The Kansas City Chiefs were looking at a significant number of quarterbacks in training camp this offseason given the number of signings by Brett Veach after this year’s draft. However, the ranks have gotten just a bit thinner with word that the Chiefs will release quarterback T.J. Linta with an injury settlement, per NFL reporter Adam Caplan.
Linta was brought in immediately after the draft for rookie minicamp and was a priority free agent signing for the Chiefs—one of several impressive players to make up one of the league’s most heralded undrafted hauls. Unfortunately for Linta, the competition was already going to be fierce given the presence of holdover Chase Litton, an undrafted free agent quarterback from Marshall from last spring, as well as other new arrivals like Princeton’s John Lovett and Vanderbilt’s Kyle Shurmur.
