Overview
- McCalister’s signing is listed on the NFL transaction wire, confirming a reserve/future contract with Kansas City.
- He will be added to the Chiefs’ 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins in March.
- The 26-year-old entered the NFL as a 2023 undrafted free agent, appearing in three games for the Browns and contributing on special teams for Denver in 2024.
- He finished the 2025 regular season on Kansas City’s practice squad before a release and a postseason stint on the Broncos’ practice squad, which expired after the playoffs.
- Kansas City’s cap crunch and expected departures in the secondary make low-cost depth additions like McCalister a practical roster-building step.
