Hot take incoming: Chris Roland-Wallace is a safety. You want to call him a defensive back, that’s good too. But for 22 practices open to the media, he’s been working out with safeties. He’s a safety who plays slot corner just like Chamarri Conner. Just a friendly PSA, IYKYK

Chiefs have waived OG Dalton Cooper, an undrafted free agent from Oklahoma State, per source. Had a very good camp after conversion from tackle. Versatile O-lineman.

Anticipated obviously. Chiefs will likely waive Chris Oladokun as well, just depends on who returns on practice squad.
The #Chiefs are waiving QB Bailey Zappe, per source.

I will badly miss Wyatt’s coverage of Missouri State and Springfield area sports. He will absolutely crush it on the KSU beat. If you’re a Kansas State fan, give Wyatt a follow and thank me later. You’ll love his work.
I’m thrilled to share that I’m the new Kansas State athletics beat writer for @USATODAY & @CJOnline. Thanks to those who helped me reach this role, including @tommydeas, @RashawnFranklin and many others. I’ll start covering K-State full-time next week.

At the red carpet for the Chiefs celebration of “The Kingdom.” Steve Spagnuolo drove himself in a Jeep, and walked behind the backdrop and skipped the rope line. Classic Spags. 😂.

Now that the Chiefs have paradoxically started their roster reduction to 53 players with the addition of DT Derrick Nnadi, it's time to launch the 2025 roster tracker, where you can find all the news and analysis of what happens before 3 p.m. CDT Tuesday.

Mentioned this as a distinct possibility the last few days. Chiefs couldn’t risk Jets trading Nnadi elsewhere and waiting for his release. Chiefs get the nose tackle/1-tech depth they need.

The numbers have been crunched, the snaps counted, and the 20 training camp practices, three OTAs and two minicamp practices watched, to arrive at this . My final 53-player roster projection for the 2025 Chiefs roster at 3 p.m. CDT Tuesday:.
