Chiefs sign TE Mason Pline | Pro Football Talk
The Chiefs have a new tight end on the roster.
Wednesday’s transaction report from the league shows that they have signed Mason Pline. The Chiefs had an open spot after trading tackle Wanya Morris to the Falcons, so they did not need to make any corresponding move.
Pline tried out for the Chiefs at their minicamp this month. He signed with the 49ers after going undrafted in 2024 and spent the season on their practice squad. He moved on to the Saints as a waiver claim last August, but did not play in any games with New Orleans.

“What sets Chiefs Kingdom apart is the way our fans show up for one another and for their communities,” Chiefs Vice President of Fan Experience Jayne Martin said. “The Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat allows us to recognize individuals who embody the spirit of our founder, Lamar Hunt, and carry forward the values he stood for. We are excited to continue recognizing our fanbase as we open the Lamar Hunt Legacy Seat submission window for the 2026 season.”
The two gold seats – one for the honoree and one for a guest – are located in section 121 of the lower bowl, symbolically positioned under Lamar Hunt’s name in the team’s Ring of Honor. Since its introduction in 2019, nearly 80 individuals have been recognized across preseason, regular season, and postseason games at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. A list of past honorees dating back to the 2022 season can be found at www.chiefs.com/community/lamarhuntlegacyseat.
The Kansas City Chiefs are not far removed from being in the NFL elite. This is why they should not be done helping Patrick Mahomes. Kansas City still has enough talent to win. That has almost never been the question. The bigger issue is whether the Chiefs have enough proven offensive firepower around Mahomes to make the offense feel dangerous every week, not just when he drags it there himself. That is why two veteran free agents should stand out: Deebo Samuel and Stefon Diggs.
Neither player is a perfect long-term answer. That is fine. The Chiefs do not need a perfect long-term answer. They need another dangerous veteran who can help Mahomes right now.
Samuel would bring a different type of stress to the offense. He is not just a traditional receiver. He can work after the catch, line up in different spots, take manufactured touches, and force defenses to tackle in space. For an offense that has sometimes needed more easy yards, that skill set makes obvious sense.
