Good luck to Emmitt going forward. He was one of the heroes of my youth.

I'm guessing Emmitt doesn't social media.

Did you know Burruss is the only Chief to ever be the Mack Lee Hill Award winner - rookie of the year- (1981), the team’s MVP (1985) and a member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame (1999)?

I was so pissed when they let Lloyd Burruss go. One of my all time favorite Chiefs and the first time I ever got mad at the team.

I nominate J. C. Pearson

So long Emmitt. Still always imagine the number 18 when I hear his name.

Actually Jayice isnt a bad pick he is pretty knowledgeable.

Where is Reggie Tongue now days? Gary Green? Bennie Thompson?

Anyway I wish Emmitt a long well deserved retirement. I also hope he went out of his own accord. I hate the thought of one of the chiefs greats being fired. I read long ago that Emmitt ran a 4.4 40 if so impressive. Also old coaches said he was as fast in pads as in shorts. Thats something if true considering the gear was big and heavy then.

Dang, and our defensive backs were doing so well.. William Bartee available? Would be a great steal.

That's good news. As good as hiring Spagnuolo and House.
Hopefully he will be replaced by someone who can teach the DB's how to tackle.

Reggie Tounge come to teach people how to lay licks.

I'm glad they let him retire. He's an all-time great Chief.

It's sad to see the last link to the Chiefs of my youth leave, but it's time. One of the greatest CBs of all time and a master of the bump and run. Didn't Kevin Ross HC the Arena League team we had in KC a few years back? Now just bring in DJ to coach the LBs.

Jamell Fleming anyone?
