On Sunday, the Chiefs released linebacker Justin Houston. On Wednesday — minutes after the new league year began at 3 p.m. Arrowhead Time — the Chiefs released safety Eric Berry.
And just like that, head coach Andy Reid completed his transformation of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Houston and Berry were the last players who remained from the 2012 Chiefs team that finished the season 2-14 — tied for the worst record in franchise history and arguably the worst team the Chiefs ever fielded.
To say that, we’re making exceptions for ageless punter Dustin Colquitt — simply because he’s a kicker, and kickers always get exceptions — as well as defensive tackle Allen Bailey, who is a free agent and is unlikely to return in 2019.
