[Bob Dole]

He's also paid a shit-ton of money for a backup.

[Chargem]

I will miss the Chiefs best male cheerleader

[LiveSteam]

6ft-6 and 311 pounds. And he's a over paid back up?
Sad

[BigRedChief]

Schwartz and Fisher were great last year. We can use the money for interior O-line help.

[Why Not?]

Great cheerleader and teammate!

Player? Not so much

[Pablo]

Well enjoy the ring Cam. It's the last you'll ever get.

[chief4life]

We save 3.2 million I'm goid with that according to paylor

[nychief]

Ultimately that was a good trade. Got 25 starts for giving up a 5th rnd pick, methinks?

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Pound puppy rescue

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Hate to see him go in a way. He played pretty good at times especially at Guard and having that swingman sure helps. No doubt Veach will upgrade though.

[Chief Northman]

CP liked to shit on Erving. He was actually a decent player on the IOL, but got exposed when he had to move out to Tackle. I appreciated how he stood up for teammates, played with some nasty, and appeared to love being a Chief. The money just does not make sense at this point.

Thanks Cam, and good luck.

[tyecopeland]

Not a surprise but he was good depth and the best energy guy that was always on the sideline. Hope that he gets paid somewhere else, or that if he doesnt, he would come back cheaper.

Very good take. I too wouldn't mind seeing him get a decent paycheck somewhere else and, if not, come back and try to make the Chief's roster at a reduced rate.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Just another decent player drafted too high. Not his fault.

[BryanBusby]

Outside of a few games (2018 vs the Steelers, Raiders game in 2019), he was terrible as advertised. Thankfully they are moving on.

[Bowser]

I'd take him back at a team friendly deal if he was willing with the caveat that he will never play tackle again. He's a serviceable backup center/guard option, just in no way an offensive tackle.

This. Did some good here. Not enough to justify that salary.

Other than the 8 games Erving had to start for him and the other one he missed time.

Agreed and he actually played well at center as well. It was just at tackle well you know what happened. This draft is so deep with o-line talent I bet we get someone to replace him.

[Dante84]

That’s *Super Bowl Champion* Cam Erving, ahthankyouverymuch

[Hoover]

Sorry but I disagree and I wanted to see Cam pan out and was happy when they extended him. If he was as good as you claim he was at IOL then he should have played a lot this year. He didn’t. Glad we are moving on.

[RealSNR]

His fat ass nearly broke Pat's ankle.

It's hard for me to not like anybody on this Super Bowl squad, but if anybody is capable of receiving my ire, it's him.

Yeah, this... he played his role with passion

Thanks for anything you did to help get the Lombardi, but I never need to watch your shit get pushed in again. Protecting Pat and his $45M a year is priority number one.

[InChiefsHeaven]

He'll always have the Ring...good for him. Hope he has success.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

He was the best cheerleader on this team. I’ll miss him a lot tbh. He was always the first one there when any of our players got into a tussle or fight. He had everyone’s back. Thank you Cam for being an awesome person.

[Hammock Parties]

who is going to play left trash can now?

[notorious]

He's 27?

Feels like he should be 35.

[FloridaMan88]

My lasting memory of Cam Erving in KC will always be during the 2018 Rams game when he gave up the strip sack to Aaron Donald then fails to recover the fumble by instead trying to clumsily scoop the ball up.

Good riddance.

While Heck wasn’t able to get first round production out of him, it wasn’t all bad... my lasting memory is when he scooped up that Steeler lineman with one arm and body slammed him

[MahomesMagic]

We should look into Cordy Glenn. If he is healthy would be a nice add for our OL.

[rabblerouser]

He's also paid a shit-ton of money for a backup.

He also sucks horrible fat monkey nuts.

[suzzer99]

He's also paid a shit-ton of money for a backup.

Who got multiple people injured with his shitty play at LT.

[scho63]

Will not miss.....

[HemiEd]

6ft-6 and 311 pounds. And he's a over paid back up?
Sad

Speedbumps are a dime a dozen

[kccrow]

Door can't hit him in the ass fast enough. He sucks at every position he's ever played in the NFL.

