According to Monday’s official NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed practice squad tight end Tre Watson to a reserve/future contract. The agreement will become official at the start of the new league year on March 11.
Watson joined the Chiefs in April as an undrafted free agent. Although he has combined for 77 receptions for 872 yards over four college seasons spent between Fresno State and Texas A&M, tantalizing athletic testing numbers at the Aggies’ pro day put him on the fringes of the draft radar.
Watson was placed on Kansas City’s non-football injury list at the start of training camp for undisclosed reasons. After being activated on July 27, he appeared in all three of the team’s preseason games and caught a single pass for four yards before being waived at the final roster deadline. Watson was on the Chiefs’ practice squad for the entire season.
Presumably, the tight end will get another look over the 2026 offseason and training camp — though the Chiefs should be expected to make multiple higher-profile moves at the position.
Also on Monday, practice squad contracts officially expired for non-playoff teams. The Chiefs have thus far not signed guard Nick Brocker, wide receiver Jason Brownlee, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, defensive end Malik Herring, fullback Carson Steele and defensive tackle Marlon Tuipulotu for 2026.
After ending the season on Kansas City’s practice squad, these players are now free agents and eligible to sign with any team, including those remaining in playoff contention.
