- The Chiefs released tight end Gavin Escobar Saturday, only months after signing him to a one-year deal worth roughly $175,000 in guarantees.
- Escobar, a former second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, had fallen behind incumbent Ross Travis on Kansas City’s depth chart after catching only four of eight targets in 96 snaps this preseason.
- The signing of Escobar represented a bit of a projection for the Chiefs’ tight end group, as he never earned a PFF overall grade greater than 70 in his career, and his grade has decreased steadily since his rookie season of 2013.
