Chiefs Release Huard, Edwards and Merritt, Too

Just a little bit we ago we learned that the Chiefs released veteran Patrick Surtain. We thought veteran Donnie Edwards might be close behind him.
Turns out it wasn't just Edwards that was cut.
The Chiefs released quarterback Damon Huard, cornerback Patrick Surtain and linebacker Donnie Edwards today. Also released was tight end Mike Merritt.
None of these moves are much of a surprise for those who have been following the Chiefs offseason.
- Damon Huard was signed to a 3 year, $7.5 million contract extension by former GM Carl Peterson two seasons ago. (Interesting note about Huard from Rotoworld: "Turning 36, Huard could follow his younger brother Brock to TV." Brock and Damon? On TV?) He will immediately become a free agent and free to sign with any team.
- Donnie Edwards was due $5 million in 2009 and his release will free up $4.5 million in salary cap space for the Chiefs. He will immediately become a free agent and free to sign with any team.
- Michael Merritt, if you'll remember, brought us this great quote just a few short weeks ago: "All this for a little bit of weed?" You can figure out the rest. Because he's not a fully vested veteran (4 years of service), Merritt will have to pass through the waiver wire before he's free to sign with any team.
Over $10 million in cap space freed up today. Not bad at all, Mr. Pioli.

So we freed up
About 6 million from Surtain
About 5 million from Edwards
About 2 million? from Huard
What would you guys do with 13 million dollars? Hmmm…

DISAPPROVE!
Bullshit on two levels. First, that Merrit lost his job over a little ganja. He wasn’t some Bam Morris Mr Kaliman dealer, he was just trying to self medicate. In an era where states are considering legalization to combat there mounting budget deficits, people still lose there job over the ganja. Shame on all of us for allowing this persecution for too long.
Second, I love me some Old Man Huard. Old school Pac10 baller. Is he good? Nothing special. I just love the idea of having some salt and pepper on the sidelines.
by HIV 2 Elway on Feb 24, 2009 6:19 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Actually
He lost his job because he was a nearly-anonymous 7th round blocking tight end who contributed nothing at all to the team last year and who is probably facing a suspension from the league for weed. It’s not tough to find a replacement. Whether we’re pro-legalization or not (and I am) it’s the NFL, not the ACLU…the Chiefs probably aren’t interested in making political statements if it means burning a roster spot for a week or two on a marginal player already under league scrutiny.
And I like Huard too, but I think it’s time to move on. Nothing against the man and he did his best, but he’s not part of the future here.

Ok
I would have loved to have seen Trent Green stick around with the Chiefs to do some QB coaching but we sent him packing….Now I wish the Chiefs would have kept Huard in a similar fashion. He is a great guy and has great experience playing on different teams including Pioli’s Patriots at one time. I think him and Donnie Edwards both should be retained as consultants or something of that nature….that is IF they are done playing. Heck, Huard has spent as much on the sideline in his career then most coaches in the NFL today…lol.
by Matt_Grbac on Feb 24, 2009 6:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I dont know about that
but I will say this. He is one of the finest backups in the game. When Green went down a few years ago, he won a bunch of games for us in style. If they had let him play in the playoffs after Green came back, that might have been a different game… Nah we still would have lost.
by Chiefsfan1970 on Feb 24, 2009 8:59 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Have to give them the opportunity
I agree that I’d like to see Huard as a QB Coach and Edwards as a LB assistant, but you have to release them and give them the opportunity to be picked up by another team first. I think they would have to officially retire, prior to hiring as a coach or assistant. I hope the same happens with Gonzo upon his retirement. With him as our Receivers and TE Coach, we would be set for a long time.

I hadn’t even thought of picking up Edwards as an LB coach, but think it’s genius. He was always one of the best prepared and most cerebral LBs in the game. He might make one heck of a coach.