[oldman]

He was OK at G, but sucked at T. Unfortunately, we had to play him at T.

[Munson]

I will surely miss his drive-killing holding penalties.

[ARROW2]

I like him OK but I can't get that vision of him getting pushed back into mahome's ankle out of my head.

[Wilson8]

Cam had a lot of things going for him, so you can see why Kansas City traded for him.

Outstanding player at Florida State with 42 consecutive game starts. Most at left tackle, but his first year was at defensive tackle, and he finished his college career as a center.

His combine numbers - 6-5, 313 pounds, 34 1/8” arms, 10 3/8” hands 5.15, 40 time, 30 reps on bench press.

First round draft pick by Cleveland. He played 29 games with 17 starts for Browns.

He played 40 games for us with 25 starts.

I know he struggled with getting beat and with penalties, but he contributed to us getting to the AFC Championship game in 2018 and filled in for Eric Fisher for 8 games this last Super Bowl winning season.

Good luck to him and wish him the best.

[FAX]

I don't worry about Cam. I mean ... they don't call him cam for nothing.

That dude finds his way into every shot and scene.

If football doesn't work out, he can always find work as a movie extra.

Well, Aaron Donald eats a lot of lunches.

Daaang, 21 upvotes has gotta be some kinda record

Cam was instrumental filling in for Fisher, he earned every diamond on his new ring

[Deberg_1990]

Glad we picked Marcus Peters over him in 2015

47 now

[KC Hawks]

Signed with the Cowboys.

[SAUTO]

That sucks. He was a guy who on the sidelines was worth a lot imo.

He kept everyone going

It was pretty obvious he wasn't coming back awhile ago, Dallas also appears to like signing our trash.

[44yearsandcounting]

I wonder if Dallas has a failed defensive lineman we can pick up and convert to an all-pro guard?

Oh I knew he was gone, but man he was fun to watch on the sidelines. Everyone seemed to love and respond to him

I think most people were happy he wasn't in the game.

[Rain Man]

I hate to see the championship gang break up, but we'll find other guys who'll maintain the legend of the Chiefs.

[alpha_omega]

Signed with the Cowboys.

Good for him.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

He could have been a Texan. There was concerned he may hug Watt to tightly

[kjwood75nro]

Will he step on Dak's ankle before or after he gets paid?

[rtmike]

I wonder if Dallas has a failed defensive lineman we can pick up and convert to an all-pro guard?

Or a TE, lol. It worked last time, lol.

[RunKC]

Holy shit!

Dak take cover! The other Cowboy OL better watch out too.

[Chris Meck]

Dudes a dumpster fire. I never got why anyone was thinking he was halfway decent.

He was not AS BAD at G, but even then, no push EVER.

Have fun, Dak.

[wazu]

I have Zeke on my fantasy team and this greatly concerns me.

He was adequate at OG, I guess you could say that.

At tackle, out in space? Thats how he ended up with the Chiefs in the first place. He's AWFUL at tackle.

Maybe that's their long-term plan with Dak. Just get him killed.

Jesus, Cam nearly got Mahomes murdered and Schwartz's leg blown out on the same play.

Enjoy that guaranteed money, Dak.

Woof.

Bold move cotton.

I believe that was the game where Schwartz missed a snap and his streak was done.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Cam Erving single handedly got Rankin injured for the year, made Schwartz miss a snap ending his streak, and nearly got Mahomes killed in his first game back from injury. What a piece of shit that guy was.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Dallas is hoping for that scenario. It’s the ultimate bailout to avoid paying their game manager QB.

[Direckshun]

Erving, to my count, took 1 snap in the Super Bowl.

He pancaked Nick Bosa on the play and Mahomes ran a touchdown in (to the other side).

Feel free to fact check me.

[TwistedChief]

There is no doubt that his play absolutely sucked, but I don’t understand the hate for him. The guy seemed like a great teammate who was always there to get in someone’s face to protect Mahomes. Blame Veach (I feel blasphemous!) if anything for lacking decent OL depth and being forced to work him in at LT.

Yeah, the dude was always fired up and ready to scrap. Loved his attitude, just not his play.
