After seeing several 2019 NFL draft picks leave for other teams in free agency, the Kansas City Chiefs have retained a member of that class, Charles Goldman of USA Today's Chiefs Wire reports.

As first reported by Kansas City Star reporter Herbie Teope, the Chiefs have retained offensive lineman Nick Allegretti on a one-year deal. A former seventh-round pick out of the University of Illinois, Allegretti has become one of the team’s key backup offensive linemen over the past four seasons. He has appeared in 52 games, starting in 12 over that span with the flexibility to play both guard spots and center.

No word yet on how much the team dished out to retain Allegretti, but many are predicting that he signed a veteran salary benefit contract. If that’s the case, his contract shouldn’t count too much against the salary cap for Kansas City.
