Chiefs' Leon McQuay III: Signs contract with KC
McQuay signed a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Friday, according to the league's official transaction log.
McQuay didn't appear in any regular-season games for Kansas City in 2018, but he did spend time on the team's practice squad. He'll now get an offseason to carve out a role in the secondary that has defensive backs Ron Parker, Steven Nelson and Orlando Scandrick set to become unrestricted free agents.

Chiefs' Leon McQuay III: Promoted by Chiefs
McQuay was promoted to the Chiefs' 53-man roster Saturday.
McQuay failed to make the Chiefs' final roster prior to the season kicking off and reverted to their practice squad. His addition to the active roster is likely due to starting strong safety Eric Berry (heel) being doubtful for Week 6 and backup Eric Murray (lower leg) being ruled out. McQuay will presumably back up Josh Shaw heading into Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
