Maybe Clyde Edwards-Helaire Can Help Going Forward (1 Viewer)

KC is a good franchise and if they thought that MVS and CEH were valuable pieces, then they would still be on their roster. These guys were picked up off the streets during the season and will not be meaningful help for next year. Maybe they can be third RB and WR at best.

That's a very simple way of looking at it. MVS's inability to catch has caused him to bounce around teams, but his size/speed always lands him with a job. He filled a need for us this season, but I'm not sure I would want to go into 2025 with him as one of our top 3-5 WRs. I only see him as a Big Z and someone to stretch the field and take the top off a defense. If he gets in his head and starts dropping balls, teams stop respecting that speed and let him go.

CEH is a young and talented player with 1st round draft capital. It's becoming more known about what he suffers from and is getting help. IIRC, him being released from KC was mutual so coming home could be the support system he needs to get his career back on track. CEH knows what it's like to play for winning teams having won a National Championship on the best college football team ever and also winning Super Bowls with KC. Having a guy like that in the RB room who is young and talented, is a good thing. Is he RB1, no, but is a a weapon at RB, absolutely and we need young talent and weapons.

no one is saying we think he'll be a pro bowl hall of fame player, we are just saying he could be a serviceable player in our backfield. we thought Jamal Williams would be a great number 2 with the numbers he put up in Detroit, but it never happened even when given the change to be the number 1 . so that thought process isn't really reliable .

I remember having this same discussion when the Saints signed Jamal Williams and people thought he would be a meaningful contributor based on his high TD rate the previous season. I didn’t think he would do anything based on the fact that he was coming from a great running team with a good OL and they decided to move on from him.

he is the one who shot and killed the guy to save his teammate (and himself). then to top it off, during the Chiefs Superbowl parade last year, someone opened fire in the crowd and CEH shielded a child while it was happening..

Thanks. I had never seen it confirmed that it was CEH who had to shoot and I didn't know about the Super Bowl parade incident.

I think Clyde could be good here. I see him filling some of the Pierre roll especially in the screen game.
