See ya bye click

Guessing retirement, there are others to be cut if we needed the space.

Still weird timing.

Injury settlement? Not familiar enough with the logistics to know for sure…

Nothing there indicating for certain he's done, but he's probably done. Hopefully he's on the road to recovery. Hard to hate on the dude after hearing what he's going/gone through.

Very likable, too bad the play wasn't

Still better than that dumb**** Jonathan Taylor!!!

What I was going to say.

It's hard not to feel for the guy after everything he's been through. And while he was disappointing as a player, it was always gonna be hard for him to live up to the hype. Not a fan of taking RBs in the 1st round , especially guys that don't really exceed in any facet of their game.

In one of the other threads somebody made mention that the Chiefs may have been carrying him on the roster in order for him to gain enough service time for NFL benefits that veteran players get. Not sure if that's true or not but it's the only thing I've heard that at least made sense in theory.

I thought it was weird someone with gunshot PTSD would go duck hunting.....

Especially someone with his vision

Why? The gun didn't fire on its own. Seems to me the PSTD would be more about the shooters themselves and not the gun.

Cya Clyde!!

Certainly makes sense.

CEH ya MEH!

It's a shame he never lived up to the hype. I thought he was going to be a monster in the passing game.

Hollywood Brown is due to get put back on the roster so i guess he takes that spot?

Anyway sending best wishes to Clyde in his journey moving forward. He's had many ups and downs with us but there is no doubt those folks in the organisation really love the guy and you could see it on the sidelines.

So all the best to him.

Said last year that ceh looked like a different back. He stopped trying to wait for holes and recognized he could get strong in the legs and just move the pile. I think he went out on a real good note. We just have RBs right now that are really good where we don’t need him anymore. Wish the dude the best. Worked hard, great teammate, and much as we can bag on his play he was still part of our Super Bowl story. And knowing his recent mental health issues I hope he can use this time to get right

Wish him the best… but the Chiefs wasted a roster spot with him going back to the offseason when they just defaulted him into RB2 without looking to upgrade.

And Odell cleared waivers today too, hmmmmm.

Apparently Donald Rumsfeld once said "Going to war without France is like going duck hunting without an accordion."

The 2024 version of that quote is "Going to the Super Bowl without Clyde Edwards-Helaire is like going duck hunting without an accordion".

He was cut.

pray that he healed from his mental trauma.

I remember watching him at LSU and seeing how elusive he was. He was a legit playmaker. I was pumped when we drafted him. Unfortunately it never really translated to the NFL game.

He was productive until he had that hip injury against the Saints, all of his burst was gone after that.

The hip injury in his rookie season really seemed to derail him. Seems like it robbed him of some of his athleticism.

I definitely had hoped we'd use him a lot in the passing game, and for whatever reason that never materialized. He did manage 4.2 yards per carry over his career. He wasn't bad. It's actually eye-opening to me watching highlights of the last 2 seasons how many big plays he is in. Early part of 2022 there were a lot. A legit contributing member to 2 championship teams.

You had some good moments here, including 2 SB rings. (Maybe 3. Not sure how that’ll work when the Chiefs win this next SB.) Thank you & best of luck in life, sir.

Did he get his fully vested guaranteed thing from NFL now

ya you have to feel for him, he was going through some shit after having to kill another man in self defense.

Same. I thought he had the tools Andy would take advantage of with great success.

It’s that time of year. When the Chiefs get serious and basically get rid of all the dead weight. Frustrating as hell. Did should have never been given a second contract.

I thought that is what was going on. That really sucks. Hope he can get things right-what ever that may be.

True, although I’d still trust MEHHH over Steele in the playoffs with pass blocking and ball security.

I still like the guy. I hope he has a long and successful career doing anything else.

Best of luck and good fortune to you, GBC.

Hip injuries are bad news. If I remember correctly, Bo Jackson's downfall was a hip.

He loved being a Chief and was a great teammate. Won Bowls here and was helpful at times to the overall product. He will have a career in coaching or with the player’s union or something. Wish him well and since I’m not a weird unhappy prick, I have no animosity towards him.

