One thing about having so many young players is that the list of potential free agents isn't long. So it is with the Chiefs. They are scheduled to have only six unrestricted free agents. They are:

DE Jason Babin
LB Rocky Boiman
S Oliver Celestin
OL Adrian Jones
S Jon McGraw
LB Pat Thomas

None would probably figure in the Chiefs' long-term plans. Players unrestricted are free to sign with any team once free agency begins on February 27.

The Chiefs also would have three restricted free agents:

C Rudy Niswanger
S Jarrad Page
WR Jeff Webb

Page and possibly Niswanger would be worth re-signing. The Chiefs would hold the right of first refusal on these players as long as they are extended a minimum one-year contract offer.
