On March 17, the Kansas City Chiefs face a fairly inconsequential deadline as far as the casual fan is concerned. They must decide what to do about offensive lineman Cameron Erving’s team option.
Erving has been with the Chiefs for three seasons now, ever since Brett Veach’s earliest days as the team’s general manager. The Chiefs traded a future fifth round draft pick in exchange for Erving during the 2017 preseason, and Erving has gone on to play in 40 games, making 25 starts, in three years in that span.
On March 17, a team option must be exercised to keep Erving on the roster at a cap hit of $4.
