It's a difficult time of year for the Kansas City Chiefs, as it is with every NFL franchise, with active roster cuts due by the league's mandated deadline of Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. C.T.
For front offices, the frenzy before roster cuts forces tough decisions as to how many players to keep at various positions, which will undoubtedly leave talented players on the outside looking in. It's balancing long-term value with short-term goals all while keeping the roster balanced, the coaches happy, and the salary cap followed.
It's especially rough on players, considering hundreds and hundreds of them will be made free agents in a matter of hours.
