Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke candidly on a recent KC cut.

Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught the entire NFL community by surprise when he announced his release from the organization on December 16.

The following afternoon on December 17, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid brought up Edwards-Helaire’s departure while speaking with reporters, and he had a brief candid message for the recent KC cut.

“We sure appreciated Clyde too, for all he did here,” Reid noted on Tuesday of Week 16. “Love to get him back sometime too… what a great kid he is.”

To be clear, this reaction was not very typical of Reid. For starters, the Chiefs HC never usually gets too deep into roster moves or public farewells in front of the media.

Secondly, Reid addressed Edwards-Helaire’s release on his own. He first referenced it after a question on the status of potential injury returnee Hollywood Brown and veteran CB signing Steven Nelson.

“You know, we released Clyde,” Reid said. “So, we have a spot available, [and] we’ve got these injuries that we’re juggling here, so we just got to see how that goes before we move somebody up or down, or whatever [general manager Brett] Veach wants to do.”
