Chiefs can re-sign 4 pending free agents without breaking the bank

These four players won’t be terribly expensive for the Kansas City Chiefs to re-sign.

The Chiefs traded for Lucas ahead of 53-man roster cuts in 2018. Since that move, Lucas has been a solid depth piece and a multi-phase special teams player. In 2019, Lucas only played 42 defensive snaps but he played 267 snaps on special teams. He had some standout plays on special teams including a hustle play in the Super Bowl.

This would probably be one of the more expensive contracts on this list. A one-year $2.5 million deal is not out of the question given his 2019 contract tender as a restricted free agent. However, it’ll cost Kansas City much more to keep a player like Kendall Fuller and the Chiefs need some insurance in the event Juan Thornhill’s injury recovery takes longer than expected. Lucas knows the system and still has some room for growth on the defensive side of the ball.
