Anthony Hitchens: Released by Kansas City
Hitchens was released by Kansas City on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Hitchens tallied 80 tackles (41 solo) over 15 appearances in 2021. The veteran linebacker carried a $12.6 million cap hit for 2022, so Kansas City will save $8.4 million in cap space by releasing him, per Lukas Weese of the Athletic. The 2014 fourth-round pick of the Cowboys was a consistent producer in all four of his seasons with Kansas City and figures to draw interest in free agency this offseason.

Chiefs' Anthony Hitchens: Status quo in 2021
Hitchens tallied 80 tackles (41 solo) over 15 games in 2021.
After playing 945 defensive snaps in 2018, the coaching staff made it a priority to get Hitchens some extra rest in subsequent seasons. His 568 snaps this season are his lowest total since his last season in Dallas back in 2017. While that isn't exactly a good thing from a fantasy standpoint, it does keep the veteran fresh and healthy. Hitchens has one more year remaining on the five-year deal he signed with Kansas City back in 2018.

Chiefs' Anthony Hitchens: Makes nine stops vs. Cincy
Hitchens had nine tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals.
Hitchens saw an uptick in snaps to 68 percent after having only handled 48 percent in Week 17, resulting in stable production. That said, Hitchens' lack of consistency keeps him from being a confident fantasy play in IDP formats Week 18 at Denver.

Chiefs' Anthony Hitchens: Seven stops in return to action
Hitchens notched seven tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 13-7 win over the Packers.
Hitchens returned from a two-game absence to record his highest tackle output since Week 2. On the season, the 27-year-old linebacker has totaled 39 tackles through seven appearances, but barring one double-digit tackle outing, he hasn't been a strong IDP play.
