Lee signed a one-year deal with the Chiefs on Tuesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lee joins the Chiefs after spending the last season-and-a-half with the Browns. The five-year veteran appeared in 16 games for Cleveland last season, recording 15 tackles (11 solo).

Lee was waived by the Lions on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The ex-49er was exclusively deployed on special teams during his time in Detroit, after starting on defense six times for San Francisco between 2018 and 2019. Lee's best season came two years ago when he racked up 65 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble, but his 2020 stint with the Lions was uneventful as he accumulated just two total tackles in limited work.
