The Kansas City Chiefs continue to add pieces for the 2021 offseason roster.
According to the NFL’s official transaction report, the Chiefs have signed DB Rodney Clemons, RB Derrick Gore and DT Tyler Clark to reserve/future contracts. All three of the players visited the team recently ahead of Super Bowl LV.
Both Clemons and Clark have spent time on the Chiefs’ practice squad this season, while Gore spent time on the Chargers’ practice squad this season. Gore was among the group of seven players who first visited the team in early January.
If you’re not familiar with reserve/future signings work, they allow players to join teams prior to the beginning of the new league year. Those players won’t count against the 53-man roster at all. As soon as the new league year begins and the 90-man offseason roster is opened up, each of Clemons, Gore and Clark will be activated to the roster.
The Chiefs have now signed a total of nine players to reserve/future contracts. These three players join TE Sean Culkin, OT Prince Tega Wanogho, WR Chad Williams, WR Antonio Callaway, QB Jordan Ta’amu and QB Anthony Gordon. Clemons and Clark are the first two defensive players that the team has added.
