The Pittsburgh Steelers have traded Melvin Ingram III to the Kansas City Chiefs for a sixth round pick.

Ingram, a former Pro Bowler who spent nine seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, signed a one-year deal with the Steelers prior to training camp as a rotational outside linebacker

The Chiefs and Steelers engaged in trade talks in the last couple of weeks, but initially the Steelers opted to hold on to their pass rusher in hopes they could find a suitor that wasn't in the AFC.
