General Manager Brett Veach has been grinding away, determined to fortify his team for a shot at clinching the Super Bowl trophy for the third consecutive year. As the crucial deadline for roster cuts loomed on the horizon, Veach surprised many by bolstering the squad with a notable addition.
In a bold move on Monday night, the Arizona Cardinals opted to trade linebacker Cam Thomas to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a lowly seventh-round pick. Speculation suggests that the Cardinals had earmarked Thomas for the chopping block, providing the Chiefs with an opportune moment to swoop in and make the acquisition.
Hailing from San Diego State, Thomas was selected in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Cardinals. During his rookie season, he made appearances in 17 games before earning three starts in 15 games the following year. Despite being under contract with the Cardinals until 2025, the Chiefs see Thomas as a budget-friendly option to deepen Andy Reid’s squad as they gear up to maintain their status as the team to beat.
As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up to clash with the Baltimore Ravens at Arrowhead Stadium in a highly anticipated rematch of last season’s AFC Championship Game, the NFL season is poised to kick off in thrilling fashion. However, before the action commences, all NFL franchises must finalize their 53-man rosters by the August 27 deadline, a pivotal moment that will shape the landscape of the upcoming season.
