[HayWire]

Well shit

[MMXcalibur]

Sausage Party? No, Sausage Farewell

[Titty Meat]

Wtf just a few weeks ago he made it sound like he was going to sign here if we offered him a contract.

[Dartgod]

Dammit, I need to get his jersey.

[cabletech94]

Damn. Thanks sausage. That wheel route against San Diego/LA was a thing of beauty.

[Chris Meck]

Farewell, Sausage!

[New World Order]

Goodbye Sausage Man

[TribalElder]

See Ya Sherm

[Dante84]

Damn. Thanks sausage. That wheel route against San Diego/LA was a thing of beauty.

Mahomes' first TD, right?

[Rain Man]

Oh, that makes me sad. He's been a mainstay of the team forever.

[ptlyon]

GHEY field at Arrowhead did him in

[wazu]

Damn. Thanks sausage. That wheel route against San Diego/LA was a thing of beauty.

The block to spring Williams free in the Super Bowl was pretty sweet, too.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Damn. He was a favorite. My kids named our Pug, "Sherman," after him.

[HayWire]

Mahomes' first TD, right?

First TD was week 17 the season before against the donkeys

I be wrong. I get it

[The Franchise]

First TD was week 17 the season before against the donkeys

He didn’t score a TD that game.

[louie aguiar]

Farewell sausage! Didn’t we trade Javier arenas for Sherman?

[TinyEvel]

Weird. That's the same outfit I wore to announce that I was leaving my book club.

[KC Hawks]

Mahomes first TD was to Hill.

[KC Hawks]

The last remnant of the Tony Gonzalez trade!

[Dante84]

First TD was week 17 the season before against the donkeys

No sir

[HayWire]

He didn’t score a TD that game.

I stand corrected. I just looked it up and thought he threw one. I can't remember what I did last week... don't vknow what I thought I could remember something from 2017.

My bad

[scho63]

He was being used less and less. Andy fucked up not having him as an extra blocker in the Super Bowl.

Loved the guy. Good luck to you Sausage!

[Johnny Vegas]

Pour one out for the sausage

[smithandrew051]

FUCK! SHIT!

[Otter]

Well, damn!

Good luck in the next chapter sausage.

[HayWire]

No sir

Yep, my bad. I misremembered like a politician

[Hoover]

Great Chief!

Best of Luck Sausage!

[Dante84]

Mahomes first TD was to Hill.

Yes sir

[Rain Man]

The last remnant of the Tony Gonzalez trade!

We got a lot of value out of that pick.

[Why Not?]

Farewell sausage! Didn’t we trade Javier arenas for Sherman?

It goes nationally unnoticed because he’s a fullback, but pound for pound, one of the greatest steals in a trade of all time.

[Beef Supreme]

Great guy to root for. Always came through when they called his number.

Great nickname.

Our sherman tank is gone! This sucks.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Colquitt at it again?

[HemiEd]

First TD was week 17 the season before against the donkeys

First completion was to Harris, a great catch in that same game.

Going to really miss Sherman, he has been rock solid for a very long time.

[Deberg_1990]

How will Andy play with his Sausage now?

[Chiefshrink]

Andy will always have a fullback in this offense so it will be interesting if he drafts one or picks up a FA.

[Hammock Parties]

We all knew Mahomes was something special when this happened.

We knew well before then, but that was the first regular season game proof

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Did Sherman just become a deputy sheriff?

[frozenchief]

1. I am sad he will not be a Chief anymore. Loved his work ethic and what he brought to this team.

2. I am glad he was not cut but retired.

3. I am also glad he got to go to 2 Super Bowls and win at least 1. I mean, think of Jim Kelly.

4. Riding off in a helicopter was really cool.

[Red Dawg]

Always had a good attitude and played hard. Good luck to him.

Great heart, great team mate. Hope he makes his home here.

[thabear04]

Will miss him and a great trade when we got him.

[Mike in SW-MO]

Gonna miss his camp intro outfits.

[tmax63]

Hate to see him go but he wasn't being used. Glad he went out on his own terms. Saves a mil or mil and a half on cap?

[tredadda]

Weird. That's the same outfit I wore to announce that I was leaving my book club.

Did you leave or did Baker Mayfield and the gang vote you out?

Fuck... Look at that pocket... We get the Oline healthy, Mahomes is going to kill it next year, revenge city...

[Iowanian]

Ironically it appears the sausage is announcing his retirement to go shoot pigs from a helicopter.

He was a solid chief.

[cdcox]

It is all gravy for him now.

Looks like he is ready to head into battle.

That's a top 5 throw in Mahomes' career so far. Just beautiful. And I always loved how all the running backs ran down field to show Sherman some love after that play.

Happy retirement, Sausage. Go live your best life.

[HonestChieffan]

Man that sucks big time.

[Dunerdr]

A great Chief! One of my favorite players. It is weird to think this was a piece of the Tony G. trade and he just retired.