I remember Huard came in 2006 and lead us to the playoffs after Trent green was knocked out. He pulled a DeBerg type year….journeyman who made a comeback, but then I also remember him earlier this year getting pulled and faking the wrong injury because the coaching staff told him to.
Denver Sucks!!!!!
by Major Tom on Feb 24, 2009 7:10 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Exactly
Damon was a good player, but he was more the manager QB. He NEEDED the run game in order for him to do good. I always like Damon but his time has passed, he’s getting old and the chiefs are going in a different direction so the time has come for him to leave. Same with Donnie Edwards, he’s just a little too old for this team.
by Bearson on Feb 25, 2009 1:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yup
I thought Damon did a decent job here and handled the situation as well as anyone could. He didn’t bitch and complain, despite getting very little respect from management (after putting up the best numbers of any of our QBs)…he just showed up and did his job and took his beating every time the team put him out there to replace whichever ineffective QB management decided to love more (Green or Croyle). But he’s gotten to the point of his career where he doesn’t fit where the Chiefs are going and it’s time to move on, so best of luck to him.

As the third stringer
he can still help the defense improve. He wasn’t a terrible QB, just fragile. In practice the D can’t hit him and he’ll have the chance to throw some some passes at them to make them better.

by ChiefDJ on Feb 24, 2009 9:32 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
True
but I guess my point was the guy isn’t completely worthless and we pay him next to nothing anyway. Since we dropped Huard, I think we still have the chance to draft a QB and let him and Thigs fight it out for the starting spot. That gives us our numbers 1 and 2. The other two QBs we have are Croyle and Grey and I think Croyle would help in practice more than Grey would.

Seriously
We went down this path on many threads last season. Some of us still have faith in Croyle and I think that tohose that don’t like Croyle are being blinded not seeing the forest for the trees. I’m not going to re-hash all of my old arguments, but Croyle is capable and has the abilities to be better than most of the QBs people are salivating over in the draft. Keep him on, and see what he can do. Same with Grey. Who knows what they can do? Croyles injuries were flukish in my opinion, and with a good solid line to protect him and an offensive plan to use him, he will be productive.

Easy call by the new GM/HC but shows that if you do not act up to what is expected standard you are gone. Hope it is a wake up call to the young guys that populate the bottom half of the roster. Fully realize that a situational ethic will likely exist for the ‘stars’ on the team but still like the example.
As for Huard, Surtain and Edwards. Actually was hoping they might try to trade Huard for most anything. Jets and Titans (depending on Collins situation) might have given a bags of balls or better for him. All were obviously done. Too slow, too injury prone, too hightly paid.

Read An Article About Him Last Year
Apparently he’d never planned on having an NFL career to begin with. He was actually doing his rehab on his broken leg (which he injured in the bowl game his senior year) with the intention of becoming a fireman (a job he’d always wanted) and was getting ready for the testing until his coach convinced him to give the NFL a shot. So basically, he made a nice chunk of change that’s probably a couple of years worth of salary as a fireman doing a job he had never seriously planned on for a year, and now he can just get on with his life with some extra cash in his pocket.
Not bad for a year’s work…and according to the article he’s actually a pretty decent guy (and I don’t give a shit about weed anyway) so best of luck to him as far as I’m concerned.

All That
For just a little bit of weed?
Seriously, that’s just insane. I’ve known a lot of people in my life who were rabidly anti-drug (meaning they equated all drugs with pure evil…except for whatever drug they chose to use, of course) and they all fell into one of three camps…reformed addicts who wanted the government to legislate against their own vices, the woefully ignorant who devoted no serious thought to the issue and just followed along with whatever their favorite pundit told them to think, or social fascists who thought that other people were too stupid to make smart decisions with their lives (unlike themselves, of course) and who think they therefore have a right to forcibly impose their own decisions on others.
It’s weird, but thinking on it, I don’t think that any of my best friends are pro-War on Drugs…at least not fanatically so. And I say it’s weird because it’s not like that’s a quality I actively seek out in people and I don’t use drugs myself so it’s not like I’m in their crosshairs personally. I just haven’t been able to stand the “drug warriors” I’ve run across in my life…except for family members, of course, but then you’re pretty much stuck with them. :)

