The Kansas City Chiefs offered up their first bit of surprising news on a busy Monday with word that wide receiver Marcus Kemp, who is an exclusive rights free agent, will not be tendered a qualifying offer, per Matt Derrick.
Unlike his teammates tight end Deon Yelder and offensive lineman Andrew Wylie, who were both given qualifying offers, Kemp is now available to hit free agency just like every other unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
The Chiefs were reportedly impressed with Kemp last preseason but a knee injury sidelined him for the season.
