The Kansas City Chiefs signed WR Kenny Cook, DE Dominique Davis, LB Cameron Gordon, FS Jordan Kovacs, FB Trey Millard and DT Alameda Ta'amu to Reserve/Futures deals Tuesday, Jan. 5.
| Footballguys view: Cook was on and off the Chiefs practice squad a few times this year. Coming out of Gardner-Webb undrafted in 2015, Cook is a big target who can play above the rim. In ridiculously deep dynasty leagues, we're keeping an eye on him. |

Cardinals | Two candidates at PUP list Mon Jul 21, 01:41 PM
Arizona Cardinals DT Alameda Ta'amu (knee) and FS Tyrann Mathieu (knee) are candidates to be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list at the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Ta'amu has struggled with injuries during his pro career. If healthy, he can eat up space in the middle of the defensive line. Mathieu is one of the best young free safeties in the game today. The team will be quite cautious with him as he comes back from this knee injury. |
