Chiefs waive Khaseem Greene after he’s indicted on weapons charges
The Chiefs waived linebacker Khaseem Greene on Tuesday after he was indicted on weapons charges in New Jersey.
Greene, 28, is a former fourth-round pick of the Chicago Bears in 2013 who was signed to a reserve-futures contract in January.
He was released after NJ.com reported that Greene was indicted in connection with a December shooting outside of a nightclub in Elizabeth, N.J.
According to court records, Greene was shown on surveillance video handing a gun to a Jason C. Sanders, a co-defendant, who discharged the weapon into a crowd.
Both men were charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. Greene was charged Jan. 4, according to NJ.com, about three weeks before he signed with the Chiefs.
Greene has recorded 45 tackles and an interception in his four-year career.
