Kansas City Chiefs cut 3 players, sign 6

The Kansas City Chiefs just made nine roster transactions, cutting three players and signing six more. All six of those players are tryout players from last weekend's rookie minicamp.

The players cut: FB Ryan D'Imperio, RB Nate Eachus and DB Jose Gumbs

The players signed: DL Risean Broussard, S Greg Castillo, DE Miguel Chavis, S Justin Glenn, RB Jordan Roberts and DB James Rogers

Among the players released, Eachus is the only one who is a minor surprise but with the fullbacks acquired this offseason (via trade and the draft) it's not shocking by any means.

We don't know much about the tryout players signed. 36 of them were in the house last weekend and six of them signed. Here's the Chiefs bio on each of these guys:
