Overview
- The Chiefs announced Andre Curtis on their official X account on Feb. 18 as the newest addition to the defensive staff.
- Curtis joins as safeties coach after holding the same role with the Cowboys and brings roughly two decades of NFL experience.
- He previously worked with Steve Spagnuolo with the Giants, Rams, and Saints, reuniting with the coordinator in Kansas City.
- The move adds to a retooled secondary staff even with Dave Merritt retained, reflecting a push to boost turnovers and pass defense.
