Running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire has officially been released by the Kansas City Chiefs<\/strong>. The unexpected announcement came directly from the player himself via his X account on Monday afternoon, just minutes before the team confirmed the decision.<\/p>\n

“Love ya KC<\/strong>! A family I didn’t know I needed, y’all made a kid from Baton Rouge’s<\/strong> dreams come true!” Edwards-Helaire<\/strong> wrote in his emotional post. He also expressed gratitude to Chiefs <\/strong>fans, saying, “To Chiefs Kingdom<\/strong>, it’s all love, and the support I had in troubling times will forever be unmatched!”<\/p>\n

The 2020 first-round pick, who played a key role during the Chiefs<\/strong>‘ championship runs in Super Bowl LVII and LVIII, had not seen the field in 2024 due to falling down the team’s depth chart. Despite being activated from the Reserve\/Non-Football Illness list in October, he didn’t record a single snap this season.<\/p>\n

\"Clyde<\/p>\n

A promising start turned rocky journey<\/h2>\n

Edwards-Helaire<\/strong> entered the NFL <\/strong>with high expectations after a standout collegiate career at LSU<\/strong>, where he was a vital part of the historic 2019 Tigers<\/strong> team that included Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase<\/strong>, and Justin Jefferson<\/strong>. Selected as the 32nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft<\/strong>, he burst onto the scene with a stellar rookie season, recording career highs in rushing yards, touchdowns, and receptions.<\/p>\n

However, his trajectory shifted as injuries and inconsistent performances plagued subsequent seasons. A knee injury in 2021 and increased competition from rookie standout Isiah Pacheco<\/strong> in 2022 further limited his opportunities. By the 2023 season, Kansas City<\/strong> had declined his fifth-year option, signaling uncertainty about his future with the team.<\/p>\n

Though Edwards-Helaire<\/strong> re-signed with the Chiefs <\/strong>in the offseason, his role continued to diminish, ultimately leading to his release. Over his four-year NFL <\/strong>career, he has accumulated 1,845 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, and 765 receiving yards with seven receiving touchdowns.<\/p>\n

What’s next for Edwards-Helaire?<\/h2>\n

As of now, no NFL <\/strong>teams have been publicly linked to Edwards-Helaire<\/strong>, leaving his next move uncertain. At just 24 years old, the talented running back still has time to reignite his career. His farewell to Kansas City<\/strong> marks the end of a chapter filled with both triumph and challenges.<\/p>\n

For Chiefs <\/strong>fans, Edwards-Helaire’s <\/strong>contributions to two Super Bowl<\/strong> victories will remain part of the team’s storied history, even as the running back looks toward a fresh start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
