The Kansas City Chiefs waived quarterback Jake Haener as part of a series of roster moves on Monday.
The team also cut defensive end Ethan Hurkett and defensive tackle Zacch Pickens and signed three free agents: wide receiver Xavier Loyd, defensive back Marlen Sewell and offensive tackle Kahlil Benson.
Haener, 27, was the Chiefs' first notable free-agent signing this offseason on Feb. 2, brought in to add depth while two-time NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes recovers from ACL surgery. In March, the Chiefs signed veteran quarterback and former first-round draft pick Justin Fields as Mahomes' backup.
Haener was a fourth-round draft pick by New Orleans in 2023. He appeared in eight games (one start) for the Saints in 2024, completing 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Saints released him in January.
Kansas City drafted LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in the seventh round of last month's draft and also has Chris Oladokun on the roster. Oladokun took over after Mahomes' injury last year and completed 35 of 55 passes for 235 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in three games (two starts).
