Chiefs release MVS (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=352546)

Dude has 2 rings in 2 years...not many guys can say that. He'll get a gig somewhere, prolly with the Jets or something. He'll be fine...and we'll roll on without him cuz except for some critical shit in the playoffs, he was pretty awful this season.

The Sammy Watkins and Kadarious Toney of Super Bowl 58

Stepped up HUGE in the most dire moments!! Dude is a 2x champ and has his place cemented in the lore of KC's hay day. I'll never forget that TD he had against Cincy in the AFCCG. I was stunned in that moment.

Another playoff legend who will forever be a Chief.

Thanks MVS!!

Nailed it.

Really appreciate that he stepped up when it mattered. Including last year in the playoffs against the Bengals when he was the only healthy WR we had.

I appreciate the playoff and Super Bowl moments, hope he catches on (no pun intended) with another team and makes more money.

This was a given, but I'd take him back at a much lower number. If not, he performed when it counted. Best of luck, MVS.

Even if he had an average year, most of us thought this 3rd year was fluff and he would be cut when he signed the contract. He game up big in the playoffs and I thank him for that...

He obviously had some struggles during the regular season but when we needed him in the playoffs, he was there. And that was a strange theme for the guy over his 2 years here.

If he comes back at/near the vet minimum after a market doesn't develop for him, I won't be upset about it. If he goes somewhere and gets $6-8 million next season, that won't bother me either.

We'll have ultimately paid $18 million for 2 years of MVS (spread over 3 years of cap). Not a great return on that but hell, we've spent more money on worse. Hope he lands somewhere next year and finds a groove. How many HoF quarterbacks are there left in the league for him to disappoint?

Is he gonna go to Buffalo to replace Davis? I'd take Allen over any other QB in the league right now so that's gotta be his play. Dude's taste in QBs is pristine...

That's a great point. Every starting QB he's had is a first ballot HOF guy.

Was he overpaid? Sure, but what would you have paid for the contributions he made in the AFCCGs and the SB in hindsight, if we'd lost those games?

Chiefs will almost certainly have a new starting WR opposite Rice who isn't currently on the roster.

Even though it seemed like he was invisible for a lot of his time here, MVS was involved in a lot of the best plays of the lsat two years.

He made a ton of good plays...the catch in the 4th quarter against Baltimore, touchdowns in the super bowl, etc. However, he was infurating at times too - no moreso than when he ran backwards in the Super Bowl instead of just getting tackled near the 1st down marker. Mahomes had to pull one out just to keep that game tying drive going.
