Analyst offers odd Chiefs cut candidate

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense under Steve Spagnuolo will look a little different in 2026, with the franchise moving on from star duo Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie.

Both landed with the Los Angeles Rams, and that led the Chiefs to draft LSU star Mansoor Delane in the first round to help cover the loss.

With Delane expected to start in 2026, how the corner room shapes up will be interesting to watch over the coming weeks.

And for Bleacher Report's Moe Moton, he thinks Kristian Fulton could be a cut candidate.

"Following an injury-riddled year with eight regular-season appearances, Kristian Fulton must compete for a starting job in the second term of his two-year deal," Moton wrote.

"Fulton will likely battle 2025 third-rounder Nohl Williams for a spot on the boundary opposite rookie first-rounder Mansoor Delane. If the former loses, he could be cut before his age-28 campaign."

Is it wise to cut Fulton?

For me, no.

Yes, you have Delane and Nohl Williams as the starters, but you can't expect a rookie to play all 17 games and play at a high level in their first year.

Fulton, while he might not be the player he once was, does offer depth and could help ease Delane into the rotation.

If anything, he could be an insurance policy for 2026 and be a thread to pull for Spagnuolo during the season if Delane or Nohl are struggling.

So, yes, I get the idea, but given it will be Delane's first NFL season, maybe having a veteran behind him wouldn't be the worst idea.
