Chiefs’ tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz are the latest players to become casualties to the NFL salary cap. The Chiefs released both players on Thursday despite each being a starter this season. However, injuries kept them out of Super Bowl LV against Tampa Bay.
Judging by how the game played out, it would be an understatement to say that the Chiefs could have used both tackles as the Buccaneers unleashed a vicious pass rush that often ended with Patrick Mahomes on the turf. Mahomes was sacked three times, hit seven times, hurried 11 times, and pressured 21 times.
