The Kansas City Chiefs made their first five roster cuts to get down to 85 by the NFL’s deadline on Tuesday.

With the preseason well underway, there’s plenty for Kansas City Chiefs fans to talk about, which means we have another loaded episode of the Arrowhead Addict podcast for listeners/viewers.

The Chiefs had to meet the NFL’s roster cut deadline on Tuesday afternoon to cull down the total number of players on the official roster at 85. To do so, the team cut several players this week, including cornerback Lonnie Johnson along with a number of wide receivers. The Chiefs have a new round of five cuts to make by next Tuesday before needing to get down to a 53-man roster by August 30.

In addition to those roster moves, the Chiefs recently added an interesting defensive lineman in former Patriot Danny Shelton.

On this episode of the podcast, Sterling Holmes and Matt Conner discuss the swirl of activity on the transaction wire. We also look at the competition between Chad Henne and Shane Buechele, wondering if there really is a quarterback battle behind Patrick Mahomes.
