Chiefs free-agent report: TE Richard Gordon

We’ll continue our player-by-player look at the Kansas City Chiefs’ potential unrestricted free agents with a reserve tight end who was a late-season pickup.

TE Richard Gordon

Four NFL seasons, two with the Chiefs. Played in two games for the Chiefs with one start in 2014. Turns 28 in June.

Chiefs career: Gordon was a late-season injury replacement in each of the last two years. He played in a total of four games with one catch for three yards.

Argument for keeping Gordon: He’s been signed by five teams, including the Chiefs twice. He obviously has some potential. The Chiefs, after releasing veteran Anthony Fasano, are short in experience at tight end. Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris are heading into their second seasons.

Argument for letting Gordon go: The Chiefs can do better in either the draft or free agency.

What should happen with Gordon: There's no hurry. Gordon will be available later if the Chiefs have a need.
