The Kansas City Chiefs relayed another set of roster moves via the NFL transaction log on July 30, signing wide receiver Kwamie Lassiter II amid a string of training camp injuries at the position.

UFL/USFL/XFL reporter James Larsen also broke the news on X, stating: “BREAKING: The Kansas City Chiefs are signing @USFLShowboats WR Kwamie Lassiter II following his workout today, per league source. Lassiter spent this past UFL season with Memphis, totaling 257 yards & 1 TD.”

Larsen also described Lassiter as a “speedy slot WR,” noting that he was previously with the Cincinnati Bengals at the NFL level.

In order to make room for their new wide receiver signing, the Chiefs pulled the plug on the training camp battle at punter.

“The Chiefs have waived P Eddie Czaplicki per NFL transactions,” KSHB 41 beat reporter Nick Jacobs informed on Wednesday evening, relaying the corresponding move.

Before signing Lassiter, Kansas City worked out a slew of wide receivers and cornerbacks on July 30. Per Chiefs Digest reporter Matt Derrick, the players that KC took a look at were Lassiter, WR Kawaan Baker, CB Ajani Carter, CB Harrison Hand, CB Kaleb Hayes, and CB Azizi Hearn.

Lassiter is just a camp body for the moment, although there is always a chance he takes this opportunity and turns it into a practice squad role. Either way, the bigger story here is the Chiefs cutting Czaplicki.

Barring something unforeseen, this means Matt Araiza will be Kansas City’s punter for the second straight season.

Czaplicki was a highly touted UDFA who performed well this spring, so this was no walk in the park for Araiza, but at the end of the day, the Chiefs will stick with the more experienced leg.

Araiza was solid last year, and it’s hard to find a punter who can boom the football as far, but there was room for improvement. Two areas the Chiefs have talked about Araiza getting a little better at are touchbacks and pinning teams inside the 20.

Araiza can send the ball flying, but can he perfect the art of dropping a punt right inside the 10-yard line with hangtime, allowing for a teammate to pin it? How about putting more backspin and “touch” on his punts?

This should all get better with time, as Araiza is only 25 years old. Hopefully, the competition from Czaplicki made him better as he enters another season in KC.
