The NFL said there was insufficient evidence to find Chiefs defensive backs coach Dave Merritt in violation of the personal conduct policy, so he stays on staff. Merritt, who has overseen the secondary since 2021, will continue his duties without interruption.
The league’s personal conduct policy typically triggers disciplinary action when clear violations are proven, but this case lacked sufficient proof. Chiefs officials emphasized that the decision does not affect the team's defensive planning for the upcoming season.
Analysts view the clearance as a stabilizing factor for Kansas City’s secondary unit heading into the next campaign.
