The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs — like the remainder of the league’s groups — are going straight from the tip of the NFL Draft to negotiating with undrafted free brokers (UDFAs). They’re attempting to signal gamers who weren’t chosen through the just-completed draft.
One of many NFL’s worst-kept secrets and techniques is that groups have been talking with potential undrafted prospects since early on Saturday — even because the draft’s third day unfolded.
Each crew can have as much as 90 gamers on its offseason roster. Heading into draft weekend, the Chiefs’ roster stood at 75. After including seven drafted gamers, there may very well be as few as eight open roster spots obtainable for these undrafted signees — though some present gamers may very well be waived (or launched) within the coming days.
Beneath the collective bargaining settlement (CBA) between the NFL and the gamers’ affiliation, all UDFAs signal three-year contracts value barely lower than $3 million — the mixed minimal salaries for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 seasons. Except they make a crew’s energetic roster, most UDFAs will get little or no (if any) of this cash.
But when they’re fortunate sufficient to be in demand, they could be paid a small signing bonus. In 2025, every crew has a complete pool of $206,144 obtainable for these UDFA bonuses. Groups might also supply to ensure a few of a UDFA’s wage — though that solely hardly ever signifies roster safety; contracts can embody offsetting wage guidelines if the participant joins one other crew (or follow squad) after being minimize.
Be aware that these reported signings shouldn’t be thought-about official till the Chiefs really announce the gamers they’ve signed. That is usually executed simply earlier than the crew’s rookie minicamp, which is able to happen subsequent weekend. As well as, some gamers (or their brokers) will announce (or indicate) they’ve been signed to a contract once they’ve solely been invited to check out for a crew throughout its minicamp.
With that, let’s get to the tracker.
