The Chiefs have released return man B.J. Sams. Sams returned 7 punts for 58 yards (8.3 avg) and 9 kickoffs for 180 yards (20.0 avg) so far this season. Sams will likely be replaced by running back Dantrell Savage for both jobs. He has returned 1 punt for 1 yard this season and 4 kickoffs for 118 yards (29.5 avg). The Chiefs made a good move here as Savage is part of the team’s future while Sams wasn’t.
The Chiefs really played a great game last Sunday as everything went according to planned.
