The Kansas City Chiefs got their offseason started on Monday by retaining several members of their practice squad on reserve/future contracts. On Tuesday, the team brought in a pair of players from outside of the organization.
Per the NFL’s official transactions report, the Chiefs have signed wide receiver Andrew Armstrong and running back ShunDerrick Powell to Reserve/Future contracts. Armstrong and Powell were previously reported as working out for Kansas City on December 29. These agreements will become official when the league year begins on March 11 — but they rarely contain guaranteed money or offer significant roster security as other players are added through free agency and the draft.
Armstrong attended Arkansas for two seasons after beginning his college career at Texas A&M Commerce. He caught 78 passes for 1,140 yards during his final year with the Razorbacks before measuring 6-4 and running a 4.5 second 40-yard dash time at Arkansas’ Pro Day. Armstrong signed with the Miami Dolphins in April as an undrafted free agent. He was briefly on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad after being waived in Miami’s final roster cuts.
Powell played at Central Arkansas. He visited Kansas City before the 2025 NFL Draft, and we profiled him here. He signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in undrafted free agency, but he did not make the squad.
The Chiefs on Tuesday also worked out edge rusher Warren Peeples. He went to training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last summer after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Division III Southeastern Louisiana.
