Chiefs Release Jamaal Charles

[Rock Strongo]

In 2013 Kelce had a microfracture which basically knocked him out the entire regular and postseason. Still had Fasano- but yeah, Anthony Fasano.

2014 Kelce's snaps were deliberately limited coming off of microfracture.

2015 Charles tore his ACL.

2016 Charles tears his meniscus

gotcha.

interesting tho...trent greens best season was a 95.6 rating , for a 7-9 team
cassel had a 93 rating (career high) for a 10-5 team

Priest, Jamaal, foreman. Kansas City has had good luck with Longhorns, is Donta Foreman next?

I wouldn't mind. Just depends which round. West was exposed as an RB3 and Ware has not shown he can stick around a whole season at the same level of effectiveness yet.

 

[Black Adam]

A part of me really was hoping he'd restructure to chase the ring here one or two more times, but sadly it could not be. He's the most dynamic RB I've ever seen in person- and I'll swear on that.

well i've seen a couple more wear Chiefs red, but i've been following them for a TAD longer...

I wouldn't rule it out at all.

You basically have 2 RBs in the upcoming draft that the Chiefs have no chance on then about 10-15 other draftable guys. The only RB I'd cross off is Joe Mixon because at some point the Chiefs would draw too much negative attention.

I think he'd be a good fit in New England. They have quite a few runningbacks to split carries and Jamaal would be incredible in the passing game. That said, I don't think the Pats would be willing to do that with James White on the roster who is a younger more healthy option... especially after that SBOWL performance.

I could see Charles winding up in Philly or Indy. Both teams need runningbacks with some threat on 3rd down and Irsay is the kind of dork that would spend a ton of money on Charles.

You nailed it... Patriots won't do it since they have White. Don't forget Lewis

There is a lot of rumbling about Charles to Philly, but I think Charles might be ready for the glue factory. I'd be leery of my team signing him to a contract. It better have a lot of out clauses.

The Giants are also in the market for a RB

agreed. no way i'd trust his legs after the injuries he's suffered the last 4-5 years.

Chiefs are releasing RB Jamaal Charles, per source.

Adrian Peterson will be an unrestricted free agent.

Not much interest for over the hill RB's.

 

[NWPATSFAN]

Different style back than theg'rs used to but Seattle may be a fit?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

who is the RBs for the Texans?

well Charles could go to a team like the Texans who are close (if they get a QB)

 

[cdumler7]

Not a great year to be an older RB hitting the market. This is considered one of the best RB classes in a long time so cheaper/younger options available in the draft. I don't think these guys hitting the open market will get what they are hoping for as teams just won't want to spend big when they know they can get a comparable player in April.

I do feel for Charles as he actually is one of the rival players I respect quite a bit. Great player when healthy and has done it without having to broadcast how great he is.

Great player, the recent stretch of injuries and of course having to make big payouts to other players made him expendable at his price tag.

You would think he would've restructured to stay...doubtful he will make even the restructured money on a new team unless he can show he's 100% back.

I must be missing the context.

Cassel inherited one of the most talented teams of all time in NE and Green had a Swiss cheese defense when he went 7-9
