Buggs was made inactive for the game, something that he said was a \u201csurprise\u201d after he started 13 games for the Lions in 2022. Biggs made several cryptic Tweets suggesting that \u201crelationships\u201d and \u201csituations\u201d change.<\/p>\n<p>According to a USA Today report from early September, Buggs thought the Lions were in on him starting in 2023. He also offered a questionable explanation for his actions on social media following his being made inactive for Week 1:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou thinking they\u2019re all in with you, and then, \u2018Boom.\u2019 With a snap of your finger, it\u2019s like that. Like I said, I\u2019ve always been a team player, I\u2019ve always been a role player. Whatever they have for me, that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do.\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Buggs also downplayed the ambiguously ominous social media posts that sent Lions fans agog over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s nothing to address, to be honest,\u201d Buggs said. \u201cIt\u2019s nothing to address. Like I say, things change, relationships change. There\u2019s nothing to address, honestly,\u201d Buggs said. \u201cI\u2019m just saying in life, period. It\u2019s nothing dealing with football. It\u2019s nothing dealing with here (the Lions). I\u2019m just saying, so I don\u2019t want anybody to take that context and run with it. But at the same time, relationships do change. That\u2019s all I\u2019m going to say, it\u2019s nothing else to say about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Kansas City Chiefs are taking a risk with this late-season signing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After three starts and a bunch of healthy scratches, Buggs is no longer with the NFC North Champion Lions. That\u2019s a curious outcome after signing a multi-year deal before the season, especially considering he was projected to start for the Lions before the regular season started.<\/p>\n<p>That background is why adding him to the Chiefs is a little confusing now. The Chiefs have had plenty of emotional outbursts this season on the field and after games. Adding another player with a chip on their shoulder before the playoffs is a risky move by head coach Andy Reid.<\/p>\n<p>Does Buggs have the talent to make up for it in Kansas City?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kansas City Chiefs made a questionable signing at defensive tackle Thursday.
