They have an exemption for franchise safety Eric Berry, who did not report to camp until last weekend, that does not expire until next weekend.

Along with a series of cuts, the Chiefs traded cornerback Marcus Cooper to Arizona and wide receiver Rod Streater to San Francisco for undisclosed draft picks. They wound up keeping fringe running back Knile Davis and wide receiver De’Anthony Thomas.
