Clyde Edwards-Helaire’s time with the Kansas City Chiefs is over.

ESPN’s Field Yates reported Monday that the AFC West team has waived the running back. Edwards-Helaire then took to social media to post a farewell message expressing his love for the fans and the city, as well as his appreciation for “the support I had during difficult times.”

This move could free up a spot on the roster for wide receiver Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, who is Work he’s coming back from a shoulder injury.

While Edwards-Helaire was a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, he has not played a game this season and was behind Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Carson Steele and Samaje Perine on the depth chart at times.

Even when Pacheco was sidelined with a broken fibula, the Chiefs turned to the other running backs for the LSU product.

Kansas City had classified him as a healthy player recently, including for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

There was a time when Edwards-Helaire was a key part of the team’s offensive attack. As a rookie in 2020, he posted 1,100 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns, although he saw a decline in his usage as his career progressed.

After 181 carries in 2020, Edwards-Helaire finished 2021 with 119 carries, 71 carries in 2022 and 70 carries in 2023. He was buried on the Chiefs’ roster this season and was never able to get on the field for playing time .

Now he will turn his attention to a possible next opportunity after ending his time with the team that drafted him with two Super Bowl rings.
