From the moment Khalen Saunders was made available to interested teams after his release from the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this week, most of Chiefs Kingdom has been waiting and watching for the outcome—to learn where the defensive tackle would land next. On Friday, it was made official that the lineman had cleared waivers.
The Jaguars released Saunders on Thursday, an admission that they weren't going to change their mind about leaving him as a healthy inactive on game days. Saunders was the return on a preseason trade that sent offensive lineman Luke Fortner to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for the veteran defensive tackle.
