Potential cuts that could help the Chiefs

I don't think that's the case on camp cuts, right?

Depends on service time.

4 accrued seasons = released. Less than 4 accrued seasons = waived.

So if it's someone on their rookie deal that gets cut, that guy has to pass through waivers. If it's someone on a vet deal, that guy is a free agent.

As to the OP question - hard to say. Obviously my desire is at DE but I don't see anyone getting cut that's better than, say, Sheldon Richardson, JPP, Benson Mayowa or Tre Flowers. And those guys are all FAs still and we haven't brought them in. Just seems unlikely that DL help is on the way.

So the other option you mentioned already is RT. But Reid prefers continuity on his OL over all else. I just don't see any way he brings in a street FA guy to replace Wylie. And I don't think Christian has done anything to cost himself a roster spot in that role.

I'd be surprised if there are any additions to the 53 at this point. Maybe a RB after they cut Jones? Someone with a little more bulk who can run hard between the tackles? Jordan Wilkins would seem like a possibility and a similar but better version of Darrell Williams.

Maybe a CB? I'd be surprised if anybody worth a crap is cut loose, but the CB room sure looks like suddenly we'll have a 7th round pick on the roster. That's...different. WR? These guys never have seemed to be able to quit Sammy Watkins.

Really like if a speed rusher would shake out somewhere. Maybe a CB as you said.

Watkins is like the Packers #2 receiver right now haha.
