The offseason is underway, and teams are adding players on reserve/futures contracts ahead of free agency and the NFL Draft. The Kansas City Chiefs have stacked their practice squad over the years with potential talent, but they are seeing some developing players leave for new opportunities around the league.
According to their agency, JL Sports, the New York Giants have signed former Chiefs cornerback Nic Jones and wide receiver Montrell Washington to reserve/futures contracts.
Jones played nine games for the Chiefs in 2023 and one this past season in 2024. The 6-foot, 185-pound cornerback was selected 250th overall in the seventh round of the 2023 draft because of his excellent ball skills and versatility, with snaps inside and outside on defense. He also stood out as a strong special teams performer, catching Kansas City’s attention.
Washington has spent multiple stints on the Chiefs practice squad over the last few seasons and was recently signed back to the group in January. After a standout career at Samford University, he was a fifth-round pick of the Denver Broncos in the 2022 NFL draft, earning FCS All-American honors in 2021.
