Chiefs News: Super Bowl champion with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes finds new NFL team
A two-time Super Bowl champion with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes on the Kansas City Chiefs is taking his talents to another team in the NFL.
The Kansas City Chiefs have already celebrated three Super Bowl wins with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, who continue to write NFL history at Arrowhead. And while many contributors are still with them, others have already left the organization.
Some left to pursue bigger contracts, while others were sacrificed by the team in order to create cap space or free up roster spots. The latter was the case of running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, whose exit was confirmed by the Chiefs on Monday.
However, it didn’t take long for the 25-year-old to find a new home. On Wednesday, the New Orleans Saints announced that they’ve signed Edwards-Helaire to their practice roster, terminating the contract of DT Kendal Vickers.

A first-round pick out of LSU in the 2020 NFL Draft, the running back spent five years with the Chiefs. During that time, Edwards-Helaire got to celebrate Super Bowls LVII and LVIII with Reid and Mahomes.

The running back made 48 appearances on the Chiefs uniform, producing 2,610 rushing yards and 19 total touchdowns apart from playing in eight playoff games with 263 rushing yards and a touchdown.
