Johnson is a seventh-round pick that was looking to crack the safety rotation after spending 2022 on special teams. He recorded 96 special teams snaps and finished the year with six total special teams tackles, which tied for the team-lead, per Pro Football Focus. Moore is an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina State and was trying to crack the Chiefs' linebacker rotation.
