    Default chiefs cut breaston and boss

    A couple of veteran pieces in the Chiefs’ passing game are being sent packing from Kansas City.
    The Chiefs announced today that they have released wide receiver Steve Breaston and tight end Kevin Boss.
    After showing promise as a big-play receiver early in his career with the Cardinals, Breaston signed a five-year, $23 million contract with the Chiefs in 2011. But Breaston was just OK in 2011, with 61 catches for 785 yards, and in 2012 he was largely phased out of the offense, catching just seven passes for 74 yards.
    Still, Breaston is a 29-year-old who has talent, and he’ll have suitors in free agency. A logical landing spot could be Pittsburgh: That’s Breaston’s hometown, the Steelers are likely to look for a receiver after Mike Wallace signs elsewhere, and Breaston was a favorite of Todd Haley, who coached him in both Arizona and Kansas City and is now the Steelers’ offensive coordinator.
    Boss has been a starter for both the Giants and the Raiders and was expected to be a starter for the Chiefs as well, but he played in just two games for the Chiefs last season before being lost for the season with a concussion. His future is uncertain.

    The thing with WR is that they need to have chemistry with the QB, so you can't expect a good WR will be good with another QB instantly. But is a pretty sure thing that we won't be using a QB now on the roster, so you can change all the WR corps.
    Totally different with the OL or defense, they need chemistry, and know each other.

    Don't think Breaston wanted to stay after this past year where he couldn't even get playing time because "he didn't show an understanding of the offense" Boss the injury did him in his time was to short

    Still can't believe Crennel said that. And then repeated it while clarifying himself.

    I understand losing Boss, but I think we should've kept Breaston, in case a deal with Bowe falls through. I just don't see Baldwin doing much, based on his previous seasons.

    Its not like we saw any effort from Breaston, and he didnt help the chiefs in any way last season. I say good riddence. We need effort at the very least. Sure not all this was his fault but if you really want to play, you put out some kind of an effort and he did not do that.
