Kansas City signed Shelton on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Chiefs will be Shelton's fourth team in as many years. As the gap-filling defensive tackle enters his eighth season in the league, he'll compete with Derrick Nnadi and Tershawn Wharton for a starting spot next to three-time Pro-Bowler Chris Jones on Kansas City's front four.

Giants' Danny Shelton: Leaves early Sunday
Rotowire
Shelton left Sunday's game early against the Rams with a pectoral inury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Shelton left late in the game, so his absence creates little impact for now. He is the primary man behind Austin Johnson in the Giants' 3-4 defense, though, so any extended time missed would certainly leave the depth chart thin. Shelton will try to return in Week 7 against the Panthers.

Patriots' Danny Shelton: Pushing to start
Rotowire
Shelton has consistently received more snaps with the first team than Mike Pennel throughout training camp, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
Shelton served as a depth option in New England last season and now appears to be thriving in a more aggressive role.

Browns' Danny Shelton: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Shelton (calf) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Bengals.
Shelton had his best statistical game of the season in Week 3, logging seven combined tackles, but suffered a calf injury in practice later in the week.

Browns DT Danny Shelton returns to practice as a college grad
Rotowire
Browns defensive tackle Danny Shelton has been absent from organized team activities, but he had a very good reason. The first-round pick was finishing his course work at the University of Washington and graduated.
Shelton is now back to the Browns and will participate in the veterans minicamp next week. It was important for him to acquire his degree before joining the NFL because of a promise he made to his mother.
"It's something on my checklist I need to do and it's something my mom required for me," Shelton said. "She wanted me to have a degree before I went into the NFL. This is my way of kind of making her even more happy."
Though Shelton's last on-field action was the week after the draft, he's confident he won't miss a step as he begins to acclimate himself with the team.
"Coming in, I'm going to be mentally prepared," Shelton said. "I'll have my plays down for sure and as far as being there physically, I'm not going to rush into things and start trying to dominate, create a dominant force right away. I'm going to work with the team."

Browns DL Danny Shelton to miss OTAs while finishing degree
Rotowire
Browns rookie defensive lineman Danny Shelton will miss all three weeks of organized team activities, but it's not because the first-round pick (No. 12 overall) is injured. Shelton is back at Washington finishing up school and is on track to graduate June 14 with his degree in anthropology, per Cleveland.com.
"I'm on a little different schedule because I haven't finished school yet,'' Shelton said at rookie camp. "I'm focusing on trying to get in this work, get the most out of this weekend and get into my playbook, but at the same time be on track to graduate in June and come back and get right back on pace with these guys.''
Shelton will return to Cleveland in time for the team's mandatory minicamp June 16-18.
"It's going to have to be a lot of accountability,'' he said. "I'm going to have to make sure I'm communicating with the coaches, make sure I'm getting in the playbook and make sure that I'm keeping my cardio up at the same time."
