STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Demercado waived; Chiefs prefer youth over veteran pass-blocking depth.

Veteran running back waived by Chiefs despite being a pass-blocking specialist; Kansas City prioritized protecting Patrick Mahomes through younger options (Emmett Johnson and Brashard Smith) rather than retaining Demercado's veteran pass-blocking experience; claimed by Dallas Cowboys on waiver wire.
