Murray (6-3, 334) originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Kansas City in 2008. He saw action in 22 games (eight starts) at New Mexico State, registering 48 tackles (14 solo), 4.0 sacks (-11.0 yards) and 7.0 tackles for loss. He began his collegiate career at Long Beach City College after a standout prep career at Long Beach Poly High School.

Saint-Dic (6-0, 253) joined the Chiefs as a rookie free agent out of Michigan State in 2008.

The Port-te-Prince, Haiti native led the Big Ten Conference with eight forced fumbles as a senior in 2008 to go with 47 tackles (22 solo) and 10.0 sacks (-75.0 yards).

Shackleford (6-5, 365) entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick (190th overall) of St. Louis in 2007 before joining the Chiefs this offseason.
