Breeland who had an interception in the Super Bowl, is returning to the Chiefs on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, according to a source.
Breeland started 15 regular-season games and all three playoff games after joining the Chiefs as a free agent last year on a one-year contract.
Breeland started 15 regular-season games and all three playoff games after joining the Chiefs as a free agent last year on a one-year contract.
He delivered one of the biggest plays for the Chiefs during the regular season when he returned a fumble 100 yards for a touchdown in a September game against the Detroit Lions.
The play turned the game in favor of the Chiefs, who went on to win 34-30.
Overall, he had 48 tackles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions during the regular season.
Breeland played one of his best games of the season in Super Bowl LIV. He had an interception and led the Chiefs with seven tackles, including two for negative yardage.

In addition to Breeland, the Chiefs later announced the signing of former Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones to an undisclosed deal. Seals-Jones appeared in 14 games (three starts) last season and contributed 14 catches for 229 yards and four touchdowns.
The Super Bowl champions are slated to come back at just about full strength in 2020.
With the signing of Breeland they’re set to return 20 of their 22 starters from their win over the 49ers at Super Bowl LIV.
Only guard Stefen Wisniewski (who signed with the Steelers) and linebacker Reggie Ragland (who signed with the Lions) are gone among Kansas City’s 22 Super Bowl starters.

Although there’s always the possibility of a player retiring, getting cut, getting traded or leaving for some other reason, at the moment it appears that the Chiefs will have all their other starters back.
