Chiefs Roster: Former Illinois defensive end Owen Carney signed
According to Friday’s official NFL transaction report, the Kansas City Chiefs made a roster move on Friday. The team signed former Illinois defensive end Owen Carney, making room on the roster by waiving linebacker Luquay Washington.
Carney checks in at 6 foot 3 and 275 pounds. Now 25, he first joined the league as an undrafted free agent for the Miami Dolphins in 2022, but didn’t make the regular season’s initial roster. That November, the Cincinnati Bengals signed him to their practice squad — and then to a reserve/future contract for 2023. But once again, he didn’t make the team’s regular-season roster.
Over five seasons in Illinois, Carney appeared in 55 games, recording 116 tackles (53 solo, 21.5 for loss), 16 sacks, a forced fumble and three passes defensed.
The Chiefs now have 91 players under contract, with a full complement of 90 players on its active roster. (Offensive tackle Chukwuebuka Godrick has an International Pathway Program roster exemption). We now estimate that the Chiefs have $14.1 million in cap space.
