Dameon Pierce Joins Chiefs After Turning Down Multiple Offers
Dameon Pierce’s moment has arrived, and it’s with the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran running back officially joined the 53-man roster on Saturday, making the journey with the team to Tennessee for their upcoming matchup. The game is set to kick off at 12 p.m. CT, broadcast on CBS and KCTV, as well as on 96.5 The Fan.
A Surprising Turn in Free Agency
Pierce, a 5-foot-10, 215-pound powerhouse, enters his fourth NFL season after a notable career at the University of Florida. Despite receiving practice-squad offers from five other teams, he ultimately chose to sign with the Chiefs on November 24. His decision is a testament to the appeal of Kansas City’s dynamic offense and the opportunity to contribute to a championship-caliber team.
Roster Adjustments
In order to accommodate Pierce on the roster, Kansas City made a strategic move by waiving running back Elijah Mitchell. This decision reflects the team’s commitment to bolstering their backfield as they aim for continued success in the competitive landscape of the NFL.
As Pierce gears up for his debut with the Chiefs, all eyes will be on how he integrates into the team’s game plan against the Tennessee Titans. His experience and skill set could be pivotal as Kansas City looks to maintain momentum in their season.
