The Chiefs continued their rebuilding process by telling four more veteran players they would be released, sources said.

One, cornerback Ty Law, was a starter last season. Two, linebacker Kendrell Bell and defensive tackle James Reed, are former starters while the fourth player, tight end Jason Dunn, was once a key reserve.

All of the players are over 30 except Bell, who turns 30 in July.

The Chiefs have either released or will release six veterans who had 2008 contracts. Offensive tackle John Welbourn and wide receiver Eddie Kennison, both also over 30, were previously released.

[Rooster]

Wow. The youthification of the Chiefs continue. I will miss Dunn.

[bringbackmarty]

no surprises really, except for reed maybe, looks like we are considering drafting a DT.

[Archie Bunker]

Good this should have been done last year. Bring on the youth.

[BigChiefFan]

At least, they are seeing the light-I just hope they can draft some kick ass players.

[pikesome]

The Bell experiment was a smashing success.

Even the Law deal looks, with the benefit of hindsight, as eh. At best.

[Mr. Laz]

[el borracho]

I do like this part of The Plan. One year too late but definitely the right idea. They need to gut this pig completely.

[Frazod]

I'll miss Dunn, but like everybody else I'm happy to see the long overdue spring cleaning.

[tyton75]

I like it... although when this is all done, we are really going to suck baows next year

[CupidStunt]

Still more to come. This better not be it.

[Stryker]

EXCELLENT NEWS!

Keep the heads a rollin'

30+ YEAR OLD CHIEFS PLAYERS THIS WAY ------>

[BigRedChief]

King Carl and Herm have both admitted that they thought they could duct tape the team together for one more run last year and were wrong.

Hell, I never liked the Law signing to begin with.

[pikesome]

King Carl ... wrong.

[unothadeal]

Cool.

[Micjones]

Excellent news. Keep them coming Carl!

[KC4EVER]

Can't wait to see who gets the axe thursday!

[RustShack]

Shouldn't be the end, Rod Edwards is another DT I want to see gone.

[el borracho]

Carl should cut Herm just before cutting himself. That would be a great offseason.

[Bill Lundberg]

I wonder if they're shopping Wesley? Is there anyone else you can think of who may have some trade value that we are planning to cut??

[Micjones]

We can't cut all of our veterans, but there are certainly a couple other players who need to get some "gone".

[Rain Man]

Herm is cutting all the guys with one syllable names. I figured it'd be the opposite.

[pikesome]

We can't cut all of our veterans, but there are certainly a couple other players who need to get some "gone".

If we're going to suck this year (and all signs point to "yes"), the team might as well jettison all the dead weight.

[pikesome]

Herm is cutting all the guys with one syllable names. I figured it'd be the opposite.

There can only be one? One-syllable named guy that is.

[xbarretx]

no surprises really, except for reed maybe, looks like we are considering drafting a DT.

i disagree, considering the norm in KC over the last few years. i think its a HUGE surprise that they are ACTUALLY cleaning house. for once in our lifetime its a good surprise :thumb: all i can say is keep the overhaul comming!

[MTG#10]

We released Kendrell Bell??? But Gunther said he was a beast and he had to hold him back in practice because he is so intense. ROFL

[pikesome]

Well, much like politicians, I don't expect Gun to say "Oh, yea, that guy. He was a bum. I should have never lobbied for him. Sorry." Neither job is done by people who admit mistakes often or well.

[Chiefnj2]

Herm's first year in free agency proved to be a failure.

[Tribal Warfare]

[Chiefmanwillcatch]

free agency = sucks.

The good ones are way overpriced.

[raybec 4]

JD will be missed but I wonder if this means Michael Allen will get a shot to be the second TE.

[ChiefsCountry]

Law blew ass in the regular season but he single handly kept us in that Indy playoff game when our offense was still back in Kansas City.

[Bowser]

Annybody have a breakdown of the savings against the salary cap?

[Deberg_1990]

Law can still play, but hes probably better suited as a role player. I wouldnt be surprised if he ended up back in New England again.

[HemiEd]

Cheef fan arr reely stoopid. Only kweers wood root fur the Cheefs.


LMAO

[PhillyChiefFan]

Definatly needed to get rid of Law and Bell, wish Dunn wouldn't have been cut, but if we are getting younger, lets do it.

[HemiEd]

Herm's first year in free agency proved to be a failure.

It has to be Dick Vermeil's fault, somehow.

[El Jefe]

Well it's good to see we are headed in the right direction.

[dirk digler]

Well it's good to see we are headed in the right direction.

