Free-agent defensive back Robert Rochell has reached a one-year agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs, per Adam Schefter. The details of the contract have not been disclosed. Rochell is entering his fifth season after the Los Angeles Rams selected him in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old suited up 11 times in 2024, garnering one snap. He'll join fellow cornerback Kristian Fulton as the team's new additions at DB. The Central Arkansas alum's lack of production throughout his tenure (15 tackles, one interception) points to him being just more depth for the squad. Rochell could push for more playing time with the Chiefs' defense in flux. However, he's unlikely to make waves in fantasy.
The Green Bay Packers re-signed cornerback Robert Rochell to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. In his first year with Green Bay in 2023, Rochell played in just nine games (zero starts) and recorded four solo tackles. He also suited up for both of the team's playoff games. The 25-year-old was a fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 out of Central Arkansas. He has started only five of the 37 games he's played in so far in three NFL seasons (two with the Rams), totaling 23 tackles (20 solo), an interception and two fumble recoveries. Rochell will return to the Packers in 2024 to provide both secondary and special teams depth.
