Chuck McGill of the Charleston Daily Mail is reporting that former Marshall tight end Cody Slate is set to sign a two year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs. The agreement is believed to be for a futures contract. Futures contracts are signed for the 2011 season, even though the upcoming season does not officially begin until March. Only players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster when the 2010 season ended are eligible for futures contracts.
Slate was signed to Kansas City’s practice squad before last weeks playoff game. Slate, cut in training camp by Kansas City, caught 4 passes for 49 yards in two preseason games with the Chiefs.
