Right tackle Jawaan Taylor didnât announce anything. He didnât need to.
Instead, he posted a quiet note on X that immediately sent Chiefs fans into reflection mode:
âYear 7. Not the ending we imagined. But Iâm thankful for the opportunity, the grind, the lessons, and the fans who never wavered. Through wins, losses, and everything in between, Chiefs Kingdom showed up. That never goes unnoticed. Forever Grateful. â 74.â
A season written in pain
Taylor appeared in 12 regular-season games this year, but the numbers hide the toll his body took. A severe elbow and triceps injury forced him to miss multiple weeks, just one chapter in a story of physical setbacks that has followed him since arriving in Kansas City.
Last season, he fought through a partially torn meniscus, a grind that quietly eroded his effectiveness in the trenches.
Now 28 and entering the final year of a four-year, $80 million contract, Taylor suddenly finds himself in uncertain territory. With the Chiefs searching for financial flexibility this offseason, he is widely viewed as a possible cut candidate.
Gratitude â and a question mark
Nothing in his message confirmed what comes next. But the tone â thankful, reflective, heavy with emotion â felt like something more than just another end-of-season post.
It felt like a man who knows the ground beneath him is shifting, and who wanted to say thank you⊠just in case.
