Alohi Gilman Signs with Chiefs
Alohi Gilman has officially agreed to a three-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a significant move that is expected to bolster the team’s defense. The contract is valued at $24.75 million, with $15 million guaranteed.
Prior to joining the Chiefs, Gilman played for the Baltimore Ravens, where he was a key contributor to the team’s defensive turnaround after being acquired in a midseason trade from the Los Angeles Chargers during the 2025 season. He started 12 games at deep safety for the Ravens and finished as the team’s sixth-leading tackler with 68 tackles.
In his career, Gilman has accumulated a total of 320 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 27 passes defended. He has also logged 85 regular-season appearances and 51 starts. His performance has earned him recognition, including an AFC Defensive Player of the Week award.
Gilman was initially drafted in the sixth round by the Chargers in 2020, and he played college football for both the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Navy Midshipmen. His younger brother, Alaka’i Gilman, also plays safety, representing the Utah Utes.
This signing is expected to have a significant impact on the Chiefs’ defensive strategies moving forward, as they look to enhance their performance in the upcoming season. Gilman’s experience and skills will be pivotal as the team aims for success.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding how Gilman’s role will evolve within the Chiefs’ defensive lineup and the specific strategies the coaching staff plans to implement.