Yep now let's hope they can actually start drafting good

[eazyb81]

Finally Kendra Bell is gone. It would have been a successful offseason if that was the only move we made this year.

[Dartgod]

Herm is cutting all the guys with one syllable names. I figured it'd be the opposite.
Thank God! Bobby Sippio is safe.

[stlchiefs]

Yeah, that wasn't Herm's recruiting class, don't blame him. :spock:

[Ecto-I]

It was probably all that lip he was giving Herm in Training Camp about his room being on like the third floor :D

[88TG88]

From KCCHIEFS.com.....on Kendrell Bell

2006
Kansas City (2005-06): Has seen action in 32 games (28 starts), registering 125 tackles (95 solo), 2.5 sacks (-11.0 yards), one forced fumble, one pass defensed and 11 QB pressures … Registered two tackles (one solo) in one postseason game.


Why is it that I cant remember a single tackle listed above????:shake:

[Eleazar]

I think Law can still play. Our defense requires good safety play and we had two that were inconsistent at best... I think they made our corners look significantly worse than they really are.

[Simply Red]

Excellent news. YOU'RE NEXT Carl!.

[DJJasonp]

Maybe....but either Arrowhead has the most slippery turf known to man....or Ty Law has a severe vertigo problem. I recall him on his ass more than making plays.

Maybe just me....

Because it is not even 4 tackles a game.. Epitome of uselessness..

If only it were true...

Wasn't a knock on him that he would fall down if he got beat??

[DJJasonp]

Wasn't a knock on him that he would fall down if he got beat??

Yep...reminds me of basketball players....when they miss a dunk they act like they hurt something....or soccer players when they lose the ball they fake an injury like they pulled a groin or something.


Everyone has their pride I guess (except maybe Ryan Leaf).

[Zouk]

Herm's first year in free agency proved to be a failure.

It is not a failure to get a 16 game starter on a playoff team for veteran minimum salary (James Reed). Now that Turk, Tank, and Boone are here, he's no longer needed. And Ty Law was always supposed to be a 2 year deal. The salaries and option bonuses spiked up after year 2.

These players were stopgaps. Parcells used to call them "hold the fort" guys. You get them so that you can dump Eric Warfields and Ryan Simses, and then you get rid of them when you have younger players to replace them.

[teedubya]

Looks like year 20 of the five year plan is going to kick ass!!!11 ROFL

[bowener]

How long till Law and Bell are kicking ass in New England?

[raybec 4]

Monty Beisel went there and got a ring

[the Talking Can]

woo-hoo!!

love cutting old trash....

[the Talking Can]

we won't miss any of those guys..all together their "production" wasn't worth one good starter.....good riddance to washed out vets...

[Halfcan]

The Bell experiment was a smashing success.

Law made a few plays-if only he didn't fall down so much-bummer

Tinkerbell was a Bust from the start-and I was the first on the Planet to say so.

[Micjones]

We certainly won't miss Reed or Bell.
Dunn and Law aren't easily replaced.
Unless the Chiefs have their Free Agency wits about them.

I suspect the Chiefs will give Michael Allan a chance to take over for Dunn.
Not sure what we're planning to do to replace Law.

We have Brackenridge, who should figure into the competition, but that's about where it ends.

[LiL stumppy]

I don't like cutting Dunn. I thought he was a good blocking TE we could have used. He wasn't that old was he?

[CupidStunt]

Tinkerbell was a Bust from the start-and I was the first on the Planet to say so.

At least you've finally got something to tell your grandkids in 30 years.

[Skip Towne]

Now instead of old shitty players we will have young shitty players. Herm and Carl are still here.

[Fish]

Just go ahead and piss on the parade.....

[bringbackmarty]

Dunn was a gimp the past 2-3 seasons. bad back bad knees. He really lost his initial push\strength\leverage with the back this past season.

It signal a change in our philosophy also. Having to depend on the TE's to help with our tackle situation the past couple of seasons sucks. Maybe herm is serious about restocking the line with "grade a meat", and Dunn doesn't fit in their plans no more.

[TEX]

Man I can't count the number of retards who kept saying that Bell's "learning a new system", or "he's out of position", or the "coaches know more" - BS. The guy was damaged goods from the start and anyone who didn't see that was ****ING retarded. But it serves no purpose being right because now, after he proved he couldn't play for 3 seasons...:cuss:

I was right there with you with Bell - oh htismaque - I guess I won that one...:rolleyes:

Ray Farmer has had a busy week

Ha, maybe thats why I liked him so much. He did a lot of work on the O-line. O well, gotta move on.
