The Chiefs got high marks from me for keeping edge-rusher Justin Houston and signing receiver Jeremy Maclin. But that’s not the whole of free agency as they let center and best offensive lineman Rodney Hudson and underrated tight end Anthony out the door. I would have given the Chiefs an A if they kept Hudson, who’s a better center than Maclin is a receiver.

Brought in:

• Chiefs sign WR Jeremy Maclin
• Chiefs sign S Tyvon Branch
• Chiefs sign G Paul Fanaika

Kept:

• DE/OLB Justin Houston
• S Ron Parker
• TE Richard Gordon
• ILB Josh Mauga
• S Kelcie McCray
• WR Jason Avant

Free Agency Period Trade:

• 5th-round pick to New Orleans Saints for G Ben Grubbs

Lost:

• C Rodney Hudson
• S Kurt Coleman
• DE/DT Vance Walker
• TE Anthony Fasano

Grade: B

Next: Denver Broncos
