LeSean McCoy may not have been wanted in Buffalo anymore, but the recently released running back didn't wait long before finding a new home.

The ex-Buffalo Bills standout is reuniting with his former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid, signing a one-year deal worth up to $4 million with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move puts McCoy back in Reid's offense, a system he played in from 2009 to 2012. The 31-year-old was a star with the Eagles during that time, which included a standout 2011 season when he ran for 1,309 yards and scored a career single-season high 17 touchdowns on the ground.

Signing McCoy gives reigning MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes another option in the league's highest-scoring offense from a year ago. The six-time Pro Bowler will fill the spot in the backfield that Carlos Hyde vacated after the Chiefs reportedly dealt the veteran to Houston on Saturday.
