Kansas City Releases WR Eddie Kennison
Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Tuesday that the club has released veteran WR Eddie Kennison.
?For these past seven years Eddie Kennison has displayed his talents not only on the field, but off the field,? Peterson said. ?He?s been a fine performer in every way for the Chiefs organization. Both he and his wife, Shimika, have made numerous contributions to the Kansas City community and sought to help a multitude of people. On a personal note, I shall never forget the trip Eddie, myself and Dr. Jon Browne, our team physician, made to the Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC a summer ago. How gracious Eddie was in spending time with the wounded soldiers and how enthusiastic they were to receive him. It was an uplifting experience and very typical of Eddie. We wish him the best for the future.?
