Claimed off waivers by Kansas City
The Chiefs have claimed Vereen off waivers, ESPN's Field Yates reports.
ANALYSIS
In a bizarre series of events, Vereen initially retired from the NFL on Monday while he was a Patriot. Then, on Tuesday, he was reinstated from New England's reserve/retirement list only to be released from the team shortly thereafter, and was subsequently thrown into the league's waiver system. Now, on Wednesday, Vereen is officially a member of the Chiefs as Kansas City had been awarded the defensive back from said waiver system, although it's unknown how many teams actually placed a claim for him. He isn't a lock to crack the Chiefs' active roster, but if he can impress in limited action, Vereen could slide in as a depth option in the Chiefs' talented secondary sans Sean Smith.

Vereen suited up in all 16 games for the Bears last season as a rookie fourth-round draft pick, collecting 39 tackles and one interception. He didn’t see high snap totals on defense until late in the season, and was often prone to showing a lack of physicality as a tackler. Those issues aren’t atypical for a first-year player, and the Bears’ new coaching staff remains confident that Vereen’s speed and ranginess will allow him to develop into a difference maker on defense. Vereen will battle incumbent Ryan Mundy for the starting strong safety job in training camp, but even if he fails to come away with the job, the 23-year-old is poised to see his snap count increase in his second season.
