Dickerson entered the NFL in 2018 as an undrafted free agent with the Tennessee Titans, getting sporadic playing time.
In three seasons with the Titans, Dickerson played in 18 games, logging 15 tackles and one tackle for loss.
After his stint with the Titans, Dickerson moved to the Atlanta Falcons where he appeared in six games, logging 12 tackles and one tackle for loss.
Dickerson spent 2023 with the Chiefs, playing in 12 games for the squad.
He logged a career-high 15 tackles and added on the third tackle for loss of his career.
Dickerson was cut to make room for linebacker Cole Christiansen.
Christianson was originally tendered by the Chiefs as an exclusive rights free agent, but the tender was withdrawn.
He was instead resigned by the team at the expense of Dickerson.
Christiansen started his career in 2020 with the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent.
In two years with the Chargers, Christianson only played in seven games and registered three tackles.
After moving to the Chiefs in 2022, he has only played in six games, registering a single tackle.
The Chiefs are having a busy offseason, working hard on adding depth to their offense.
They traded up in the NFL Draft to select wide receiver Xavier Worthy.
The Chiefs also added quarterback Carson Wentz as a backup and resigned running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
They also added wide receiver Marquise Brown as an offensive weapon for Patrick Mahomes.
The team will be attempting to become the first squad in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row this season.
