The Chiefs were penalized for violating the NFL's anti-tampering rules for having impermissible contact with wide receiver Jeremy Maclin during last year's free agency.
The Chiefs were stripped of their third-round pick this April and sixth-round pick next year and fined $250,000. Chiefs coach Andy Reid also was fined $50,000 and General Manager John Dorsey fined $25,000.
Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said the club will appeal.
