Tracking the Chiefs’ 2020 undrafted free agent signings

Keep track of all Kansas City Chiefs post-draft signings here.

The Kansas City Chiefs have wrapped up the 2020 NFL Draft, but the festivities are not over. The team will continue to add undrafted free agents to fill out their 90-man roster.

We’ll track all of Kansas City’s signings and list them here. Be sure to bookmark this page and refresh it for periodic updates.

Keep in mind that this is a unique season, in the past, we’ve had to differentiate between signings and rookie minicamp invites. Rookie minicamp is on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so there likely won’t be any reported invites initially. The Chiefs will ultimately announce the official batch of UDFA signings at a later date.

Keep in mind that there are still several undrafted free agents from the 2018 and 2019 class that are still on the Chiefs 90-man roster today. These players have a chance to impact the team just like a drafted player, but they face different challenges along the way.

Here is a look at the Chiefs’ 2020 draft class:

Round Position Player School
Round 1, 32 Overall RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire LSU
Round 2, 63 Overall LB Willie Gay Jr. Mississippi St.
Round 3, 96 Overall OT Lucas Niang TCU
Round 4, 138 Overall CB L’Jarius Sneed LA Tech
Round 5, 177 Overall DE Mike Danna Michigan
Round 7, 237 Overall CB Thakarius ‘Bopete’ Keyes Tulane

We’ll be tracking Carroll’s clues as they continue to drop so you can take your best shot at predicting the Seahawks’ picks. So without further ado, let the guessing begin!

The Green Bay Packers can officially meet with 30 prospects before the start of the 2020 NFL draft.

Pre-draft meetings are different this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead of hosting prospects for in-person meetings and workouts at facilities, teams are meeting with players virtually.

Here’s a tracker of who the Packers have met with before the 2020 draft:

2020 Saints free agency tracker: Instant analysis on every roster move

The New Orleans Saints are already active in free agency during the NFL negotiating window. Bookmark this link for instant analysis.

[jwplayer xavzn6Vp-ThvAeFxT]

The New Orleans Saints have been active in working to retain their own pending free agents during the legal tampering window, but it’s only a matter of time before they elbow their way into the open market. Check this space often for updates and instant analysis on every move the Saints make in free agency.

Players re-signed

  • 3/16. Defensive tackle David Onyemata: three years, $27 million. Onyemata was expected to earn more than $10 million per year in free agency, and many of his peers surpassed that bar. So the Saints being able to retain him at a below-market value was huge. Onyemata is a rising talent at an important position, and keeping him around makes the team better.

Players lost

  • 3/16. Linebacker A.J. Klein: three years, $18 million. Klein gets a pay raise to join his old coach, now with the Buffalo Bills. It would have been nice for the Saints to re-sign him but not at this price. Klein’s departure would recoup a sixth-round selection in 2021 if the Saints qualify for any compensatory picks in next year’s draft. New Orleans must look for linebacker depth elsewhere with two projected starters (Alex Anzalone and Kiko Alonso) returning from season-ending injuries.

Players gained

  • TBD

Cowboys 2020 Free Agency recap, cap space update, comp-pick tracker

The NFL season has begun, even if it hasn’t. Keep track of everything Cowboys-related in one place.

The Dallas Cowboys made a series of moves during the first day of the legal tampering window. It really is an afront to the sensibilities of the general public. Teams across the NFL have clearly been negotiating with player representatives to get the framework of the early deals worked out. The scouting combine is normally when a lot of that begins, and then continues for a couple weeks as front offices talk to agents about currently-under-contract players, and sleekly slip in talk about free agents.

So when the curtain lifted on what is really the start of the league year, deals are already in place, and the media learns of plenty of deals in the first few minutes and hours like what happened on Monday starting at noon Eastern.

The Cowboys were involved all Monday, not just through the guys they were able to keep, but a few they lost to other clubs and who they are linked to to replace them. Things started early with the franchise tag being placed on quarterback Dak Prescott, to the late-evening loss of Randall Cobb to the in-state rival Houston Texans. In between, the club restructured two offensive players for different reasons, and signed two of Prescott’s top three passing targets to long-term deals.

Here, we’ll keep track of all of the comings and goings, and the most interesting associations that may or may not ever come to fruition for the Dallas Cowboys. Later, we’ll place all of the actual moves in perspective of the 2021 compensatory picks, as Dallas stands to make their most massive haul in years based on who they have and will continue to see sign elsewhere.

Free Agents Lost

CB Byron Jones – Signed with Dolphins, 5 years $82.5 million

Salary Cap Update

Using Over the Cap salary amounts, the Cowboys have a projected $41 million of cap space remaining after the tag of Prescott, signing of Jarwin, restructure of Collins and three tenders of RFA/ERFA guys.

This does NOT include Cooper’s deal, as the specific structure has not been agreed upon, so first-year cap hit is still currently unknown.


Player Associations

Tracking pro day attendance for the Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs will continue to attend pro days into April. We’re keeping track of the ones they’ve been to.

The Kansas City Chiefs are hard at work scouting players eligible for the upcoming 2020 NFL draft. They’ve been very active in the pro day circuit so far, despite reports that NFL teams are dialing back pro day attendance due to COVID-19 concerns.

Pro days feature many of the same measurable drills and on-field workouts as the NFL Scouting Combine. They aren’t quite as thorough as the combine, but the setting is a bit more intimate. Teams use this opportunity to gather information on both well-known and little-known prospects across the country. Much of this information will help them come to a final decision on their draft board.

Below you’ll find pro days where we’ve been able to confirm that the Chiefs had a scout in attendance.

School Date
Kansas Mar. 3
Kansas State Mar. 4
Illinois Mar. 9
Northwestern Mar. 10
Wyoming Mar. 10
Oklahoma Mar. 11
Stony Brook Mar. 11
Georgia Tech Mar. 11

Be sure to bookmark this page and check back often for updates as pro day season continues. You can also follow us on Facebook and Twitter, where we’ll post periodic updates. For a list of upcoming pro days, be sure to check out the gallery below.

Draft season is in full swing. With every team having an allotted 30 pre-draft visitors to the team’s facility, it’s time to keep an eye on who is heading to meet with the Dallas Cowboys brain trust.

Under former head coach Jason Garrett, the visitors had been a key component in identifying who the Cowboys would consider drafting. With Mike McCarthy and almost a brand new coaching staff on board, it’s hard to say if that tradition will continue, but it’s worthwhile to follow along to see who the staff may be interested in come April.

Check back often as this list will be continuously updated!

Position Player School Source
WR Michael Pittman Jr. USC Player

Michael Pittman Jr., USC

Pittman comes in as the No. 10 ranked wide receiver on Dane Brugler’s pre-combine list. The senior came into his own in 2019, nearly doubling his production from his previous campaign, tallying 101 catches, 1275 yards and 11 touchdowns. From Brugler’s write-up:

With his large hands and powerful attack skills, Pittman makes plays over defenders and doesn’t fight the football, recording only two drops on 140 targets in 2019. He is an athletic route runner, but lacks dynamic start/stop burst to quickly create separation or be a consistent YAC threat.
