Chiefs Receive Roster Exemption for International Player
Trading Within the AFC
Asking Prices on the Rise
The NFL has approved the Kansas City Chiefs' request for an international player roster exemption. The Chiefs are the first team to receive this exemption this season. The player who will fill the roster spot has not yet been announced.
Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke to reporters on Wednesday about the team's recent trades within the AFC. Veach said that the Chiefs have been active in trade talks with other AFC teams, but that asking prices have been "a tick higher" than usual.
Veach did not provide any specifics about which players the Chiefs have discussed in trade talks. However, he did say that the Chiefs are looking to add depth to their roster, particularly on the offensive line.
The Chiefs have a number of players who could potentially be traded, including wide receiver Tyreek Hill and safety Tyrann Mathieu. Hill is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL, but he has also been the subject of trade rumors in recent months.
Mathieu is a key member of the Chiefs' defense, but he is entering the final year of his contract. The Chiefs could trade Mathieu if they are unable to reach a contract extension with him.
The Chiefs are scheduled to open the regular season on September 12th against the Arizona Cardinals.
