There are only so many uniform numbers to go around on an NFL team, and each franchise right now has to come up with numbers for a 90-man roster, so no one is saying it’s anything wrong, necessarily, that the Kansas City Chiefs have already given away the uniform numbers of recently released star players. It’s just going to take some getting used to. That’s all.
Every Sunday for the last several years, Chiefs Kingdom is used to identifying and cheering for favorite defenders like No. 50 Justin Houston and No. 29 Eric Berry. This offseason, however, the defensive renovation forced out both players via release along with numerous other starters who have been released or traded.
