After starting 13 games as a rookie, he started 10 in 2021, six in ‘22 and three in ‘23.Edwards-Helaire had managed to remain productive, averaging at least 4.3 yards per carry every year until his average dipped in ‘23 (3.2 ypc).Edwards-Helaire had yet to see the field in 2024, getting buried on the depth chart behind Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Samaje Perine and Carson Steele.He tipped off the move on social media Monday afternoon, thanking the Kansas City community for their support.
