12 Chiefs Who Will Be Cut By Tuesday's Roster Deadline

11. Ian Book, QB

The Kansas City Chiefs not only have arguably the best quarterback in the NFL in Patrick Mahomes (okay, it's not arguable, he's the best) but he's also one of the more durable. He rarely misses starts, unless the division is already wrapped up, and has even found ways to play through incredibly painful injuries - including when he toughed out a high ankle sprain during a Super Bowl run.

That's why it's not likely the Chiefs keep three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. With Carson Wentz behind him, they have their two guys set. Sure, Wentz isn't the same player we saw nearly win the 2017 NFL MVP but he's a trusted backup who can keep the offense moving.

With those two securing their spots, that means Ian Book and Chris Oladokun are both likely to be cut. Book, a former Notre Dame star, was taken in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by Sean Payton of the New Orleans Saints. Payton believed he could be developed into a starter, even putting him in one game as a rookie.

New Orleans lost Book's lone start and he threw just 135 yards with no touchdowns and two picks. When Payton left, Book's tenure ended and he's bounced around the NFL. He could still find a way to the practice squad and his two-touchdown performance against Chicago could help. But Oladukon has been with Kansas City since 2022 meaning he has the edge there and Book could be looking for a new home once again.
