The Kansas City Chiefs had a rough first day of NFL Free agency. They lost 5 starters within the first two hours of the new NFL season, including three starting players along the offensive line. Ouch.

With the loss of these 5 players, the 2014 season suddenly has big question marks written all over it. As of now, logic says the Chiefs starting offensive line going into this season looks like this, Stephenson LT, Allen LG, Kush C, Hudson RG, Fisher RT. Rodney Hudson has played guard in both college and the NFL during his rookie season with the Chiefs. That could be a smooth transition that works out nicely if that is in fact what the Chiefs decide to do.

It also seems that the Chiefs are prepared to make a youth movement and start relying on their drafted talent. Fine by me, as its proven to be the best philosophy to achieving longevity in the NFL, but it also means that 2014 is potentially a “re-building” year, something Chiefs fans don’t want to hear.

Anyway, before I get too far off the topic, I wanted to give a solid farewell to the Chiefs players that were  lost in the madness they call NFL free agency. A good ol’ fashion, KCKingdom farewell!
