The Chiefs have traded offensive lineman Isaiah Battle to the Seahawks. The trade will see a conditional 2018 draft choice go to Kansas City.
Battle, a 6’7″ lineman out of Clemson, first entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Rams in the 2015 supplemental draft. After splitting time between their 53-man roster and taxi squad, he landed with the Chiefs on a futures deal this January.
Coming out of school, Battle drew comparisons to Alabama product D.J. Fluker, a first-round pick in the 2013 draft. At the same time, he was flagged by teams for his off-the-field issues. Interestingly, Fluker’s spot on the Giants’ 53-man roster is not 100% safe. Meanwhile, Battle seems likely to be on the Chiefs’ roster in Week 1.
I’d say that Battle seems pretty unlikely to be on the Chiefs’ roster week 1.
