We are going to have much more on this story as it develops but for now here are the nuts and bolts. The Kansas City Chiefs have released long time offensive lineman Brian Waters.

Scott Pioli said, "Brian has played a key role in our progress and I am personally grateful for his contributions to this team. He and I had a good discussion and mutually agreed that this is a sound football decision for both Brian and the Chiefs. Brian has been an integral part of this organization and will always be part of the Kansas City Chiefs. We wish him nothing but the best."

Brian Waters said in a statement:

I'd like to thank the entire Chiefs organization, especially for giving me an opportunity as a young player when other teams wouldn't. I'm grateful for the coaches, teammates and support staff who helped me become the player and man I am today. I'd also like to thank the fans of Kansas City who cheered us on. The Chiefs and I have mutually agreed on this decision and although I look forward to continuing my career, I'll always have a special place in my heart for Kansas City.

We'll have more on this story soon.
