The Facts: NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported that the Kansas City Chiefs will release Fasano on Thursday, per a source close to the player.
Diehards Line:Chalk it up as a salary cap move after Fasano was on tap to make $2.8 million next season. He finishes his two-year run in Kansas City with 48 catches for 426 yards and seven touchdowns over 26 appearances. The Chiefs will save $1.96 million with the move. Fasano, 30, hopes to continue his career. The Chiefs will now build their tight end group around Travis Kelce, with Demetrius Harris and Richard Gordon getting looks alongside whatever talent is added through the draft and free agency.
