Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Joe Mays has revealed that he is looking forward to once again working with head coach Andy Reid after joining his old coach on Wednesday.

Mays, who was drafted in 2008 by Reid at Philadelphia Eagles, said that he has a good understanding with Reid but as yet does not know which role he will be expected to play in 2014.

"We have a pretty good relationship," he told the club's official website. "It was just like I hadn't left, when I had a chance to see him, when I came out there. He was smiling and I was smiling; it was just good to see him.

"He seemed like he was in good spirits. Everything is going well, and it's just exciting to get back with him, because I know the type of person that he is.

"They haven't really said much; the only thing they've told me is they're going to bring me in to compete. So, I'll let everything else play out and just come in there and do what I need to do and hopefully, I'll carve out a role for myself."

As well as the Eagles, Mays has played for Denver Broncos and Houston Texans.
