BREAKING: The Chiefs are signing tight end Kevin Foelsch. Foelsch a 24 year old tight end from the University of New Haven spent time on the Jets and the Eagles practice squads last season.
The Kansas City Chiefs continue to build depth heading into the 2025 season, signing 24-year-old tight end Kevin Foelsch. A standout at the University of New Haven, Foelsch brings intriguing potential to an already talented roster.
Though he went undrafted, Foelsch has spent time developing on the practice squads of the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles. That experience gave him exposure to NFL-level coaching and competition — something that could pay dividends as he looks to carve out a role in Kansas City.
At 6’4” and 250 pounds, Foelsch has the size and athleticism that teams covet at the tight end position. While he’s still considered a developmental player, the Chiefs’ coaching staff has a proven history of turning raw talent into on-field contributors — especially at tight end under Andy Reid’s system.
With Travis Kelce still leading the way but entering the twilight of his career, the Chiefs are smart to invest in young options. Foelsch will compete for a spot in training camp and could be a name to watch in preseason action.
It’s a low-risk move with potential upside — exactly the kind of strategic signing that has helped the Chiefs stay at the top of the NFL.
