Dunlap compiled 39 tackles (25 solo), 4.0 sacks and a forced fumble during the 2022 regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap saw a resurgence in 2021 to the tune of 8.5 sacks, but the veteran's production fell off again in his first season with the Chiefs. Dunlap has finished with five or fewer sacks in three of the last four seasons after starting his career with 6.0 or more in nine of his first 10 seasons. He was on just a one-year deal in Kansas City, and it's hard to see another resurgence coming, but he will likely have a team willing to take a chance on him if he elects to continue his career.

Dunlap (Achilles) was not listed on the Chiefs' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap sat out Kansas City's final preseason game Aug. 25 while dealing with an inflamed Achilles, but this injury appears to have cleared up ahead of the regular season. The 33-year-old defensive end tallied 35 tackles and 8.5 sacks in a resurgent campaign with Seattle in 2021. Dunlap should now serve a key reserve role on the Chiefs' defensive line heading into Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap will join the Chiefs at their training camp after he was released by the Seahawks in March. The 33-year-old compiled 35 tackles, including 8.5 sacks, while also deflecting seven passes and forcing a fumble over 17 games with Seattle in 2021. Dunlap will provide the Chiefs with veteran leadership on the defensive line and will likely operate as the top reserve option behind rookie George Karlaftis this season.

Dunlap was released by the Seahawks on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap appeared in all 17 games for Seattle in 2021 and registered 35 tackles (24 solo), 8.5 sacks, seven pass deflections and one forced fumble. The 33-year-old veteran showed he still has some juice left and could provide valuable pass-rushing depth for a contender next season.

Dunlap (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Lions, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dunlap has been a force for the Seahawks of late, grabbing five sacks and a forced fumble over his last two games. The 12-year veteran's absence will certainly deplete the Seahawks' defensive line depth, and force L.J. Collier into a bigger role, until Dunlap is able to return.

Dunlap recorded five solo tackles, two sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

EDGE Analysis

These are the types of performances we expected out of Dunlap in his prime, but we haven't seen as much of it lately. The veteran defensive end recorded just 1.5 sacks through the first 13 games of the season, but now he has racked up five sacks over the last two games. Dunlap will look to keep the momentum rolling in Week 17 against the Lions.
