The Kansas City Chiefs have moved on from two veteran players 10 days after their Super Bowl 59 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Andy Reid’s Chiefs face several difficult roster decisions with a tough cap situation and plenty of notable players scheduled to hit free agency. Well, the defending AFC champions have already made two notable moves with the new league year approaching.
Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, the practice squad contracts of cornerback Steven Nelson and linebacker Cole Christiansen have expired. At this time, it appears neither will be back with Kansas City.
Nelson retired after spending the 2023 season with the Houston Texans, but the Kansas City Chiefs brought him back for roster depth in December. Nelson, who played for Kansas City from 2015 to 2018, never actually played a snap in 2024.
The 27-year-old Christiansen signed with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2020 and spent his first two seasons there. Christiansen spent the next three years on KC’s roster, winning Super Bowl 57 and 58 championship rings.
Christiansen appeared in a career-high nine games for the Kansas City Chiefs this season after playing just 13 total games in the previous four years. He logged two tackles in the nine games.
Kansas City Chiefs Have Several Big-Named Pending Free Agents
The big question heading into the 2025 offseason for Kansas City is Travis Kelce’s future. He signed a two-year contract extension last year, but the 35-year-old and three-time Super Bowl champion is considering retirement.
Star linebacker Nick Bolton, safety Justin Reid, guard Trey Smith, running back Kareem Hunt and wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquise Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and Mecole Hardman headline the group of pending free agents.
Chiefs GM Brett Veach is no stranger to working around a difficult salary cap situation, so there’s little reason to worry too much if you’re a Kansas City fan. They always seem to find a way.
