The Kansas City Chiefs made their latest roster moves official on Tuesday.
The team announced they’d waived undrafted free agent signings Andre Lindsey, Dakari Monroe and Jamire Jordan. Jordan was waived with an injury designation. Additionally the team has waived Leon McQuay, a former sixth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2017. He’s spent a lot of time on the practice squad during his time in Kansas City.
The Chiefs also announced four signings of tryout players following their rookie minicamp. We’ve already reported on Marcus Marshall, Herb Miller and Andrew Soroh. Those signings are now made official by the team. In addition to those three players, the Chiefs also added WR Rashard Davis. He’s a second-year player formerly of the James Madison Dukes. He spent time with both the Eagles and the Raiders during the 2018 season.
The Chiefs essentially replaced McQuay, Monroe and one of the receivers with these four signings. The departure of McQuay means that Patrick Mahomes and Tanoh Kpassagnon are the only players remaining from the Chiefs’ 2017 draft class.
The team added another RB to the roster, bringing the total on the 90-man roster up to eight players, which is consistent with their offseason strategy from the 2018 season.
Perhaps the most shocking thing about these moves is that the Chiefs still haven’t made a transaction involving a quarterback. They currently have six quarterbacks on the roster. I’m not sure how they’ll manage repetitions throughout OTA’s and the offseason program. It’s hard to see each of them truly getting a fair chance to prove themselves.
