Clyde Edwards-Helaire Sends Out Message On Social Media After Being Waived By The Chiefs

by Staff Reporter

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

The Kansas City Chiefs waived former LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on Monday. Per Yahoo:

quote:
Edwards-Helaire had a standout rookie season with Kansas City in 2020. He tallied 1,100 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns as the featured back for a Chiefs team that went 13-1 in a COVID-shortened campaign and advanced to the Super Bowl won by Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Edwards-Helaire played three more seasons with the Chiefs and won Super Bowls in each of the last two seasons. But his role and his production dwindled in each season after his rookie campaign, and he lost his starting job in 2022 to then-rookie Isiah Pacheco.

The Chiefs placed Edwards-Helaire on the non-football illness list Sept. 2 ahead of their season opener, and he has not played in a game this season. Edwards-Helaire previously announced on July 29 the he's been living with PTSD.

Here was the farewell message that Edwards-Helaire sent out on Monday evening:

But why? The dude has NOTHING left in the tank, and he’s only 25!

Go to the Bengals

Friendly Satan•6 months

No disrespect to CEH, but I forgot he was in the league.

Someone is going to pick up a quality back with a lot of tread on the tires.

Pas Bon•6 months

Transfer back to LSU now

The shoestring catch on third down in the 4th quarter was the play of the game. If they don't convert that first down, could have been a different outcome.

bapple•6 months

Most people forget how crucial that was. Bama was getting all the momentum and Clyde took it right back.

Lsu101205•6 months

I am going to rewatch the 2019 Bama game so I can watch Clyde take over again. Was something special.

BeachTiger2018•6 months

that spin move was unreal

Saunson69•6 months

That and he threw off Bama defenders who probaly weighed 40 lbs more than him when he had no momentum really going forward. 2x. To get in endzone on bottom of screen play

Another great person molded at BR Catholic High School

Like Guice

Whatever happened to Guice?

Class act

Mr Happy•6 months

One of my all time favorite Tigers. A true class act.

He is reportedly no worth $5 million. Decent investments will keep him living a great life. Good kid.

Hangit•6 months

now, not no

BeachTiger2018•6 months

a Clydro's Wing House in BR would kill

cas4t•6 months

There’s still a chance he lands somewhere too. If he wants, I’m sure. He may not be RB1 anymore but he’s certainly talented enough to be in the NFL.

We'll always have the Bama game. I'll always remember the time he shot a dude who was trying to steal his PlayStation, and then two weeks later played in the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl.

Unfortunately, so will he. That's where PTSD came from

Get well, young man. Wish you the best

Needs to be a Dallas cowboy

cypresstiger•6 months

Why would you wish that on CEH? He’s been thru enough trauma.

MasterKnight•6 months

If he needs to go to another team, let it be Cincy. He can be the third down back and another option for Joe.

Akit1•6 months

That final touchdown against Bama. Take me back.

JYD•6 months

2019 stats:
215 rushes

What a season! :bow:

chalupa•6 months

“ 1 receiving TD”

Wasn’t that the wheel route against Bama right before half?

CajunBullet•6 months

Correct and for a TD!

Contender54•6 months

He was also one hell of a pass blocker.

He's perhaps my favorite LSU player of all time.

Good dude.

chRxis•6 months

damn, seems kinda shitty by KC, but i don't know the whole story, as far as their reasoning, either...

FishinTygah84•6 months

Love CEH but he has been a non factor for years. They even did him a solid by keeping him on this year but it was time to move on.

Boomdaddy65201•6 months

“They even did him a solid by keeping him on this year but it was time to move on.”
Highly respected by teammates, Big Red & coaching staff, & team management. Not only is he eligible for full NFL retirement package, but NFL pension with 3 full years on an active NFL roster.
My buddy & former teammate got his and it’s a hell of a package to have in your back pocket as a 30 y.o..

Big Scrub TX•6 months

One of my all time favorite Tigers - even moreso with him coming public with his mental health struggles.
