Damn that sucks.

Career with KC over unless he accepts a restructure. Sucks.

Oooookay. Thanks for trying, JC. (seriously)..

**** me....

**** me with a grain scoop

Not sure how surprised I am at this

No :(

Not surprised. Over 30 two ACLS...

Bye bye and thanks JC

As expected

Boo

This makes me sad.

Super unpopular but I wouldn't of resigned him to his last contract. No way no how. RBS are the easiest go replace in the draft.

The #KCChiefs have placed RB Jamaal Charles on Injured Reserve, source said. Out at least 8 weeks. Wait does this mean he could come back?

Great day of news so far.

Sad. He seems nice.

I'll await Laz's thread later tonight or tomorrow morning to comment.

The Chiefs can release him with zero cap implications.

For his production, his contract was a steal.

That I didn't know. Thanks for the info.

And another Chiefs great sails to Valhalla without a playoff win to his name.

So it goes.

And there it is....

Sadly, I've kind of gotten used to not having him.

We ****ed the Colts without him we can continue to **** teams we just need Justin Houston back to provide the lube.

From what I just read a player has to be on IR for at least 6 weeks and can return to play 2 weeks after that if they are designated to return. One player per team per year but I don't think we have used that this year (Houston was on PUP, right)?).

yeah... kind of a petty thing for you to say right about now.

This is really upsetting. Not so much about how it hurts our backfield as much as just wanting him to be part of this. He is fun to watch and a great guy. Hate to see it end this way.

I don't he can come back didn't Chiefs put Houston on IR.

Next man up. Or in this case, keep rolling, since he never really played.

Ware and West, and now Sankey, will be just fine. Ware is easily a top 10 all around back, maybe even 5.

Glad he at least got one final touchdown in the black hole if this is indeed it for him. Thanks for the memories JC.

I suggested we trade him last year but that was booed and frowned upon here.

I loved JC but the offense focused more without him because they had to spread the ball around and not lean on him so much. This is Andy Reid fault really for forcing JC to be the offense 80% of the time when he was healthy.

And yes, Charles could come back for the playoffs, but will they? Idk, seems unlikely.

Amazing career.

Time to get a new road jersey. NFL shop, here I come.

Didn't Priest Holmes get a first down against the Raiders for his last career carry? I think he did like for 11 yards.

Alex would get just as much blame as Andy as far as checking it down to him.

It's like Detroit now without Megatron. Guys like that mentally trick you into thinking you should get the ball to them at any time when you are unsure, and it limits your offense.

As I understand it, the IR rule states that one player per team per season can be brought back from IR after a designation of at least eight weeks. The player does not have to be identified as designated to return when he is placed on IR. The Chiefs can bring back a player, but we don't know at this time whether that player might be JC.

No, Houston was on PUP, not IR.

Never mind Houston was on PUP.

No, Houston was put on the PUP list to start the season.

The Chiefs can bring back any player that they put on IR this season but that's limited to one player only.

Teams no longer have to designate which player returns in advance.

Charles is having a 2nd surgery on his knee, according to Rapoport. Not sure what on.

He's done, folks.

Chiefs are saving it for Mauga.

:)

I thought that too, but after looking it looks like Houston was put on the PUP

Regardless of whether or not he's ready to begin practicing in 8 weeks, it's probably much too late in the season for him to get into football shape and have any impact.

Plus, the Chiefs might be faced with having to cut a productive player in order to squeeze a questionable Charles onto the roster.

Dorsey let a lot of dudes walk in the 2014 offseason, so it didn't make much sense to me to not trade JC the second he threatened a hold out.

If you're a rebuilding a team then why half ass it by locking down cap money to a position that has a propensity to get injured relative to others?

Well, this all but guarantees no one will give him much in FA.

Maybe there's a glimmer of hope he can return next year on a cheap deal.

He's done for the year.

If he ever suits up for the Chiefs again, it'll be on a Vet Min incentive laden deal.

That's probably out of the question for 2017, depending on the severity of the operation.

