Chiefs Snag Pyburn, Drop Lawsuit Plans | Kansas City Chiefs News

The Chiefs just pulled off a savvy move by snagging defensive end Jack Pyburn off waivers—after he was cut by Tampa Bay. Pyburn exploded in preseason, recording four sacks in just two games, catching KC’s eye as they desperately need depth on the defensive line. Earlier, he flirted with suing to return to LSU, potentially becoming the first player to play in the NFL and then go back to college—but with Kansas City offering him a shot, he’s dropped that idea. The NCAA’s new five-year eligibility rule has left gray areas, especially since the SEC already shut down that path. With key players like Omarr Norman-Lott sidelined and Ethan Downs injured, the Chiefs are clearly building around Pyburn as a reliable rotational piece—not a superstar, but a consistent contributor who could carve out a long NFL career.
