Chiefs are going to have to make a bunch of cuts before signing many rookies, We also have several camp invites that might be signed.

I wish someone would cut a speed rushing DE that we could sign.

So.....would you guys give Clowney 3 years 40 mil at this point and consider the defense re built?

Maybe if the Chiefs think that Frank Clark gets suspended and they have that cap space money to use.

Probably not. If Frank does get suspended, it will be for a few games.

He's gone after this year anyway.

Clowney's primarily a SSDE. We just drafted one of those at #30.

I'd rather not take Karlaftis' snaps.

We need a RDE that's better than Clark.

Ingram can play both sides and makes more sense.

I dont' think Ingram is a LDE either though. It's more outside the box and yes I'd much prefer a speed guy opposite Karlaftis, but if you could put Clowney over there opposite him and just play with 4 guys that can slide around and play basically up and down the line, you could do damage.

Counting the players

Chiefs had -
73 Players on roster prior to the 2022 draft
+1 Traded for CB Lonnie Johnson
-1 Cut WR Chris Finke (Already signed with Bears)
+13 Added UDFAs

86 total players under contract. (Counted Orlando Brown Jr even though he has not signed tag.)

Still to come.
Chiefs have 10 draft picks to sign.
If we add any mini-camp players, we have to stay under 90 total on roster

[Chieftain]

I was looking at Jerrion Ealy's tape earlier and this kid looks like a more dynamic version of Damian Williams. I am very surprised how he wasn't drafted. His tape looks better than most running backs in this draft class.
