The Kansas City Chiefs and Atlanta Falcons agreed to a buzz-beater trade just before this afternoon’s deadline.
Now-former Chiefs cornerback Rashad Fenton is on his way to Atlanta. The veteran DB was recently replaced in the Kansas City starting lineup.
Fenton was in his fourth season with the Chiefs after he was selected with a fourth-round pick in 2019. Through five games this season, he collected 24 tackles and two passes defended. Rookie fourth-round pick Joshua Williams had surpassed him in playing time by the time this trade went down.
The Chiefs received a conditional seventh-round pick in exchange for Fenton. They also cleared $1.4 million in cap space, per NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.
Fenton will now slot into an Atlanta depth chart featuring current starting corners A.J. Terrell and Darren Hall.
