Last week, NFL reporter Adam Caplan posted on Twitter that he had a source with the Kansas City Chiefs stating the team held an interest in adding a coverage linebacker in free agency. One week later, the team has yet to make a move at the position and their options are quickly fading.
Given the lack of financial flexibility on the part of the Chiefs, no one expected general manager to go shopping in the frenzied first week, when big bucks are spent and new monetary thresholds are set for each position. However, if the Chiefs are going to sign someone then they should make a list long enough to know that maybe even the first several choices are going to be gone by the time they make a move.
