Chiefs CB Deandre Baker signs ERFA tender; team places WR on injured reserve

According to the NFL transactions report, the Kansas City Chiefs have had a couple of minor roster moves.

One was that cornerback Deandre Baker signed his exclusive rights free agent (ERFA) contract tender. Since Baker was a player with fewer than three accrued seasons when his contract expired at the end of the 2021 league year, Kansas City was able to retain its rights to him by offering him a minimum-salary contract before 2022’s league year began. Because the team has all the leverage in ERFA transactions, players almost always sign these tenders; it’s essentially a formality.