I remember all of the gushing predictions when he was drafted. It's unfortunate that he didn't live up to those. He was serviceable for a few years, but it seemed to me that he lacked the top speed to ever be an elite back. Good luck to him going forward unless he plays for a strong AFC team. He seems like a genuinely good guy.

I think we're going to see a renaissance of running backs. Barkley and to a lesser extent Henry are showing that elite running backs have value. In the future, I think we could see the running back position fork in the draft like the quarterback position. Elite guys will go high, and non-elite guys will go in the mid-rounds.

Pretty sure we all know who that thumbs down was from. Wanya's bff. ROFL

Good friend of mine from ASU Paul Justin played long enough to get it. It was about $50k/yr pension and a medical plan iirc. Had to have either 4 or 5 years vested, can't remember which. Think it was 4.

Bo Jackson dislocated his femur from his hip while running due to the sheer power that he had, right? Not nearly the same thing

Right.....because shooting a duck is exactly like shooting a person.

Better make sure dilphag doesn't have your login credentials, this is next level stupid.

I've never been on the Chiefs Reddit page until today. The most upvoted comment on this story is someone referring to him as "KC Legend CEH". I don't think I'm ever going to go on that Reddit page again.

Yes and No.

Barkley and He Ty are the exceptions to the rule IMO. I still think teams will draft and discard running backs. Look at all the talent I. This years draft. You could get a damn good back in the 3rd round. Run the wheels off and repeat.

By all accounts CEH is a very fine human. He's been in nursing school and is inspired to help save lives.

Given how karma works, it won't surprise me at all if one day a CP member wakes up in an emergency room and sees CEH smiling down on him/her.

All the best to you Clyde!

Burt Varch still needs to take a final scythe to Skyy Moore though, right? Hopefully his fate is sealed as soon as he comes off IR.

Always hoped Clyde would somehow work out. Cheered for him when he played well. Sorry his career was cut short by PTSD. wish him only good things going forward.

He was never the same after the injury in New Orleans. That really seemed to change him. Best of luck in the future, unless you rejoin your LSU teammates with the Bengals.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! :thumb:

I agree with this and it is truly a shame. When we drafted him I had high hopes but that did not pan out. Best of luck to him and I pray he gets through his issues. Thank you for being a CHIEF. :thumb:

Can you confirm womble?

Is he better than Barry word

I remember a game where it seemed like not a single player could catch pass. Mahomes looked ready to kill someone after watching multiple drops. I can't remember if it was in the huddle or on the sideline, but CEH told Pat if he threw it to him he'd catch it. The next play was a reception for a big play.

That's probably the play I'll remember him for. The rest was just MEH

I saw where they likely did this to make room for Hollywood.

It’s a shame his career changed in that Saints game.

He looked like he could be really good prior to his injury.

I wish the guy all the luck in being able to find peace in his mind. He absolutely deserves that.

Patriots last year. Awesome catch in the back of the endzone.

This will sound crazy, but I was watching some highlights from our SB seasons, and he had quite a few long runs.

Nothing crazy, but he broke off a bunch of 15 to 25 yarders in the highlights.

If he didn't have to pick the hole, he was really good at getting through small gaps. But, his vision sucked and he was slow so even if he had a big hole, he was never going to run away from anyone.

If he just hadn't been a first round pick, his career may have been much better.

I wish the guy well he seems like a nice guy

Maybe he can eventually bounce back with another team

At least he never dropped the ball just before crossing the goal line like the world's dumbest running back Johnathan Taylor.


Best of luck to you CEH. Thanks for your contribution to winning us Bowl games.

I would bet that he is with Burrow & Co. next year!

If we 3peat everyone gets one as long as you were on the roster for some period I believe

I wish him the best, he should have gotten fat sooner, double wide clyde made some good plays

Hard to hate a former chief though

He rushed for 800 yards in 14 games and had two games over 125 yards. He was on his way to being pretty good before the injury.

Who will take his place on the GameDay inactive list?
