The Kansas City Chiefs have placed wide receiver Justyn Ross on waivers, ending the former Clemson star’s tenure with the team three years after he joined the club as an undrafted free agent in 2022. A person familiar with the decision said Ross asked the Chiefs to release him last week, a request the Super Bowl champions granted on Wednesday. The 25-year-old caught just six passes during his time in Kansas City after a collegiate career interrupted by spinal surgery and a foot injury. Ross will become a free agent if he clears waivers, and league executives expect the 6-foot-4 receiver to draw interest from teams seeking size and red-zone depth ahead of training camps that open later this month.

Justyn Ross asked for his release last week and the #Chiefs granted it today, I'm told. After four seasons in Kansas City, the onetime Clemson star gets a fresh start and should have interest. https://t.co/2OmmGH3NYu
