According to Aaron Wilson, the Chiefs are releasing QBs Shane Buechele and Chris Oladokun as they trim down to the 53-man limit.
Kansas City will continue with Blaine Gabbert as Patrick Mahomes’ primary backup.
Buechele, 25, was a two-year starter at SMU after spending three years at Texas. He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent following the 2021 NFL Draft.
Kansas City waived him coming out of the preseason and re-signed him to the practice squad. He was promoted to the roster in November and re-signed as an exclusive rights-free agent in March.
In five seasons for SMU and Texas, Buechele had a 63.1 completion percentage with 11,660 passing yards, 87 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He also had 478 rushing yards with eight touchdowns in 56 games.
He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
