Ex-Chiefs’ Deneric Prince & Kamal Hadden Sign With New Teams.
The Kansas City Chiefs had a few players leave the organization after they were cut at the 53-man deadline — although it’s unclear if KC offered them a practice squad spot or not.
The first big-name departure was rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit, who finalized a signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad on August 29. But there were other notable players missing from the initial Chiefs practice squad after waiver claims cleared on Wednesday.
Quite possibly the two biggest head-scratchers being second-year running back Deneric Prince and cornerback draft pick Kamal Hadden.
Although there was no official word on Prince or Hadden early on, p-squad deals for Keaontay Ingram and Emani Bailey (now released) at running back and Keith Taylor and eventually Nic Jones at cornerback signaled that both were unlikely to return. The next questions being where they would end up? And what caused them to exit stage right?
The latter will have to wait as the Chiefs are typically hush-hush about this sort of stuff, but the answer to question number one was revealed on August 30 when Prince signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins practice squad and Hadden latched on with the Green Bay Packers at the same level.
KPRC 2 NFL insider Aaron Wilson reported Hadden’s practice squad deal, while Prince’s was announced by the Dolphins themselves.
