Today’s minor moves:

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed to active roster: LB Cole Christiansen
Placed on IR: LB Cam Jones

San Francisco 49ers

Reverted to IR: WR Danny Gray

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Reverted to IR: DL Mike Greene

Jones’ rookie season has come to an end, given the requirement for players on injured reserve to miss four weeks. The UDFA was used primarily on special teams this year, but he appeared in all 17 regular season games as well as the Chiefs’ wild-card win. Christiansen last played in Week 17, which marked his fifth appearance of the campaign. Kansas City will need to make another roster move soon to create room for wideout Skyy Moore to come back into the lineup, after he was designated for return earlier today.

Chiefs Sign 15 UDFAs

As the Chiefs prepare for the start of their rookie minicamp this weekend, the team announced the signing of 15 undrafted rookies:

CB Montrae Braswell (Missouri State)
OL Jerome Carvin (Tennessee)
S Anthony Cook (Texas)
OL Anderson Hardy (Appalachian State)
OL Blake Haynes (Tarleton State)
LB Cam Jones (Indiana)
DE Truman Jones (Harvard)
S Martez Manuel (Missouri)
LB Isaiah Moore (North Carolina State)
DB Isaiah Norman (Marshall)
RB Deneric Prince (Tulsa)
WR Nikko Remigio (Fresno State)
WR Tyrone Scott (Missouri State)
CB Reese Taylor (Purdue)
CB Anthony Witherstone (Merrimack)

The Chiefs also added Nigerian offensive lineman Chukwuebuka Godrick via the NFL International Player Pathway (IPP) program.

According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler (on Twitter), edge rusher Truman Jones got $236K in guaranteed money from the Chiefs. The Harvard product led the Ivy League with 13 tackles for loss last season, although his best bet for making the Chiefs active roster may be on special teams. Jones had a standout 2022 season on ST, finishing with three blocked kicks.

Elsewhere on defense, Indiana’s Cam Jones got a $15K signing bonus and an $135K base salary guarantee from Kansas City, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero (on Twitter). The linebacker finished his college career with 208 tackles and seven sacks, and he was projected to be a late-round pick after leading the Big Ten in tackles per game (10.8) through the first five contests. However, a foot injury ended his season prematurely, and Jones ended up going undrafted as a result.

On the offensive side of the ball, running back Deneric Prince got $231K in guaranteed money, including a $15K signing bonus, per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com (on Twitter). The Tulane standout averaged more than five yards per carry during his college career, including a 2022 campaign where he compiled a career-high 729 rushing yards. Prince turned heads at the combine when he was fourth at the position in the 40-yard dash and fifth in broad jump.
