TWO-TIME Super Bowl winner Clyde Edwards-Helaire has sent an emotional message to the Kansas City Chiefs after his brutal roster cut.
The running back, 25, is now a free agent after being let go by the defending champs on Monday. Edwards-Helaire joined the Chiefs in 2020 as a first-round pick from Louisiana State University. And he ended up making 56 appearances for the side. Edwards-Helaire thought the highlight of his career had come in 2022 when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl.
They beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in a thrilling encounter. But things got even better in 2023 when Edwards-Helaire helped the Chiefs to a second straight Super Bowl win. A 25-22 victory over the San Francisco 49ers secured the historic victory.
However, Edwards-Helaire is now on the hunt for a new side after he was given the boot this week. And he paid an emotional tribute to his former side in a touching post on social media. Edwards-Helaire said: “Love ya KC! A family I didn’t know I needed, ya’ll made a kid from Baton Rouge’s dreams come true! “To Chiefs Kingdom, it’s all love and the support I had in troubling times will be forever unmatched from you guys. With love, Clydro.”
Fans were certainly upset to see one of their heroes leave. One said: “Thanks for everything, we love and appreciate you.” Another declared: “Chiefs kingdom will always be a place for you and the journey you went on will never be forgotten.” One noted: “Forever a chief, thanks for everything you did.” Another added: “I will always hope for the best for you Clyde.”
