SportsBeat KC: Chiefs mostly quiet during free agency so far. What does that mean?
Free agency opened this week with plenty of movement around the NFL, especially when it comes to quarterbacks. But one of the quieter teams was the Kansas City Chiefs.
There are a few reasons for that, and beat writer Sam McDowell and columnist Vahe Gregorian break them down on this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s daily sports podcast.
The biggest news so far has involved the Chiefs’ restructuring of Frank Clark’s contract, converting $5 million of Clark’s salary to a signing bonus. That gave the Chiefs salary cap space. What other moves made this week will have an impact on the Super Bowl champion? What could be yet to come?
