The Kansas City Chiefs have started the process of getting down to their final 53-man roster. Here are the moves so far…
As the Chiefs continue to whittle down from 75 players to 53, we will keep tabs right here. With each move, we will add some brief analysis and what it could mean for the position group of the player cut.
Here we go…
The #Chiefs have released OLB Andy Mulumba, a source confirmed to The Star.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 2, 2016
With the release of Mulumba, general manager John Dorsey is saying he has faith in Dadi Nicolas to be alright after straining his neck. Mulumba played well on Thursday night, but could not finish on two easy sacks.
NEWS ALERT: Chiefs release QB Aaron Murray.

We all knew this was coming barring a trade. Murray was terrible on Thursday and generally underwhelming throughout the preseason. With Nick Foles on the team and Tyler Bray continuing to show a live arm, this was a matter of time.
The #Chiefs have released WR Da’Ron Brown, a source tells me.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 2, 2016
Brown had no real chance of making the roster. He was going to be a practice squad guy at best, and could still be depending on other moves.
The #Chiefs have released OT Reid Fragel, a source tells me.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 2, 2016
Again, Fragel never had a real shot of making these team. Dorsey should be looking early and often for a swing tackle.
The #Chiefs have released CB Deveron Carr, a source tells me.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 2, 2016
Carr showed some promise in the second halves of the preseason games. Maybe he is someone the Chiefs like enough to put on the practice squad.
Report: Chiefs cutting Jeron Johnson https://t.co/PbvICZSUcL
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 2, 2016
Johnson was not going to be on the 53-man roster, so this was predictable. It also keeps the hopes of Jamell Fleming alive.
The #Chiefs have released safety Jamell Fleming, a source tells me.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 2, 2016
Unfortunately, the Fleming hope is now extinguished. We still have 14 more cuts to go.
Chiefs cut running back Darrin Reaves, expected to join practice squad after strong preseason
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) September 3, 2016
Reeves looked very good in the preseason, but couldn’t crack a very deep running back depth chart. He would be a great fit on the practice squad.
Two good young players, though https://t.co/RURgsjv60K
— Matt Stagner (@stagdsp) September 3, 2016
Smith is likely going to the practice squad, showing some skills that are worth developing.
The #Chiefs have released S Shak Randolph, a source tells me. Another intriguing practice-squad candidate.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
Randolph made a very strong impression on the Chiefs this preseason. He could be a nice project.
The #Chiefs have released TE Brian Parker, a source tells me. He is still practice-squad eligible, though.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
This was the easy cut of the five tight ends. Do the Chiefs now cut O’Shaughnessy or Travis, or do they keep four?
Confirming Jimmy Staten’s tweet, a source tells me he was released.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
Another predictable cut. Staten could be another guy the Chiefs would like to put on the practice squad.
The #Chiefs have released OL Jarrod Pughsley, a source tells me. Another prime practice squad candidate.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
Some believed he would be a nice backup to Eric Fisher. Apparently, Kansas City has some different ideas.
The #Chiefs have released C/OG Daniel Munyer, a source tells me. Another practice-squad candidate.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
With Munyer’s release, it tells you the Chiefs are likely going with seven on the active roster.
The #Chiefs have released DT David King, a source tells me. Another talented player who deserves a look.
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
With King out, the Chiefs have all but solidified their six defensive linemen.
#Chiefs announce their final cuts: WR Hammond, QB Hogan, S Vereen, LB Tyrell Adams, Streater dealt to SF
— RIP Terez A. Paylor (@TerezPaylor) September 3, 2016
Both Knile Davis and De’Anthony Thomas made it. We have our 53… for now.
We will continue to update all the cuts right here!
