Matt Moore, DeAndre Washington Land On Chiefs’ Practice Squad

September 6th, 2020 at 4:14pm CST by Sam Robinson

After agreeing to re-sign with the Chiefs late in the offseason, Matt Moore learned he did not make their active roster. But he is not leaving Kansas City.

The defending Super Bowl champions are carrying Moore on their expanded practice squad. Moore joins Josh McCown as veteran quarterbacks who agreed to join practice squads Sunday. Teams are now permitted to carry up to six veterans of unlimited service time on their taxi squads, and the Chiefs will also use one of their slots for quarterback insurance.

Moore, signed after he’d left the game and begun working as a scout and a high school assistant coach, started two games in relief of Patrick Mahomes last year. He won one of those, against the Vikings, and that game ended up helping the Chiefs clinch the No. 2 seed in the playoffs. Moore, 36, will play an emergency role behind Mahomes and Chad Henne. The Chiefs are carrying two QBs — Moore and former XFL passer Jordan Ta’amu — on their P-squad.

Former Raiders backup running back DeAndre Washington also rejoined the Chiefs after being released. The Chiefs signed the veteran back this offseason but gave holdovers Darrel Williams and Darwin Thompson roster spots over him, despite Washington having played with Mahomes at Texas Tech.

Here is Kansas City’s full squad:

DB Rodney Clemons
LB Omari Cobb
WR Gehrig Dieter
WR Maurice Ffrench
WR Joe Fortson
LB Darius Harris
DB Lavert Hill
DT Braxton Hoyett
DB Chris Lammons
WR Kalija Lipscomb
QB Matt Moore
QB Jordan Ta’amu
DE Tim Ward
RB DeAndre Washington
C Darryl Williams

Chiefs Cutdown To 53

August 31st, 2019 at 10:08pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Chiefs announced the following moves to get down to an initial 53-man roster. Probably the most surprising move was the release of veteran guard Jeff Allen. The Chiefs drafted Allen in the second-round back in 2012, and he started four games for them last year. He’s made 80 career appearances, with 66 starts.

Here are the rest of the cuts:

Chiefs Sign 17 UDFAs

May 4th, 2019 at 11:36am CST by Ben Levine

The Chiefs have announced the signing of 17 undrafted free agents. The entire list is below:

Dino Boyd, OT (Cincinnati)
Jalin Burrell, DB (New Mexico)
Jamal Custis, WR (Syracuse)
Felton Davis, WR (Michigan State)
Mark Fields, DB (Clemson)
Jack Fox, P (Rice)
Darius Harris, LB (Middle Tennessee)
Gary Johnson, LB (Texas)
Jamire Jordan, WR (Fresno State)
Andre Lindsey, WR (Sacramento State)
T.J. Linta, QB (Wagner)
John Lovett, QB (Princeton)
Dakari Monroe, DB (San Jose State)
Kyle Shurmur, QB (Vanderbilt)
Cody Thompson, WR (Toledo)
Tim Ward, DE (Old Dominion)
James Williams, RB (Washington State)

With uncertainty surrounding Tyreek Hill, the Chiefs have been hunting for wide receiver help. They apparently focused in on Custis, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweets that the team gave him more than $100K in guaranteed money. This is the highest guarantee for an undrafted receiver in at least the past two years. The Syracuse product had a breakout campaign during his senior season, hauling in 51 receptions for 906 yards and six touchdowns. The Chiefs ended up adding five undrafted receivers in total, and that’s in addition to second-round wideout Mecole Hardman.

Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports (via Twitter) that the team also gave pricey base guarantees to Thompson ($50K), Schumer ($67K), Harris ($50K), and Fox ($45K).

The Fox move is particularly interesting, as Dustin Colquitt has been a mainstay of the Chiefs punting unit since 2005. The 36-year-old had a career-low 45 punts in 2018, although he did manage to place 21 of those inside the 20. With Colquitt eyeing his 15th NFL season, the organization may simply be looking to provide the veteran with some competition.

It’s also notable that the Chiefs added three undrafted quarterbacks. The coaching staff will presumably let the rookies battle during the early parts of camp, with perhaps one of them joining EJ Manuel, Chad Henne, and Chase Litton for the backup quarterback competition.
