The Kansas City Chiefs announced the release of tackles Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz on Thursday. "With Eric, obviously, he was the first guy we picked when we arrived in Kansas City, and we were fortunate to watch him develop into a quality tackle for us for many years." General manager John Dorsey said. "Mitchell came into the league as a prospect who had all the physical tools you look for in an offensive tackle. He's still young and has a lot of football left in him." Schwartz started 15 games at right tackle for the Chiefs in 2017 before suffering a knee injury that required surgery. He was expected to be ready for the start of 2018 but was placed on injured reserve after six games.
Schwartz is scheduled to make $9 million over the next two seasons. The Chiefs will save $12.5 million if they release him before June 1.
Fisher signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with $10 million in guaranteed money in 2016. He was expected to be the long-term replacement for Branden Albert but missed most of his rookie season with a knee injury. Last year was his second straight healthy season, but the Chiefs chose to go another direction this offseason by signing former Raider Kelechi Osemele.
Fisher is scheduled to make $11.5 million over the next two seasons.
1970 The squad relocated to Kansas City in the spring of 1963 and adopted its present name. The Chiefs entered the NFL as a result of the 1970 merger, and the franchise is now worth more than $2 billion. Clark Hunt, Hunt's son, is chairman and CEO. The family business was founded by Ewing T. "Curly" Hunt who played center for the Chicago Cardinals from 1913 to 1917.
After playing their first two seasons in Baltimore before moving to Kansas City, many people wrote the Chiefs off after they lost their first four games in 1970. But under head coach Hank Stram, the team turned things around winning 11 games that season. They won another 11 games in 1971 before losing their final three regular season games. The Chiefs advanced to the playoffs for the first time but were defeated by Denver in the divisional round.
Kansas City has had a lot of success since then including five straight Super Bowl appearances from 1974 to 1988. But they've never taken home the trophy.
The Chiefs have had one of the best quarterbacks in football history in Joe Montana. He led them to the playoffs in each of his years with the team, including back-to-back championship games in 1979 and 1980.
