The Kansas City Chiefs will have a lot of tricky roster decisions coming up over the next few weeks. As we approach the new league year in March, the 2020 90-man roster will begin to take shape. Brett Veach and the Kansas City front office will have the opportunity to bring a few players back without breaking the bank. Some of those players were contributors in the Super Bowl LIV run, while others had their seasons ended too soon. Here’s a look at four players the Chiefs can bring back inexpensively.
CB Keith Reaser
Reaser was previously with the Chiefs during the 2017 season. He had his big standout game during Patrick Mahomes’ debut against the Denver Broncos. Ahead of the 2018 season, Reaser suffered an injury and was waived with an injury designation.
Eventually, Reaser joined the fledgling Alliance of American Football league, where he proved himself on the Orlando Apollos. He had 12 tackles and three interceptions in eight weeks before the league shut down operations. After the AAF folded, the Chiefs signed Reaser to a one-year contract worth $820,000 for the 2019 season. Reaser suffered a torn Achilles during training camp practice and his season was over before he had a chance once again.
The Chiefs are set to lose Bashaud Breeland, Kendall Fuller and Morris Claiborne to free agency. Reaser has inside-outside versatility at the cornerback position, which will be valuable to the Chiefs in 2020. He also is a stud special teams player which he proved during his first stint in Kansas City. The Chiefs can bring him back on a prove-it deal assuming he makes a full recovery from injury.
