Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 9/5

Good morning, AP. It took forever, but the (for now) final roster came out last night. You'll find the list of cuts and all of the other Kansas City Chiefs news below. Expect more roster moves as the weekend continues. We'll keep you posted both here and on Twitter @ArrowheadPride.

The Chiefs announced their intentions with regard to Jarrad Page months ago when they drafted Eric Berry and Kendrick Lewis to take his place at safety.

The only thing left to be determined was a destination for Page. They found one for him Saturday when they traded him to New England for an undisclosed draft pick.

The rookie free safety sits in the Chiefs’ locker room, looking at his hands and remembering where they’ve been. He thinks of where they’ve taken him, and where they might go from here.

Kendrick Lewis points to a fleur-de-lis tattoo on his right hand, where his thumb and forefinger meet, and lowers his voice to almost a whisper.

"It represents the struggle," he says. "Everything my city has been through. How people before me have paved the way. You think about a lot of things."

In addition, hard-hitting safety Brandon McGowan was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle. To help fill the void, the Patriots acquired fifth-year safetyJarrad Page from the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed draft choice, according to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. Like McGowan, the 6-foot-, 225-pound Page is a bigger safety who could offer help in a similar hybrid-type role.

Charlie Weis is back from his whirlwind romance with Notre Dame to help Todd Haley rebuild Kansas City. The Chiefs have reassembled Bill Belichick’s Patriots staff without Belichick: Weis on offense, Romeo Crennel on defense and assistants like Otis Smith and Maurice Carthon. The results are familiar but unsatisfying, like watching the E Street Band back up Joe Grushecky.

Of the six Canadian university players to sign with NFL teams this off-season, Greenwood was the only one to make a final roster. Greenwood is one of three undrafted free agents on the Chiefs' 53-man roster, which still could undergo changes as the team scans the waiver wire.
