After what seems like the longest offseason in NFL history, the Kansas City Chiefs have announced the final 53-man roster. From the draft to free agency to trades, this year’s team looks very different than it did a year ago—especially defensively.
The Chiefs started free agency with a splash, signing safety Tyrann Mathieu—known as the “Honey Badger”—to a 3-year contract worth $42 million. They also released franchise safety Eric Berry, a move that was hard to take as a fan but a necessary one. Berry wasn’t the only longtime veteran that the Chiefs parted ways with, as they also released linebacker Justin Houston.
