It's time for another update on where the Kansas City Chiefs stand in free agency. They've signed a couple of their own guys since we last had an update. 

The big move we're waiting for is CB Brandon Carr to sign his restricted free agent tender and LB Tamba Hali doing the same to his franchise tender. Neither player can practice until Aug. 4 so there's no cause for concern right now. 

The Chiefs have signed 10 undrafted free agents, eight draft picks, 10 unrestricted free agents and four restricted free agents -- a total of 32 moves not including the four players released and a couple moves to come (lookin' at you Brandon and Tamba).

Here's your update on Chiefs free agency right now:
