The ex-Packers first-rounder seeks redemption after Jaguars release, offering Kansas City depth and versatility in the secondary.'\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A 2019 first-round pick, Savage spent five seasons with Green Bay before departing in 2024. He joined Jacksonville last year, logging starter snaps in the secondary and contributing on special teams before his release earlier this week. A move to Kansas City offers a fresh look for a versatile defensive back whose range and closing speed fit the league\u2019s trend toward multi-role safeties.<br \/>\nIn a brief statement, Savage underscored his mindset about the change:\u00a0<strong>\u201cTHE JAGUARS GAVE UP ON ME, BUT THE CHIEFS SAW MY VALUE RIGHT AWAY. THAT\u2019S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TEAM THAT DOUBTS YOU AND A TEAM THAT BUILDS CHAMPIONS. TODAY I\u2019M PROUD TO WEAR THE RED AND GOLD.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the Chiefs, a practice-squad agreement provides cost-controlled depth and flexibility as the secondary navigates early-season injuries and matchup-specific plans. Under standard rules, a veteran on the practice squad can be elevated up to three times to the active roster for game day without immediately requiring a full 53-man contract. If Savage practices well, a promotion becomes a straightforward next step; if not, Kansas City retains roster and cap agility.<\/p>\n<p>Savage is expected to complete his physical and finalize paperwork in the coming days.