[Buehler445]

Love him. He was still crushing dudes on ST. I can’t remember what game it was but he absolutely hammered a dude this year. Always brought it. Made a hell of a career out of not a ton of talent.

Hat tip.

[bringbackmarty]

He's shooting feral pigs in Texas.That's the reason for the getup and the helicopter. I personally would love to do this, alas as I have childrens that depend on me, I will not be boarding a helicopter to lean out the side and shoot feral pigs, I will shoot my feral pigs on the ground. Truth be told, I took a joyride in a small plane about 20 years ago when I only had 1 childrens, it was over the Mississippi river south of new orleans and we were spooking herds of feral pigs that numbered in the hundreds. Wish I had the gun then when I had the courage. Nothing better than wild Bacon\Pork Loin. Scary fucking animal if you are on the ground and have nothing but birdshot and a couple of slugs in your pocket.

[bringbackmarty]

54 pigs in one day. thats some serious pulled pork. The best dudes average that, imagine 30 deer in one day as a hunter. If you are shitty, pay 3 grand and shoot 30. I hope they harvest the meat.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I suspect he was informed he was on the chopping block

[Comanche]

He had a ton of talent. We will see how the RBs for the Chiefs(and Mahomes' scrambles) do in the future without a blocking FB. Sherman didn't get the ball often but when he did, he typically made good use of the opportunity. He was a player the team could always count on when there were others around him who weren't so reliable.

[Couch-Potato]

Genuinely a bit confused, is he actually becoming a deputy sheriff?

If so awesome!!! If not, kind of a weird sign-off.

I see. For sport? Interesting, can't wait for this to be added to the Olympics!

[RealSNR]

People have been trying to cut Sherman in mock offseasons for years now even though (especially with the new CBA) he essentially counts nothing against the cap

[redfan]

Farewell, Abe Froman.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

Sherman shooting feral pigs out one side the helicopter. Von Miller feeding them dead hookers out the other

[Wisconsin_Chief]

We will miss him more than people realize.

He was a legitimately good player. Probably would have had the impact of a Tommy Vardell type if he was playing in those days. Just a guy who was around in the wrong era of the game.

Thanks for everything 42.

[oldman]

A lot of people make fun of the player described as a "lunch pail, high motor guy", but for #42, that's a badge of honor. We'll miss him.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

Sherm with the trigger discipline. love it

I'm sure it won't happen because he is too expensive but I would take kyle juszczyk here

[FlaChief58]

One of my favorite "lunch pail" type players. Nothing flashy, but he gave it his all when called on. Murcia!

Me too, but I think we'll have to draft that type of guy.

I made a joke earlier that we should be able to afford him because he's a fullback, right? RIGHT?

Dude is good.

[suzzer99]

We all knew Mahomes was something special when this happened.

I legit cried.

[suzzer99]

We knew well before then, but that was the first regular season game proof

That and the scrambling 3rd and 11 to Hill to keep the drive alive in a spot where we always used to let them back in it instead of going for the kill shot (which the pass to Sherman was).

[Rasputin]

I have an autographed Tony Richardson jersey I would love an autograph Anthony Sherman jersey.

Although I'd love him to return for another run for the title. I'm happy for him to get to retire healthy and happy to get to do things he wants to do.



HE BELONGS IN THE CHIEFS

Pretty cool stuff. I love that kc has such a great history with fullbacks. We were lucky to have him. But the way the game changed its not a huge miss. His snap count has gone down and down. Chiefs would rather throw in an extra receiver than a guy whose only there to block in heavy sets.

[InChiefsHeaven]

I never buy a jersey of an active player, only ones who retired as Chiefs. I've thought about who my next will be, as I'm in need of a new one...Sherman...that just might work...

Yeah. Primarily he was a ST guy, but damn he was a good one. And at his age and build it’s amazing he was fucking everywhere on return coverages.

He’ll be missed more than a guy thinks.

[royr17]

With Sherman retiring it wouldn't surprise if Keizer was the new fullback.

[royr17]

It be nice to have a Kimble Anders or T-Rich type fullback again. I really like Rhamondre Stevenson or Spencer Brown in that role. They both have experience playing fullback. Both can run and catch out of the backfield.

[Valiant]

Probably found out from Andy we weren't going to use him much in 21 either so need to pay him.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Yeah. Primarily he was a ST guy, but damn he was a good one. And at his age and build it’s amazing he was ****ing everywhere on return coverages.

He’ll be missed more than a guy thinks.I doubt it.

[MAHOMO 4 LIFE!]

Here's a wild thought. With Damien Williams coming back and with Darrel the Barrel looking like a stud, why don't we move Darrel to FB and run a lot more I formation

[Pitt Gorilla]

Here's a wild thought. With Damien Williams coming back and with Darrel the Barrel looking like a stud, why don't we move Darrel to FB and run a lot more I formation

No. How about we can motion anyone we want into a blocking spot, if it has to be done. Teams really don't need a FB.
