According to the NFL’s daily transaction wire, Kansas City has signed receiver Jimmy Holiday, linebacker Cooper McDonald, and defensive back Major Williams.
Carson-Newman University previously announced Williams had signed with the Chiefs on Monday.
All three participated in Kansas City’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis over the weekend.
As corresponding moves, the Chiefs waived defensive back Will Brooks and receiver Justin Lockhart. Lockhart was waived with an injury designation.
The Chiefs also placed BJ Thompson on the reserve/non-football illness list after he cleared waivers.

The Kansas City Chiefs signed two more undrafted free agents on Tuesday after they were impressed by what the prospects showed during tryouts at rookie minicamp last week.
First, Kansas City agreed to a contract with former Louisiana Tech wide receiver Jimmy Holiday, who racked up 913 yards and five touchdowns over the course of his five-year college career.
Next, the Chiefs signed former Texas Christian University Horned Frogs linebacker Cooper McDonald, an experienced defender who tallied 137 combined tackles and eight sacks as a collegian.
News of Kansas City’s decision to sign Holiday and McDonald was first reported by Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com in two separate posts to Twitter on Tuesday:
Though it would be a surprise if Holiday or McDonald were to make Kansas City’s 53-man roster after training camp, fans should keep their eyes on both players as the Chiefs look ahead to the long part of the offseason.
