J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsThe Kansas City Chiefs have released linebacker
Justin Houston, as originally reported by ESPN¡¯s Adam Schefter.The Chiefs
confirmed the report by way of their official Twitter account.News that the
Chiefs were shopping the 30-year-old linebacker broke at the NFL¡¯s Scouting
Combine late last month, and Chiefs general manager Brett Veach addressed those
rumors during his media
opportunity.¡°Obviously
Cameron
Erving Jersey , I¡¯ve seen it myself out there,¡± Veach said at the time.
¡°Justin Houston¡¯s a great player and our deal is to acquire and maintain as many
great players as you can. I think this time of year, I¡¯m no different than any
GM standing on the podium. There¡¯s 32 teams here. Every coach is here, every
personnel member is here and we¡¯re staying in the same hotel, so there is a lot
of dialogue. I think right now we¡¯re in the process of just collecting
information and working with what we have and kind of leave here and get
together again and discuss and see what we can do to make our team
better.¡±Houston still had two years left on his contract with the
Chiefs
Reggie
Ragland Jersey , but the fact that he held the largest 2019 cap number on
the team made him expendable (OverTheCap). The number was so high that it also
made Houston untradeable.As a result of Houston¡¯s release, the Chiefs save $14
million worth of cap space in 2019. The Chiefs originally drafted Houston with
their third-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. He compiled 381 tackles (317) and
78.5 total sacks (fourth in Chiefs franchise history) during his career with the
Chiefs, highlighted by a 22.0-sack 2014 season. The Kansas City Chiefs have
released their inactive list for the season finale against the Oakland Raiders
at Arrowhead Stadium.The biggest name, of course, is Chiefs safety Eric Berry.On
Friday
Jarvis
Jenkins Jersey , Berry suffered a flare-up of the foot injury he has been
fighting all season.He was held out of Friday¡¯s practice and listed as
questionable for the game against the Raiders.Otherwise, not a lot of surprises
in this list.Sammy Watkins had been listed as out in the final injury report on
Friday.Along with Berry, Spencer Ware was also listed as questionable, so it¡¯s
not a big surprise that he will not play.But two other players listed as
questionable on Friday ¡ª Kendall Fuller and Darrel Williams ¡ª will be available
on Sunday.Kahlil McKenzie, Jimmy
Murray
Daniel
Sorensen Jersey , Deon Yelder and Tanoh Kpassagnon are all healthy
scratches.This also means that Ron Parker ¡ª a healthy scratch from last week ¡ª
will be available against the Raiders.Here¡¯s the official inactive list from the
Raiders for the season finale.
