Press Release - KC Chiefs
Office of the General Manager

The Kansas City Chiefs made one move at the trade deadline today, that they feel is the final piece to the puzzle, giving them cap space, moving players that were in the final years of the contracts with the Chiefs and, at the same time, adding youth and depth to what already is an extremely talented roster.

Gone are LOLB Tucker and MLB D.Williams. Both were traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for RE K.Hayes and also the Bucs 5th Round Draft Pick.

Tucker was acquired in 2009 from the San Diego Chargers in a 3 for 3 deal and was the last remaining of those three players on The Chiefs roster.

D.Williams has been with the team for several years and simply was beaten out in the MLB position the past couple of seasons by Derrick Johnson. We wanted both to have a chance to get in some playing time elsewhere and felt this was a good move for both the club and the players and wish them the best of success in Tampa.

In RE Hayes we get a young "70ovr" that we feel will compete at the RE position in the coming years as we build youth and depth behind our very strong starting lineup. And, of course, draft picks can always help keep the team stocked with up-and-comers to compete for positions and keep our veteren players finely tuned!

We expect Hayes to be dressed in time for Week #6.
