Chiefs quarterback Ian Book has been let go a day before final roster cutdowns.
Book has been waived, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Chiefs needed to create a roster spot to sign wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Book’s will apparently be that roster spot.
That means Book will be available on waivers if any team wants to add him to its 53-player roster. If he isn’t claimed, he can sign to a practice squad, either in Kansas City or elsewhere.
That leaves three quarterbacks in Kansas City: Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz and Chris Oladokun. It’s not known at this point whether Okadokun will make the final roster cut.
