Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has sparked controversy with the team's decision to sign kicker Justin Tucker, according to reports. Tucker, who has been described as disgraced, could replace incumbent kicker Harrison Butker.

Butker missed two field goals in the Chiefs' most recent game and has missed 15 field goals and extra points combined since the start of last season. The signing aims to address the team's kicking struggles.

The move has drawn criticism from fans and analysts, who question the acquisition of a player with a troubled past. Reid has not publicly commented on the backlash.
