An undrafted free agent is joining a rival squad after originally agreeing to terms with the Los Angeles Chargers.
However, Washington will no longer be joining the Chargers after all, since he will instead sign a deal with the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs , perThis means the Chargers are down to 20 undrafted free agents , which is still plenty since they also drafted nine players and have to narrow their roster to 53 players by the regular season.
There also is no guarantee that Washington would have made the roster if he had stayed with the Chargers. While draft picks have a strong chance at making the roster their rookie season, it's a lot tougher of a path for undrafted free agents. Unless they make a strong impression in training camp, these free agents often end up on the practice squad or bouncing around the league.
If Washington does make the Chiefs' roster, he'll end up facing the team he almost signed with twice a year as a division foe. The Chiefs have been the most dominant team in the league over the last five years, and Washington will get a shot on teaming up with the NFL's current dynasty.Chargers News: Trojans RB Reacts to Potentially Being Drafted by Bolts
