The Chiefs knew this was coming soon as Shields has played a long, long time.  The player that will miss him the most is Larry Johnson as Shields was an outstanding run blocker.  He played 14 years for the Chiefs and had a streak of appearing in 12 straight Pro Bowls.  Shields played in 224 games (223 starts) in his career and he recovered 9 fumbles, which shows that he was always focused on the game.  The Chiefs will miss Shields both on the field and in the locker room.
