Which numbers should be unretired by the Chiefs
Pretty straightforward question here that comes from the other thread about the Chiefs basically running out of usable numbers.

If you unretire one of them, you unretire all of them.

There is a definite argument for that, but I was thinking more along the lines of most if not all of their career and a HOF player then their number could stay retired.

Retiring numbers is for teams without a history of success. Eventually you run out of numbers if you have any reasonable amount of players worth retiring jerseys.
Chiefs have enough players that it is blocking far too many numbers, and that's just going to grow over time. Ring of honor and free up all those numbers.

Stone Johnson for me is the most obvious. If I was just picking one.

Retired numbers are dumb except for extremely rare circumstances.
I think it's fair to say #58 should never be worn by a Chief again considering DT being the best player in franchise history combined with the circumstances surrounding his death. Every other number should be fair game IMO. |

Only numbers that should be retired are Len Dawson, Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Derrick Thomas, Buck Buchanan and Patrick Mahomes.

The only people that should have their numbers retired are HOF players. Death doesn't = retired number
You're telling me someone can't wear number 33 because Stone Johnson, a rookie that died in training camp wore it. Death doesn't mean retired number. 33 Stone Johnson 36 Mack Lee Hill Those 2 did not earn shit |

Jan Stenerud. He was only a kicker.

My pick. Also chocked the Miami double overtime game away.
