The Buccaneers released Darwin Thompson.

Thompson couldn't work his way into a role in the Tampa Bay offense, and the team is going in another direction to start the postseason. Thompson shouldn't have much trouble finding a new squad.

The Buccaneers signed Darwin Thompson to the practice squad.

The former Chiefs running back joins the defending champs, and perhaps he's in a good spot to learn from veteran Giovani Bernard. Thompson is someone to watch in dynasty leagues with an eye toward 2022.

The Chiefs waived Darwin Thompson.

Jerick McKinnon being added to the backfield mix this offseason hurt Thompson's chances of making the active roster. Thompson will now hit waivers.

The Chiefs have selected Utah State running back Darwin Thompson in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Thompson is a smaller back at five-foot-eight, but this is certainly an exciting landing spot with Andy Reid getting his hands on him. In his lone season at Utah State, Thompson was a 1,000-yard runner, and he also showed well in the passing game with 15.3 yards per reception on 23 grabs. He isn't currently on the redraft radar, but savvy dynasty owners should keep tabs on Thompson.
