If it's love of the game, be a coach or something.

I agree. He was a great player when he was younger, but he's definitely lost a step, and it's not going to get any better, or easier, for him.

He needs to retire while he can still walk

Its sad to see guys like him and Hali go... but its time

Retire as lifelong Chiefs with your dignity intact guys, and you'll be living legends in KC the rest of your lives

And then returned the fumble for the epic miracle game winner. Best game I've ever seen out of a linebacker, and he did it when the lights were brightest.

Easy there, don't be sacrilegious. Don't ever compare another player to Sabs.

He can probably get a 2 year deal from someone

He’s done but someone will pay for his name

This. Let him continue to tutor Ragland, Eligwe, Eligwe and/or a draft pick.

JohnnyHammersticks 02-13-2018 02:51 PM

I think I'll remember DJ most for the 50,000 interceptions he dropped.

O.city 02-13-2018 02:52 PM

Maybe he doesn’t wanna coach?

Good move by the chiefs though. Go ahead and pull the Tamba band aid as well

Rain Man 02-13-2018 02:53 PM

So does this 100 percent mean that he's gone, or could the Chiefs sign him at a lower contract rate if he gets no takers? What are the odds of him coming back to KC?

DJ is a class act. Wish him well.

The same odds as Jamaal Charles after he was released last year

DaneMcCloud 02-13-2018 02:55 PM

Everyone knew this was coming but it still sucks to see DJ released.

As others have noted, dude, just please retire. You're old and slow and don't need the paycheck.

Enjoy your life.

The year he was drafted I was hoping so much we'd get him or Thomas Davis. The crazy thing is Davis was picked right before him and is also still playing.

The right pick would have been Aaron Rodgers, but still, great pick by KC. DJ will be in the ring of honor before long.

A true warrior. RIP.