Damn. They must have done the wrong knee.

Oh, Lord:

I've been wondering this for days. He has knee swelling like Tamba.

I'm confident that he's getting both knees scoped and cleaned out like Tamba did in February.

So we signed Sankey to replace Jamaal...

Houston to replace Ehinger?

What the **** happened to Reaves?

On the bright side of today's news, I re-watched our offense when Fulton came in and he did really well. I know, it's the Colts DL, but he picked up a couple stunts and got a surge in the run game generally.

And you're still a ****ing dumb ass.

We just won a playoff game last season. It's not the teams fault he was hurt

You are such a condescending, know-it-all prick.


ROFL

:facepalm:

Trade him while hurt?

Makes no sense, probably why you were booed

Love me some Jamaal Charles and hope like the dickens that he'll be back with us next year. Guy is a total warrior, and assuming they can get his knees right, I still think he's got plenty left in the tank. Never seen an NFL back with a smoother, non-wasteful stride. Absolutely perfect form.

Generally, I'm not one to get all crazy about keeping older vets, but for some reason or other, JC is a different breed in my mind. I want the guy back next year. Period.

One of the deepest drafts in awhile at RB this spring. We should take one

Why do they bother to keep a player around for 2 years if they don't think he's even good enough use in a situation like this?

****ing cut him and move on

JFC

a 2nd surgery? That sounds more like the end of his football career entirely let alone with the Chiefs.

Will go down as one of the greatest players ever to play on some of the crappiest teams ever.

We've got Ware and West?

And I wouldn't be surprised a bit if Sankey turns it up in KC. Ware was out of the league in 2014 and West in an UDFA. If they can turn those two into good players, what can they do with a 2nd rounder?:hmmm:

Knile Davis > Trent Richardson

Anyone with a pulse > Trent Richardson

We've seen the last of Jamaal Charles, its a sad ****ing day... :sulk:

That's what I'm assuming as well, the whole swelling thing just sounded like he needed to get them drained. Wouldn't be surprised if he's brought back right before playoffs.

Like Bray?

The we one?

welp ... for one, the quarterback position is different because of the long mental developmental aspect. Two, if Bray isn't ready next year then cut his ass too.

This coaching staff seems to like keeping borderline guys around because of familiarity. Imo borderline guys should be prospects not 'blankies' for comfort.

Bet he pushed too hard and needs a meniscus clean up... being out the rest of the year is good for getting him back next year... even though he will be 30 next year he has less miles on him because of the injuries.... I hope he comes back to contribute next year if not retire with a alltime best 5.5 yd per carry...

If OverTheCap is right with their numbers, by the time we roll over this year's cap room and void Foles and Charles contracts, we would have around 27 million in cap room next year....

Poe and Berry are both likely able to be kept, if they want.

The saddest part about JC is that we FINALLY had an above average OL for him. It sucks that we couldn't see him behind good blockers

All we can do...

Sad, sad day.

Except it didn't really hurt his career. He always got his yards when healthy

Because of his skinny build, he was always an injury waiting to happen.

Shut up you numb ****. That poster you are chiding has been on this board for over 10 years and has managed to not switch his NFL team even one time.
Your poseur act is as tired as Alex Smith's future CTE trauma.

To the real KC Fans: I'm sorry to hear about JC. I loved watching that guy run.

****

LMAO

RBs who average 5+ ypc are not the easiest to replace in the draft.

Maybe but you can easily draft two that each average 2.5 yards.

No Sir they are not. But coming off that many injuries and being that old for a RB. It's nothing personal ita just smart NFL business.

Holding onto players past their prime for sentimental reasons is bad business. The ONLY 3 positions you invest heavily in are elite pass rushers, left takle and the obvious QB.

Dane cleared it up that it wasn't a bad deal but it is cap space that is currently allocated when we have other positions needing help.

That was all...

And you can get Trent Richardson to cover one of those spots, so you only have to draft one.

Spencer Ware 5.2 isn't so bad.
