Before we go any further, let’s define what Released and Waived mean:
Released means:
“… their contract is terminated effective immediately and they are free to sign with any team they want from that point on.”
Waived means:
“… their contract is not yet terminated, but rather that they are on a “waiver wire” that makes them available to be “claimed” by other teams.”

While I think the trade for a DT — Neil Farrell Jr. — was due to the hold out of Chris Jones, he may also be the one who is cut when CJ decides to return (0:11).

My biggest surprise was probably the waiving of OT Darian Kinnard. OT Jason “CHU” Chukwuebuka Godrick can be resigned to the Practice Squad with a designation because he came through the NFL International Player Pathway. I was also surprised that both RBs La’Michal Perine and Deneric Prince were cut. Hopefully they find their way back on to the Chiefs roster and at least the Practice Squad. Aside from all those moves, I’m wondering why DL Charles Omenihu’s name wasn’t mentioned anywhere?
Let’s take a look at what Cole DeRuse has to say about the new 53 (13:12).
