One week after safety Tyvon Branch had his contract terminated by the Oakland Raiders, he signed with AFC West rival Kansas City.

Branch signed a one-year deal that can be worth as much as $4 million.

Branch, 28, was the Raiders’ fourth-round draft pick in 2008 out of Connecticut, and he spent all seven of his NFL seasons in Oakland.

Injuries limited him to two games in 2012 (broken leg) and three in 2013 (broken foot). The previous three seasons, he started every game and made more than 100 tackles each year.

Branch had one season left on a four-year contract that included $17.6 million guaranteed. His salary for 2015 would have been $5.5 million with a $9,657,000 salary-cap hit and a $1 million roster bonus due this month.

In 75 games as a member of the Raiders, Branch compiled 476 tackles, four interceptions and 20 passes defensed.
