The Kansas City Chiefs are undergoing significant roster changes following their Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. In the aftermath, the team has signed 11 players to future contracts for the 2025 season, including wide receivers Justyn Ross and Tyquan Thornton, and tight end Anthony Firkser.
Concurrently, the Chiefs have released seven players from their roster:
- Quarterback Chris Oladokun
- Wide receivers Jason Brownlee, Justyn Ross, and Tyquan Thornton
- Tight end Baylor Cupp
- Offensive tackle Chukuebuka Godrick
- Defensive linemen Siaki Ika and Fabien Lovett Sr.
- Cornerbacks Darius Rush and Eric Scott Jr.
- Safety Deon Bush
These moves are part of the Chiefs’ strategy to retool their roster for the upcoming season.
Additionally, the team is facing challenges with key players potentially leaving due to contract issues. Right guard Trey Smith, regarded as one of the best in the NFL, is among those whose future with the team is uncertain. The Chiefs have limited cap space, making it difficult to retain such talent.
These developments indicate a period of transition for the Chiefs as they prepare for the 2025 season.
