The best approach when viewing a roster before the start of free agency and the NFL Draft is like Gumby – be flexible when considering additions and subtractions will occur. Teams are allowed a maximum of 90 players on an offseason roster and the Kansas City Chiefs currently have 78 players, including 17 signed to reserve/future contracts. Six players return from injured …
With the 2015 season in the books, the Chiefs shift focus to the offseason with a view to improving the roster for the 2016 campaign. The Chiefs have tools to utilize to accomplish that goal in the coming months, including free agency and the draft, but free agency headlines this edition of the mailbag. @HerbieTeope Out of the long list …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Eric Berry is arguably the Chiefs’ biggest soon-to-be unrestricted free agent when the league’s calendar begins on March 9. And the Chiefs have had early dialogue with Berry’s agent with hopes to potentially keep the All-Pro safety with the team. “I’ve had various discussions with his representatives,” general manager John Dorsey said Thursday in a conference …
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Chiefs have a long offseason to ponder Saturday’s 27-20 loss to the New England Patriots. A game of what ifs are sure to ensue, the visualizing of missed plays, but the matters of playing football will take a back seat to the business side in less than two months when the league’s calendar year kicks off …
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — An NFL game is full of ebbs and flows when teams capitalize on opportunities or regret missed chances. The Chiefs could spend some time during the offseason with the latter, especially with a series that contributed to turning the game in favor of New England. Down 7-3 early in the second quarter, Chiefs punt returner Frankie Hammond …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (ankle) did not practice Friday and the Chiefs officially designate Maclin as questionable for Saturday’s game against the New England Patriots. Coach Andy Reid said Thursday that Maclin, who suffered the injury during the opening round of the playoffs against the Houston Texans, would be a game-time decision. Rookie wide receiver Chris …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (ankle) made an appearance on the practice field Thursday, but didn’t do much. “Maclin came out and did a little bit during the stretch period and that was about it,” coach Andy Reid said. Maclin, who didn’t participate in the team-related portion of practice, hasn’t practiced in recent days since suffering …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston (knee) returned to practice Wednesday on a limited basis ahead of Saturday’s game against the New England Patriots. Houston did not practice Tuesday while the team was indoors, but the Chiefs moved outdoors Wednesday on the natural grass. And it doesn’t appear Houston experienced issues with his knee after playing last …
HOUSTON – Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, arguably the NFL’s top defensive player, presents a major problem for most teams. The Kansas City Chiefs experienced it first hand in Week 1 when Watt totaled nine tackles, including six for losses, two sacks and three quarterback hits. But during Saturday’s opening game of Wild Card Weekend, Watt was barely visible as …
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Chiefs rookie center Mitch Morse (concussion) has been ruled out against the Houston Texans. With Morse not in the lineup, the Chiefs are likely to turn to second-year offensive lineman Zach Fulton, who started at center in Week 13 and filled in for Morse in the season finale. Other than Morse, the Chiefs are good shape …
