NFL News: Chiefs cut another player who celebrated Super Bowl wins with Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid

The Kansas City Chiefs freed up an active roster spot at the 2024 NFL trade deadline by releasing a player who was part of two Super Bowl wins with Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have seen many members of their Super Bowl victories leave the Kansas City Chiefs this year. Most of these departures came before the 2024 NFL season opener, but the team added another exit halfway through the campaign.

On Tuesday, November 5—the same day of the 2024 NFL trade deadline—the Chiefs released linebacker Cole Christiansen. The move was mentioned on the daily report of league transactions on the NFL’s official website.

Christiansen, 27, joined the Chiefs in 2022 after two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers, who signed him as an undrafted free agent in 2020. Though he spent most of his time in Kansas City on the practice squad, the Virginia native got to make 12 regular season appearances with the team, six of them in the 2024 NFL season.

Reid promoted Christiansen from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on September 18 ahead of Week 3, with the 27-year-old playing 62% of the special teams snaps since then.
