Brandon Flowers will be with the Chiefs today when they leave for training camp. Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert may not be.
Flowers, the Chiefs’ second-round draft pick, agreed to terms on a four-year contract Wednesday. Flowers, a cornerback who played at Virginia Tech, will be a starter when the Chiefs hold their camp practice Friday afternoon in River Falls, Wis.
Dorsey, a defensive tackle, and Albert, an offensive lineman, are first-round picks.
Chicago’s Chris Williams, who was the 14th player selected — one spot ahead of Albert — agreed on a five-year, $16 million contract ($10 million guaranteed) Wednesday.
The Chiefs held out hope they could sign Albert today before they leave for Wisconsin, but they were far less optimistic that Dorsey would be signed by Friday.
The Chiefs also signed wide receivers Timon Marshall and Sergio Joachim. Marshall played in college at Ottawa, Kan and Joachim was at Central Florida.
The Chiefs released running back Kalvin McRae, fullback Steven Jackson, offensive lineman L.J. Anderson and cornerback Jason Horton.
