Fisher was released by Kansas City after he sustained a torn Achilles tendon in the AFC Championship game and missed the Super Bowl. That injury may carry into the 2021 regular season.

According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, and ESPN's Adam Schefter, Fisher agreed to a one-year, $9.4 million deal.
