Chiefs re-sign linebacker Jack Cochrane ahead of NFL draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed linebacker Jack Cochrane, a key special teams contributor, ahead of his fourth NFL season. Since joining the team as an undrafted free agent in 2022, Cochrane has won two Super Bowl championships and recorded 42 combined tackles across 54 games, primarily focusing on special teams duties. He played 78% of special teams snaps last season but missed the end of the year and playoffs due to injury. The Chiefs tendered him as a restricted free agent prior to this signing, which is reported to be worth $3.263 million for the upcoming season. Cochrane's career has flourished since earning All-Missouri Valley Football Conference honors during his college years at South Dakota. His performance on special teams will continue to be crucial as the team prepares for the 2025 season.
