The Chiefs opened the day with five quarterbacks on their roster, but they’re down to three after the cut to 53 players.
In addition to the previously reported departure of Aaron Murray, the Chiefs have also cut 2016 fifth-round pick Kevin Hogan. That leaves Tyler Bray and Nick Foles behind starter Alex Smith.
Kansas City also traded wide receiver Rod Streater to the 49ers for an undisclosed pick. They traded cornerback Marcus Cooper to the Cardinals on Friday for another pick.
Another previously reported move confirmed by the Chiefs was the release of safety Jeron Johnson. The rest of the cuts are linebacker Tyrell Adams, wide receiver Da’Ron Brown, cornerback Deveron Carr, defensive back Jamell Fleming, offensive lineman Reid Fragel, wide receiver Frankie Hammond Jr., defensive lineman David King, linebacker Andy Mulumba, center Daniel Munyer, tight end Brian Parker, offensive lineman Jarrod Pughsley, safety Shak Randolph, running back Darrin Reaves, linebacker Terrance Smith, defensive lineman Jimmy Staten, tackle Zach Sterup and defensive back Brock Vereen.
