The Kansas City Chiefs have cut receiver Eddie Kennison today. Kennison had played the last seven seasons in KC after stops in St. Louis, New Orleans, Chicago and Denver.
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound receiver played in 91 games for the Chiefs, catching 321 passes for 5,230 yards and 25 touchdowns. He had 1,000-yard receiving seasons in 2004 and 2005, joining Carlos Carson as the only players in Chiefs history to accomplish that feat.
The Chiefs are trying to get younger and ditching the 35-year old receiver is a start. Last year, Kennison played in just eight games, catching 13 passes.
Remember that in 2001, he had requested to be released by the Denver Broncos just eight games into the season. He told the team that he lost the love for the game and he wanted to retire. Um, except that three weeks later, he ended up signing with the Chiefs, a rival of the Broncos, which pissed off Denver head coach Mike Shanahan.

As Favre retires, Peterson salivates. Going to the well in the latest in last-ditch efforts, Carl Peterson's specialty, Brett Favre is added to the series of Medicare-ready QBs to be approached by the team's GM. The only thing left to determine is whether Favre will consider it an honor or an insult to be listed among graybeards: DeBerg, Moon, and Montana. Says Peterson, "If I could just get George Blanda to return my calls, my job would be done here."
C'mon, George... do us a favor!
