NFL Draft: Chiefs’ 2025 undrafted free agent tracker

The Kansas City Chiefs — like the rest of the league’s teams — are going straight from the end of the NFL Draft to negotiating with undrafted free agents (UDFAs). They’re trying to sign players who weren’t chosen during the just-completed draft.

One of the NFL’s worst-kept secrets is that teams have been speaking with potential undrafted prospects since early on Saturday — even as the draft’s third day unfolded.

Every team can have up to 90 players on its offseason roster. Heading into draft weekend, the Chiefs’ roster stood at 75. After adding seven drafted players, there could be as few as eight open roster spots available for these undrafted signees — although some existing players could be waived (or released) in the coming days.

Under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the NFL and the players’ association, all UDFAs sign three-year contracts worth slightly less than $3 million — the combined minimum salaries for the 2025, 2026 and 2027 seasons. Unless they make a team’s active roster, most UDFAs will get very little (if any) of this money.

But if they’re lucky enough to be in demand, they might be paid a small signing bonus. In 2025, each team has a total pool of $206,144 available for these UDFA bonuses. Teams may also offer to guarantee some of a UDFA’s salary — although that only rarely signifies roster security; contracts can include offsetting salary rules if the player joins another team (or practice squad) after being cut.

Note that these reported signings should not be considered official until the Chiefs actually announce the players they have signed. This is typically done just before the team’s rookie minicamp, which will take place next weekend. In addition, some players (or their agents) will announce (or imply) they’ve been signed to a contract when they’ve only been invited to try out for a team during its minicamp.

With that, let’s get to the tracker.
