When players took the field on Friday, a new face was in the fold as he joined his teammates for morning work., the back-to-back Super Bowl champs have signed defensive end/outside linebacker Owen Carney. In a corresponding move to make roster space for Carney, the club waived linebacker Luquay Washington.
For Carney, this is a new opportunity following brief stints with the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals. Once the former Illinois standout wrapped up his collegiate career, he latched on with Miami and spent time in their rookie minicamp and offseason program. Failing to make their 53-man roster to open the season, he later ended up with Cincinnati on a reserve/futures contract ahead of the 2023 campaign. The Bengals waived him in late August.
Now, the 25-year-old is looking to stick in Kansas City and make an impact on the Chiefs' 91-man roster. In his five-year collegiate career with the Fighting Illini, he recorded 116 tackles with 16 sacks and three passes broken up. His 6.5-sack senior campaign was enough to earn All-Big Ten honorable mention after he started every game at outside linebacker.

So when they offered me the contract to play, it was the best feeling in the world.”
