Chiefs free agency: Wednesday’s happenings
We will keep you updated on all the Kansas City Chiefs news and notes right here.
The Kansas City Chiefs are hoping to improve their team on Wednesday, with 3 p.m. CST signaling the official opening on free agency and the new league year. The Chiefs have already tagged Eric Berry and re-signed Tamba Hali to a three-year deal worth $22 million.
Kansas City still has a bunch of players to try and bring back into the fold including Jaye Howard, Sean Smith, Mike DeVito, Derrick Johnson, Jeff Allen, Chase Daniel, Husain Abdullah, Frank Zombo, Tyvon Branch and more. So far, the only Chiefs player to move on in free agency was tackle Donald Stephenson, who went to the Denver Broncos. Good luck, Denver.
We will constantly be updating the situations of both the Chiefs’ free agents and the team’s interests below, so keep it here all afternoon.

It's been clear since he was hired, Doug Pederson wanted Chase Daniel. The #Eagles signing of Sam Bradford didn't. change that.

I can confirm that Chase Daniel will sign with the Eagles on a multi-year deal, sources tell me. @AdamSchefter and @caplannfl had it first.

Sean Smith
KC, Oak, SF still in on Sean Smith.

The #Raiders have turned their attention to #KCChiefs free agent Sean Smith, with Janoris Jenkins off the market. But KC isn't out of it yet

#Raiders and Sean Smith can get a deal done but there's still plenty of work that needs to get done and plenty of competition.

Source said #Raiders were in on Jenkins hard before #Giants closed deal. Oak could ramp up interest in Sean Smith with top CB choice gone.
