On Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs waived defensive lineman Siaki Ika and made a corresponding move, signing tight end Kevin Foelsch.
The moves were officially announced on the teamâs transaction log. Ika was a 2023 third-round pick out of Baylor for the Cleveland Browns. He played in four games for Cleveland before being released ahead of the 2024 season. He spent time on the practice squads of the Browns and the Philadelphia Eagles before joining the Chiefsâ practice squad in December and signing a Reserve/Futures contract following the Super Bowl.
Kansas City added Foelsch, a young tight end on the Eagles and Carolina Panthers practice squads, in 2024. He was an undrafted free agent who has yet to find his stride in the league after a standout college career at the University of New Haven. He will be in tough competition for a potential spot on the final 53-man roster in a loaded tight end room.
The Chiefs begin mandatory minicamp from June 17-19.
