When Ted Thompson was in charge of the Green Bay Packers’ personnel department, most of the free agents he signed were players who had been released by their previous teams while still under contract. Julius Peppers is perhaps the best example of this — the Bears cut him shortly after the 2013 season concluded, and the Packers scooped him up.
That scenario could play out again in 2019. The Kansas City Chiefs are going to release veteran pass-rusher Justin Houston, first reported by FanSided’s Matt Verderame on March 4th and eventually corroborated by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on March 10th.
