Kansas City Chiefs star who woke up unemployed from brutal roster cut sends emotional message after two Super Bowl wins

Following his cruel roster cut, two-time Super Bowl champion Clyde Edwards-Helaire delivered an emotional message to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The 25-year-old running back was released by the reigning champions on Monday, making him a free agent.

In 2020, Edwards-Helaire, a first-round selection from Louisiana State University, joined the Chiefs.

He ultimately made 56 appearances for the team.

When the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2022, Edwards-Helaire said it was the high point of his career.

In an exciting game, they defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.

However, when Edwards-Helaire led the Chiefs to a second consecutive Super Bowl victory in 2023, things took a turn for the better.

The historic triumph was achieved by defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25–22.

But after being fired this week, Edwards-Helaire is now searching for a new side.

And in a heartfelt social media statement, he paid a moving homage to his previous side.

Love ya, KC, Edwards-Helaire said. A family I didn’t realize I needed—you guys fulfilled the hopes of a Baton Rouge child!

It’s all love, Chiefs Kingdom, and I will always be grateful for the unwavering support you gave me during difficult times. With affection, Clydro.

Seeing one of their heroes go was undoubtedly upsetting to the fans.

One said: We love and appreciate you, and thank you for everything.

Another said: You will always have a place in Chiefs Kingdom, and your journey will always be remembered.

Noted: Thank you for what you did, forever a chief.

Another was added: Clyde, I will always wish you the best.
