Earlier this offseason, veteran linebacker Martrell Spaight signed a reserve/futures contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a way for the team to secure some competition at linebacker before free agency began and gave Spaight a new home to focus on making the active roster. After a few months, Spaight has instead decided to call it a career in the NFL after four years in the league, per Dov Kleiman.
Spaight entered the NFL with the Washington Redskins who selected him in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft after making first-team All-SEC at Arkansas in 2014.
