With NFL roster cutdowns approaching, one outlet believes Saints RB Kendre Miller and Texans WR Robert Woods could help the KC Chiefs in 2024 if released.
As NFL roster cutdowns approach, all 32 clubs are hard at work deciding who to part ways with from their own 90-man groups. Scouting out the rest of the league is equally important, however, as late-summer additions could end up assisting teams this season.be keeping an eye on? One outlet thinks a running back and wide receiver could pique the interest of the back-to-back Super Bowl champs., Alex Ballentine detailed seven players on the roster bubble who could boost other teams in 2024.
Ballentine's point about Woods being over the hill is completely valid. Now over a decade into his NFL career, he posted his lowest reception and yardage totals last season while also scoring a lone touchdown for just the second time in his career. Additionally, his 45.3% success rate was his worst since 2013 and his 5.7 yards per target mark was a personal low. Woods can help a receiving stable in 2024, but whichever team he's on has to know what he is and isn't.
Kansas City has too many cooks in the kitchen at the receiver position right now to worry about Woods. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown isthat could see him miss a regular-season game or two, but he's complemented by Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore. Possibly add in Mecole Hardman and maybe even one other player, and it's hard to see another acquisition making sense right now.
This one is more sensible than the Woods proposal. Despite joining the Saints just last year, there have been rumblings that Miller isn't a favorite of head coach Dennis Allen due to his lack of availability. The former third-round pick out of TCU played in only eight games as a rookie and has dealt with knee and ankle ailments already. His durability questions existed entering the 2023 NFL Draft, as that's what kept him out of pre-draft workouts. When on the field, though, he can help.
Miller's rookie NFL season saw him average 5.4 yards per touch, and his junior year with the Horned Frogs was excellent. He ran for 1,399 yards on 224 carries, also hauling in 16 passes for 116 yards. Given Edwards-Helaire'sIf the Saints cut ties with Miller, he'd be an interesting flier to take assuming the Chiefs were up for it.Jordan Foote is the deputy editor of Arrowhead Report on SI.com, covering the Kansas City Chiefs.
