The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers finally made their reserve/futures contracts official after the Super Bowl on Tuesda, weeks after some other teams had done the same. Per the NFL’s transaction wire, the Chiefs added nine players to their roster while the Niners added seven.
For fans of the Chiefs, many of the names will sound familiar because they’ve been around on the team’s practice squad or even from the preseason last year. The Chiefs believe in these players enough to develop them further and see what future competition will yield. Given the Chiefs’ willingness to play the best available no matter the investment, it will be interesting to see who earns a real shot at the active roster from this bunch.
