Episode Details

Many of the Chiefs’ big roster decisions were made in the form of contract extensions or restructuring, plus a draft the team counted as successful. But cut down day arrives on Saturday and the Super Bowl champion will have to let go of some candidates to trim the roster from 80 to 53. The opener is only five days later, against the Houston Texans.

Who’s on the bubble? The Chiefs have some interesting choices to make especially at wide receiver and defensive end. Special teams likely will come in to play in the process. It hasn’t helped players in camp for the first time that there was no preseason games. Their game isn’t on tape.

Chiefs beat writers Herbie Teope and Sam McDowell along with Star columnist Sam Mellinger and SportsBeat KC host Blair Kerkhoff break down the roster, specuate on the cuts, discuss the impending contract extensions of Andy Reid and Brett Veach and more.
