The Kansas City Chiefs signed punter Matt Araiza due to Tommy Townsend leaving for the Texans. Townsend, undrafted in 2020, played for the Chiefs for four seasons before departing. He holds an impressive career regular-season average of 47.4 yards.

Last month, Araiza, a sixth-round draft pick of the Bills in 2022, joined the Chiefs after being cut. Known for his strong leg, Araiza is set to compete as the Chiefs' new punter.
