With the 2024 season behind us, here’s where Kansas City’s roster stands going into the offseason.
After the Kansas City Chiefs’ 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, they have 49 players under contract.
All of these players were on the teams’s final 2024 active roster or reserve lists and remain under contract for the coming season.
All of these players have been signed to Reserve/Future contracts for the 2025 season, meaning they will be on the team’s 90-man roster when the new league year begins at 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time on Wednesday, March 12. The players marked with an asterisk (*) were on the team’s practice squad when the season ended.

When the season concluded, all of these players were on the team’s active roster (or Reserve/Injured list). Their contracts, however, will expire on the first day of the new league year. These players fall into three categories based on the amount of time they have in the league.
These players have fewer than three accrued seasons in the league. The Chiefs can retain their rights for 2025 by tendering them a one-year NFL minimum contract for the coming season. Most ERFA players are offered (and sign) these contracts.
These players have accumulated three accrued seasons in the league. While these players can negotiate and sign with any team, the Chiefs team can offer them a contract tender that comes with the right of first refusal and/or draft-pick compensation should they sign elsewhere.
