But the fact that he is losing his top end speed, combined with missing time for substance abuse violations and the development of the youngsters means that the time is right to move on without him.

Bashaud Breeland ran a 4.62 at his 2014 combine. At his Clemson Pro Day, he was able to improve to a 4.57, so not speedy.
Bashaud has said in interviews his success is being a physical corner. He is going to bump, pull, tug, grab, and that will sometimes get penalties. Last year Breeland was penalized 13 times for such things as illegal use of hands, illegal contact, defensive holding, and of course defensive pass interference.
I think Bashaud Breeland is still a good football player and could help the Chiefs, so I would like for the Chiefs to re-sign him.
As you imply, the Chiefs may have decided it is time to move on.
Side note - What horrific injury, his foot that got infected?
