Report: Kansas City Chiefs Claim Damion Square Off Waivers
By Ben Nielsen
A report from Josina Anderson of ESPN says the Kansas City Chiefs have claimed defensive lineman Damion Square off of waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles. Twitter proof:
Square was released by the Eagles yesterday after choosing to go with draft pick (and former Oregon Duck) Taylor Hart over Square. Square went undrafted in 2013 out of Alabama and ended up seeing minimal action with the Eagles last season.
Reports from Philadelphia suggest Square is best suited at nose tackle, an area of desperate need for the Chiefs as they have nothing behind Dontari Poe at the position. It was also a surprise he was made available to the Chiefs in the first place. Some tweets to consider:
Kansas City must release somebody from the 53-man roster in order to make room for Square. The Chiefs were only carrying five defensive linemen before the Square move so the roster cut will likely come from another position.
