Trades
Unrestricted free agents (UFAs) (12)
These players with expired contracts have four or more accrued NFL seasons — or did not receive a tender for restricted or exclusive rights free agency. All are free to negotiate and sign with any team. Some will be re-signed to new Chiefs contracts. Others will be allowed to seek better deals with other teams — and if history is any guide, some of them will later be re-signed if they are unable to find work elsewhere. And some will never again wear a Kansas City uniform.

As it now stands, Kansas City will have eight picks in the 2025 NFL Draft, which will be held in Green Bay April 24-26.
Round 1, Pick 31

Round 3, Pick 95
Round 4, Pick 133

Cap space
With these 65 players under contract (and including the NFL’s salary cap increase to $279.2 million), we currently estimate the team is between $3.5 million and $7.6 million (likely $5.6 million) under the salary cap.
As always, our Chiefs roster page — available under the Sections tab on any Arrowhead Pride page — has the up-to-date team roster and salary cap information. As the offseason progresses, be sure to check it often.
