The Chiefs (Almost) Fill Up their Practice Squad

The nearly full list, courtesy of the mothership.

S Dowayne Davis
DE Jason Parker
WR Marques Hagans
G Edwin Harrison
DT Derek Lokey
WR Kevin McMahan
LB Aden Durde

Dowayne Davis, an undrafted free agent who signed with Dallas and was just cut, and wide receiver Marques Hagans are new to the team.

Since Durde doesn't count towards the eight player limit, the Kansas City Chiefs still need to add two more players. That may happen in the coming minutes as they update their web site roster.

NFL.com reported that the Chiefs also tried to claim center Andy Alleman but he was awarded to the Miami Dolphins.

A bit more about Dowayne Davis and Marques Hagans is after the jump.

**UPDATE** Adam Teicher at the Red Zone speculates that the last two spots on the practice squad could go to WR Scott Mayle and LB Weston Dacus.

Above are some clips of Dowayne Davis and here is a bit of info on WR Marques Hagans, who was a Rams 5th round pick in 2006.

Hmm...

I’m surprised that Weston Dacus isn’t on the squad.

Maybe he didn't clear waivers?

True

That kinda stinks… I think he should have been on in the 53.

Clearing waivers?

How does the process of clearing waivers work? I know that the team who picks up a waived player assumes the contract terms of the originating team who signed them. But do these released players go through a bypass system of teams similiar to an order of draft selection?

There is a ranking

based on win/loss ratio of the previous season. Hence, that is why Miami got that center before we did.

It's based on the 2007 record

Up until the third week of the season. Thus, until week three, the Dolphins will have the first shot, then the Rams, Falcons, Raiders, Chiefs, etc.

However, at week three it switches to current records of that season. So by week 4 of this season, the waiver wire will be determined by each team’s current record.

How long?

Typically how long is a player exposed before he would be considered cleared from waivers?

I think

it is 24 hours.

As far as I know, any team can claim any player that is cut by another team. However, if more than one team claims the same player off of waivers, the team with the lesser record from the year before is awarded that player (which is why the Dolphins got Alleman over us).
