The Kansas City Chiefs are looking to move on from a pair of veterans.

Kansas City has a very deep roster in most respects, and it is beginning to give us our first roster casualties. With the Chiefs (and the rest of the National Football League) having to be at 75 players per roster on Tuesday at 3 p.m. CST, there might be a few veteran players on the chopping block.

Kansas City is reportedly looking to trade both running back Knile Davis and quarterback Aaron Murray. The Chiefs are loaded at both positions and while both guys have some promise, it could be time to simply move on.

General manager John Dorsey is going to have an easier time moving Davis than he will Murray. Davis has proven to be a capable if not spectacular running back while providing a great return man on kickoffs. Don’t believe me? Ask the Houston Texans.

Murray is a completely different story. The third-year pro out of the University of Georgia has never played a meaningful NFL down. In last year’s preseason, he looked great and made some believe he could at least have a future in Kansas City as a backup. This preseason has been a different story, with Murray turning the ball over left and right.

If Dorsey gets anything for Murray, we should all throw the biggest party the world has ever seen.

Kansas City has one more game to go in the preseason, hosting the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium. After that, the team has to get down to the final 53-man roster. At that juncture, Dorsey will need to decide whether he goes with Davis and Murray on the roster, or if he simply releases them barring a trade.
