Chiefs Cut Down To Final 53

September 1st, 2018 at 4:01pm CST by Sam Robinson

In addition to David Amerson, the Chiefs will release longtime depth cog Frank Zombo.

The outside linebacker’s been in Kansas City since the Andy Reid regime began in 2013. He started 11 games in 2016, when Justin Houston missed most of the season with knee trouble, but will not be part of the 2018 team. The Chiefs drafted Breeland Speaks in the second round and plan to use 2017 second-rounder Tanoh Kpassagnon more extensively than they did last season.

Chiefs Sign Three Draft Picks

May 7th, 2017 at 7:52pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Chiefs announced their 12-man contingent of UDFAs on Saturday and have reached agreements with three of their six draft picks — each joining the team as a Day 3 selection.

Kansas City signed fourth-round wide receiver Jehu Chesson (Michigan), fifth-round linebacker Ukime Eligwe (Georgia Southern) and sixth-round safety Leon McQuay III (USC), Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star reports.

This leaves only the team’s top three selections — first-round quarterback Patrick Mahomes, second-round edge defender Tanoh Kpassagnon and third-round running back Kareem Hunt — as unsigned rookies as the team conducts its rookie minicamp, which began this weekend and housed 69 tryout candidates.

Chiefs Acquire Pick #139 From Vikings

April 29th, 2017 at 12:51pm CST by Ben Levine

Looks like Kansas City is moving up once again. The Chiefs have acquired pick #139 from the Vikings, according to ESPN.com’s Ben Goessling (via Twitter). Minnesota will receive a pair of fifth-rounders (picks #170 and picks #180).

With their new draft pick, the Chiefs selected wide receiver Jehu Chesson. The offensive weapon spent four seasons at Michigan, where he served in a variety of roles. This past season, Chesson hauled in 35 catches for 500 yards and two touchdowns. He also added another 63 rushing yards. His best collegiate season came in 2015, when he finished with 919 all-purpose yards and 11 scores.
