The Kansas City Chiefs officially withdrew the exclusive rights tender from LB Cole Christiansen on Friday.
The Kansas City Chiefs filled numerous roster holes in the 2024 NFL draft and proceeded to sign a slew of undrafted free agents. While assessing their rookies, the Chiefs appeared to have a change of heart regarding linebacker Cole Christensen.
KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson broke the news on Friday, May 3 that Kansas City “withdrew” their tender offer for Christiansen. The move came as a surprise since the Chiefs announced they placed an exclusive rights tender on Christiansen less than a month ago.
The former Army alum, who started his NFL career with the Los Angeles Chargers, joined the Chiefs’ practice squad in 2022. He appeared in one game that season, recording his first-ever NFL tackle against the Buffalo Bills.
During the 2023 season, he was elevated to the active roster five times. However, after rookie Cam Jones hit injured reserve in January, Christensen was signed to the active roster on January 17.
He appeared in three playoff games, mostly on special teams, and recorded 2 total tackles. Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. wrote after Christensen received his tender, “With training camps approaching soon, he will have a chance to improve his stock ahead of the 2024 season.”
The 26-year-old leaves Kansas City with two Super Bowl rings. The Chiefs also released Anthony Miller, Shi Smith and Jordan Smith,” Wilson posted.
