Summary
Andy Reid told Chiefs players final roster cuts are among the hardest days of the year after Kansas City finished preseason Friday with a 9-9 tie against Seattle.
All 32 NFL teams must cut offseason rosters from 90 players to the regular-season limit of 53 by Sunday at 5 p.m. CT, forcing Kansas City to make 37 moves.
Reid said the camp competition helped clarify difficult decisions for general manager Brett Veach and his staff after players pushed through training camp and preseason games.
Players released this weekend may have improved their chances elsewhere, with Reid noting their preseason tape gives other teams a chance to evaluate them.
