Kazee started 16 games for Dallas in 2021 between the regular season and playoffs; tallying 60 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles.
After tearing his Achilles the season prior, Kazee signed with the Cowboys to reunite with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who drafted the Kazee to the Falcons in the fifth-round out of San Diego State.
In Atlanta, the 28-year-old totaled 199 tackles, 13 passes defensed, 10 interceptions and forced seven fumbles.

The Seahawks already have a pair of Pro Bowl safeties in Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs signed through 2024. But in the modern NFL, you can never have enough depth in the defensive backfield.
Kazee has also had reported interest from the Bears and Steelers.
