The development of Dillon Gordon into an offensive lineman will have to continue somewhere else now that the Kansas City Chiefs have made their decision to release him. Shortly after his release, he was claimed by the Carolina Panthers.
Gordon came to Chiefs as a late-season signing in the 2017 season to the practice squad, the sort of late season grab general managers use to set up the next offseason’s batch of prospect. The Giants had already poached Damien Mama from the Chiefs practice squad, so the team replaced him with Gordon, who intrigued Brett Veach and his staff enough to keep him around for the last year-and-a-half given his potential to shift from college tight end to pro offensive tackle.
