Former Alabama wide receiver Gehrig Dieter has been waived by the Kansas City Chiefs. Dieter has been a member of the Chiefs since 2017, spending a majority of his time on the practice squad. He was a member of the Chiefs 2020 Super Bowl title, although he did not play in the game.
Dieter spent the first year of his career in Dallas with the SMU Mustangs appearing in no games. He then transferred to Bowling Green for three more seasons before eventually ending up in Tuscaloosa for the 2016 season.
Dieter teamed up with [autotag]Calvin Ridley[/autotag] and [autotag]OJ Howard[/autotag] as a member of the Alabama team that came up just short of Clemson in the national title. During his year with Alabama he posted 15 catches, 214 yards and four touchdowns.
Dieter is still only 29 years old and hopes to find another opportunity with a new team.
The Chiefs have waived six players:
WR Gehrig Dieter
WR Gary Jennings
DT Lorenzo Neal
TE Josh Pederson
DE Jonathan Woodard
