Chiefs Slash Five Players Post-Minicamp

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs have released five players—Skyy Moore, Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Chukwuebuka Godrick, Siaki Ika, and Kamal Hadden—following mandatory training camp, sources say, as they refine their roster for a Super Bowl LX run.

Skyy Moore, a 2022 second-round pick, struggled with seven receptions for 74 yards in 2024. Outshined by Jalen Royals’ standout camp performance, Moore’s release saves $1.3 million, per Spotrac and Arrowhead Pride.

Felix Anudike-Uzomah, a 2023 first-rounder, disappointed with two sacks over two seasons. Ashton Gillotte’s relentless pass-rushing in camp drills overshadowed him, freeing $1.8 million with his cut, according to Spotrac.

Chukwuebuka Godrick, a 2022 seventh-round tackle, remained a special teams contributor. Josh Simmons and Kingsley Suamataia’s dominance in camp left no room, saving $915,000 with Godrick’s release, per Spotrac.

Siaki Ika, signed to the practice squad in 2024, was cut before camp but briefly re-signed. Omarr Norman-Lott’s standout drills rendered Ika expendable, with no cap impact, per Chiefs Wire.

Kamal Hadden, a 2024 sixth-round cornerback, stayed on the practice squad. Nohl Williams and Miles Battle’s superior coverage skills in camp outpaced him, saving $795,000, per Spotrac.

These moves align with GM Brett Veach’s strategy, leveraging $11.2 million in cap space and eight 2026 draft picks, per Spotrac. The Chiefs’ 2024 offense averaged 28.3 points, but their defense needs bolstering. “Tough choices fuel dynasties,” Veach said, per The Athletic.
