The Indianapolis Colts have signed free agent defensive end Justin Houston on a two-year deal worth $24m, according to reports.
The Chiefs decided to release the 30-year-old in a cost-cutting move that allowed the Colts to make their first big splash of the off-season.
Up until now, Colts general manager Chris Ballard has focused primarily on re-signing his own players.
The only other free agent Ballard has added to his roster is former Carolina receiver Devin Funchess, who signed a one-year deal, believed to be worth $10m.
Houston, who is a four-time Pro Bowler, has spent the last eight seasons with the Chiefs.