Ths Cities are so scared of lawsuits
example, a guy comes in on Monday who was smoking dope over the weekend and drives the firetruck and it gets hit or hits someone. It is a lot of BS and I agree with you on most points. We have a problem with the “random” drug testing because all City employees who may have occasion to operate a City vehicle do not have to do any drug testing. Only the Fire and Police Depts are made once a month to participate.

I'm Fine With Punishing People Who Commit Accidents While Driving Impaired
But the anti-drug nuts don’t get that laws only work well when they’re punitive in nature…they don’t function well when being used as a preventative tool. Mainly because the people most likely to commit criminal acts are also the people least likely to care about the laws in the first place, but also because those laws create so many unintended consequences (e.g. drug cartels, primary funding for terrorist groups, public corruption) that are worse than what they were designed to prevent (e.g. junkies and stoned drivers).
And that’s pretty hypocritical regarding only police and fire getting tested. If they’re going to make it an issue for you guys simply because you’re driving vehicles, they should make it an issue for all city employees who operate city vehicles. I’m no fan of government drug testing, but I’m even less of a fan of double standards. Although I’ll concede the right of government to do drug testing on their own employees (same as I’ll concede the right of any private employer to drug test their employees as a condition of employment).

Why is Huard cut but not Quinn Gray?
It’s got to be about saving cap space. Perhaps Pioli said he could stay for a paycut. Huard could’ve said “I can find backup money elsewhere in the league”. Thus, they both agree to go their separate ways.
I kind of wish he would’ve stayed…. he’d be a great 3rd string or even backup if the Chiefs could find a trade partner for Thigpen. He won just as many games at QB as Thigpen did with a lot less starts.
Why is Quinn Gray still on the team? That guy couldn’t even make a roster last year out of training camp and looked pretty out of shape.

Thankyou Huard and Edwards For your service to our team. Croyle is not just taking up a roster spot. Pioli, you remember that guy right? You remember heolped build a dynasty in NE and recently became GM for our Chiefs? He must be an idiot too. After all I am sure some blogger on the site knows better what to do with Croyle than him. Better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you an Idiot than open it and confirm it!

Donnie Edwards
I hope Donnie retires. He’s had a great career, and I’d like for him to retire as a Chief. Carl never should have let him go, and overpaid him to come back when it was too late, but still, a great career.

Just my .02
but anyone think that maybe they’re freeing up cap room to purchase an ACTUAL QBoTF in this years first round of the draft? The #3 is going to command a helluva lot of money, and there’s a chance that Curry will be gone, and there will certainly be one of the two top-flight QB’s on the board when the Chiefs select.
I’m thinking this offloading and cap freeing could mean Sanchez/Stafford will be sporting the red and gold.
All I have to say is "Thank you, Clark."

Pretty Tough!
He did well for us, considering his lack of mobility and our line’s lack of blocking. We can’t forget that it was the line that put two QBs on IR, not the QB’s lack of production or ability.

Just Remember Matt
He won more games with those 2007 and 2008 teams than either Brodie Croyle or Tyler Thigpen did. And the loser ball offense (the most conventional NFL offense the Chiefs ran) only functioned well when he was running it. Personally, I thought he was the best QB on the roster the last three years. Maybe Thigpen will develop into something good, but then the only reason he looked as good as he did was because the Chiefs had to create a spread because he was so hopeless running loser ball.
Predictions for 2009
1. Todd Haley's going to struggle with managing his staff in his rookie year as head coach.

Frustrating
There was always something that frustrated me when i watched Huard play. Just seemed like the only thing that ever happened was a bunch of looking around and then a sack. It had a lot to do with the line, but atleast Thigpen can move around a little.
