Based on Monday’s official NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed defensive deal with Matt Dickerson. He fills the 90-man roster spot left open when running back La’Mical Perine was released on Friday.
Dickerson was released last Monday to make room for the re-signing of linebacker (and particular teamer) Cole Christiansen, whose unique rights free agent (ERFA) contract tender was withdrawn (making him a free agent) on Might 3. This was one of seven moves the team made to accommodate the signing of 17 undrafted free-agent (UDFA) players just before rookie minicamp on Might 4.
Dickerson first joined the league as a UDFA for the Tennessee Titans in 2018. After 18 video games over three seasons, he spent 2021’s offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders earlier than becoming a member of the Arizona Cardinals’ observe squad that November. In 2022, he appeared in six video games for the Atlanta F
After the Falcons allowed him to stroll in free company the next spring, Dickerson ended up with the Chiefs as a rotational participant. Though he started the 2023 season on the observe squad, he was elevated for 2 video games earlier than being activated to the roster earlier than the Week 4 recreation in opposition to the New York Jets. He appeared in a dozen Chiefs video games through the season — and even performed within the postseason’s Divisional spherical win over the Buffalo Bills.
With 91 players participating in practice (one on a roster exemption), the Chiefs’ 90-man energetic roster is once more full. We estimate that the team now has $15.0 million in cap space.
