Ian Book has been waived by the Chiefs, as part of a series of roster cuts the team is making ahead of the deadline to finalize their 53-player roster.

Ian Book was waived by the Kansas City Chiefs as part of their roster moves to reach the 53-player limit.

Ian Book has been waived by the Chiefs, creating a roster spot for the signing of JuJu Smith-Schuster. He will be available on waivers for other teams and, if not claimed, has the option to join a practice squad. His release leaves the Chiefs with three quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes, Carson Wentz, and Chris Oladokun, with uncertainty surrounding Oladokun's status for the final roster cut.

Ian Book, a quarterback with previous experience starting only one game, has been identified as a key player for the team's success this season. Payton will need to rely on Book's skills and readiness, despite his lack of experience, as the team navigates a season with high expectations and a young roster.

Ian Book joins the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback group alongside Carson Wentz and Chris Oladokun. Book has been noted for his intelligence, ability to ask great questions, and ease in picking up the offensive system.
