[WhawhaWhat]

Cyrus went Bye-rus.

[BossChief]

I wonder if he failed a physical or something.

[ThaVirus]

So we're rolling with Charcandrick West as the #3?

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

So we're rolling with Charcandrick West as the #3?

Wouldn't care if they didn't carry a no. 3. With RBs, there's always a guy off the street or someone else's practice squad that could come in and contribute the next week, if needed.

[thabear04]

Did not think he would get cut. So if West become the other #3 RB or they could put Thomas as the #3 Back because he is listed RB/WR on the roster.

[stevieray]

....how long was he with the Chiefs?

[suzzer99]

They cut Soyyyy-rus!!!

[suzzer99]

YES! Can't believe I got that in before anyone else.

[thabear04]

....how long was he with the Chiefs?

4 Years.

[KC native]

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[stevieray]

4 Years.

IIRC, you stay with a club that long, NFL pension.

[jimidollar]

He could have taken Poe's spot until he came back. Noooo!!

[Titty Meat]

Should have cut him after the Indy game

[thabear04]

IIRC, you stay with a club that long, NFL pension.

Well he was going on his 4th year. Maybe he came in out of shape for camp and fail his physical.

[Lzen]

Well he was going on his 4th year. Maybe he came in out of shape for camp and fail his physics.

They have Physics class at NFL team practices? Boy, they really are taking this intelligence thing seriously.

sorry I mean physical.

[loochy]

I have a feeling that 99% of NFL players would fail physics.

[DaneMcCloud]

I have a feeling that 99% of NFL players would fail physics.

I don't think that number is restricted to just NFL players...

[loochy]

I don't think that number is restricted to just NFL players...

you have a point

[RealSNR]

Fat Scott wept.

[The Franchise]

Fat Scott wept.

And then signed him to a $20 million dollar deal with the Falcons.

[KurtCobain]

And then signed him to a $20 million dollar deal with the Falcons.

As the facility janitor.

[RealSNR]

Who will replace him on special teams???!!!?!?!?/////////111

[JakeLV]

Shouldn't have cut off that wheel route

[mcaj22]

after this season we will be purged of every turd pick from the Fat Scott era except for the three obvious good ones that even a monkey could have picked.

Berry
Houston

...?

I'll give credit to Fat Scott for Bailey and Poe. I would also have given him credit for Hudson, but we all know how that worked out.

[RealSNR]

HE DRAFTED CHARLES /Falcons fans

[KurtCobain]

That skank hoe Bellatrix offed him.

[notorious]

HE DRAFTED CHARLES /Falcons fans

LMAO


Still cracks me up.

[Dante84]

Cap implications?

[Hammock Parties]

Another player vastly overrated by many here.

[notorious]

The very definition of "JAG".

[RealSNR]

Cap implications?

We're signing Mathis!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

[Dante84]

We're signing Mathis!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

No, I'm asking how this impacts our cap situation

[BossChief]

No, I'm asking how this impacts our cap situation

We save 668,500.

About 9.5m in cap space now.

[DaneMcCloud]

Another player vastly overrated by many here.

Really? I'm surprised he was even "rated".

Guys like him are a dime a dozen, especially coming off a torn ACL.

[Coochie liquor]

Maybe they're making a roster spot for a signing to help with Poe's absence?

[BossChief]

IMO they really should bring in Barry Coefield unless they think someone can adequately rotate with Poe without weakening another position.

[thabear04]

Does he count as dead money?

[Easy 6]

Another player vastly overrated by many here.

LMAO who? literally NOBODY talks about that guy.

[Buehler445]

Another player vastly overrated by many here.

What? Does anyone ACTUALLY give a shit about our RB 3?

[Hammock Parties]

What? Does anyone ACTUALLY give a shit about our RB 3?

Just a few droplets of homer shit:

Gray can easily learn from Jamaal. I can see him on the field when Jamaal is on the sidelines. 5-7 carries a game for sure.

No, far from it. He makes a good point. We are stacked at RB. 3 deep. :thumb:

Loved Alex running at the end of that clip.

[notorious]

LMAO


Gotta love 90's action movies.

[rico]

Ugh, this hurts me almost half as much as cutting Stanzi did. And that is quite a bit. :( I love Cyrus The Virus.

[RealSNR]

He counts as dead, that's for sure.

Chiefs release injured running back Cyrus Gray

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) -- The Chiefs have released running back Cyrus Gray, who tore his ACL last November, in what coach Andy Reid described Wednesday as a ''football decision.''

The former sixth-round pick ran for 99 yards and a touchdown in 35 games, but was also a valuable special teams player. His departure leaves Jamaal Charles, Knile Davis, Keshawn Hill, Anthony Sherman, Spencer Ware and Charcandrick West among running backs on the roster.

While Eric Berry's return from cancer treatment dominated the first day of training camp, there was some other injury news. Wide receiver Chris Conley strained his knee during the workout, and linebacker Ramik Wilson was placed on the non-football injury list with a back strain.

Quarterback Tyler Bray worked out with the trainers. He's returning from an ACL injury.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Sadly, my only memory of him is the overthrow by Alex Smith

How do we replace his 31 yards and 0 catches ?

[jspchief]

I always preferred the guy we let go last year

Wha? Was it him, or Wilson, that hurt their hamstring in OTAs?

But dude, what about that funny dance he did in the end zone?!?!?

[thabear04]

You mean the dance that Von Miller does.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Gray stole it, but he also made it better. They did go to HS and college together, so I can't blame Cyrus for liking the donkey.

Shaun Draughn? Charcandrick West? Joe McKnight?
