Chiefs Sign S Tyvon Branch To A One-Year Deal Chiefs are signing S Tyvon Branch to a one-year contract. The Raiders released Branch in a move that freed up $2.986 million in available cap space. There was talk for a few months that Oakland could move on from Branch, so his release wasn’t all that shocking. Many have suggested that the Ravens could make sense for Branch given that signing him wouldn’t impact their compensatory picks and they could really use safety help. Branch, 28, had another three years remaining on his contract, but also had the highest cap figure on the team. Last year, Branch appeared in three games and recorded 29 tackles, one sack and a pass defense for the Raiders’ defense.

I’ll definitely help the team out, but it has to be reasonable—what I feel is reasonable.” On what he feels is reasonable: “I don’t know. I have to see what exactly what my agent and the team is talking about and whatever I feel is reasonable. It’s not set like this is what it is. If we come to an agreement, I’m with it. Like I said, I’m not about to do something too crazy. I still have a family that comes first.” On if he’s communicated a pay cut limit: “Not really because whatever the deal is going to be, it’s going to be to where I get my money back. It’s not going to be like I just take a cut and that’s what it is. No, it’s not going to be like that. If it is a restructure, (there’s) going to have to be ways I can earn my money back.”
