Chiefs waive ex-first-round pick Clyde Edwards-Helaire

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs on Monday waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, a former first-round draft pick who had fallen well down their depth chart.

Edwards-Helaire had hinted at the move in a message posted to X.

"Love ya KC!'' Edwards-Helaire wrote. "A family I didn't know I needed, y'all made a Kid from Baton Rouge dreams come true!

"To Chiefs Kingdom , its all love and the support I had in troubling times will forever be unmatched from you guys! With love!''

Edwards-Helaire, who hasn't played this season, was the fifth of five running backs on the Chiefs' roster, with Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele being the others.
