While the 2026 Kansas City Chiefs roster has been somewhat set with 90 players and will soon dwindle down to just 53 on the active roster, plans for the 2027 squad have already been in motion by Kansas City's front office for years. Who is on the chopping block after the 2026 season for the Chiefs on defense? Drue TranquillThe 2025 season very well could have been Tranquill's last year in Kansas City had he not taken a pay cut on a reworked one-year deal in mid-March to remain on the squad. Kristian FultonKristian Fulton's time with Kansas City has been underwhelming to say the least. Either way, I don't see Fulton sniffing another contract in Kansas City next year.
