The Kansas City Chiefs have waived running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, freeing up a roster spot as the 2024-25 season approaches its conclusion. The 2020 first-round pick has gone unclaimed and is now a free agent after a five-year tenure with the team marked by struggles to meet expectations.

Despite his challenges, including battles with mental health issues, Edwards-Helaire made a significant impact during his time in Kansas City. Head coach Andy Reid expressed appreciation for his contributions and left the door open for a potential future reunion.
