After the Kansas City Chiefs’ unexpected 27-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Sunday’s AFC Championship, they go into the offseason with 38 players under contract.
Two of the players now signed for 2022 — offensive tackle Lucas Niang and linebacker Malik Herring — were on the Reserve/Injured and Reserve/Non-Football Injury lists as the season concluded.
Eight others — wide receivers Omar Bayless, Chris Finke, Gary Jennings and Mathew Sexton, defensive ends Lorenzo Neal Jr. and Darius Stills, tight end Jordan Franks and running back Brenden Knox — also weren’t on the 2021 roster.
