Chiefs cut Super Bowl RB
The Kansas City Chiefs released a Super Bowl-winning running back who was due $4.3 million [https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/cut-ties-isiah-pacheco-4-3-million/], signaling a roster shakeup.
The Chiefs released Ronald Jones, who had been poised to earn $4.3 million, after a disappointing season. Jones only played sparingly in the Super Bowl-winning season, rushing for just 70 yards. This limited role made him expendable given his salary. This move signals the Chiefs' confidence in Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon, who are both younger and cheaper options at running back. The Chiefs saved valuable cap space by cutting Jones, giving them more flexibility to address other needs in free agency and the draft.
