As the Kansas City Chiefs strive for their third consecutive Super Bowl title this season, former Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. will not be part of their celebrations. Despite having signed with the Chiefs in March, Smith’s tenure with the team has ended abruptly. According to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chiefs have decided to release Smith.
Smith, who was drafted by the Vikings as a second-round pick, had joined the Chiefs with high hopes. However, his position with the team was uncertain following the final preseason game. Reports indicated that Smith was on the edge of making the final roster, and his recent release suggests that the Chiefs decided to move in a different direction.
With Smith now out of the Chiefs’ plans, he faces the challenge of finding a new team to continue his NFL career. The release comes at a crucial time in the season, and Smith will need to act quickly to secure a spot with another team if he wants to keep playing this year.
