Tony Moeaki tweets goodbye to Kansas City Chiefs
 

The*Kansas City Chiefs*have been patient withTony Moeaki, but with a brand-new regime in-house, that patience has run out.The talented but injury-plagued tight end tweeted Saturday that he's no longer with the team:


The*Chiefs*used a third-round pick on Moeaki in the 2010*NFL Draft, and he rewarded the team with a productive 47-catch rookie campaign. The wheels fell off from there.After undergoing a knee scope after the 2010 season, Moeaki sustained a*torn ACL during the 2011 preseason, shelving him for the year. He returned last season to catch 33 passes for 453 yards and one touchdown, but Moeaki has been a roster-bubble candidate all summer.Out indefinitely with a*fractured shouldersuffered earlier in the month, Moeaki never was part of the plan for*Andy Reid*and the new-lookChiefs. Kansas City will go into the season withAnthony Fasano*atop the depth chart and rookie*Travis Kelce*behind him. We'll find out soon enough if reserves*Kevin Brock*andDemetrius Harris*make the cut.Moeaki, just 26, has a chance to continue his career if he can get healthy. Bandied about as a possible trade target for the*New England Patriots*this offseason, he's no longer property of a front office that obviously found no takers for Moeaki's services.

Been a bad week for the Iowa homers...

He was cut? NO WAY!!!!

Man getting cut in multiple threads is horrendous. I wonder if he'll break an eye socket when the tear drops

Or his heart breaking. One thing for sure is something is bound to break on him.

Bray to go kick em when their down.

No. He was probably given his salary plus a little bit because he got injured.

Mother ****ing reported

Hopefully he didn't break either of his thumbs while texting.

Worse, he dropped the phone in his lap and broke both his legs

When asked to respond to how he felt about being cut Tony Moeaki simply stated, "I'm Tony Moeaki. I don't get cut. I get broke."

Shortly afterwards he was life flighted to KU Medical center for treatment of an apparent sprained hemorrhoid.

Bottom line is we all wish him well. It takes a special man who, despite being made out of glass, can finish 1 game let alone the barely double digit numbers he accomplished in 3 years in KC.

Too bad he couldn't stay healthy- pretty good guy- but that's the Breaks.

Did Tony Moeaki get cut today?

I'm hoping that Kelce didn't catch Moeaki disease. Seems like he has been constantly dinged.

I always liked him, shame about the injuries.
