kkuenn 3,608 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Running back Charcandrick West was released by the Chiefs after he missed most of training camp because of a concussion. The arrival of free agent RB Damien Williams and emergence of undrafted rookie RB Darrel Williams made West expendable. He led the Chiefs in rushing in 2015 after they lost Jamaal Charles early in the season with a knee injury. per Teicher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAChiefsFan79 136 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Well, I was wrong on this one. I thought they would keep him simply because of his experience and ability to pass block. One of the reasons he stuck around as long as he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Damien Williams is an excellent pass blocker, better receiver and better rusher. I figured West was a goner. Probably giving him time to catch on somewhere else by doing it this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesebobby 5,663 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I wish him well. He did some nice things for us occasionally. But you can find backs of his ability on pretty much every street corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Andy cutting bait with one of his favorites is a pretty big deal but as Reesebobby said these types of RBs are a dime a dozen. Wish the kid well. Was a pretty average player but stepped up in 2015 when we needed him. I'll best remember him for that long catch and run TD in our first win in Denver in many years. Bears and Colts seem like a logical spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
