It’s been a long, drawn-out process but Greg Wesley’s departure from Kansas City seems imminent.  The Kansas City Star reports that the team’s told the safety that if they couldn’t trade him before their minicamp begins on June 6, they would release him.

Wesley started 102 games for the Chiefs between 2000 and 2006 before being relegated to a reserve role in 2007.  He asked the team to trade him or release him in March and, with no trade avenues on the horizon, it looks like he’ll be granted the latter wish.  He told the Star that he’s “not worried about getting a job.  They’re just waiting for me to be released.”

The Chiefs, meanwhile, will go with Jarrad Page and Bernard Pollard at the safety spots with third-rounder DaJuan Morgan challenging for a role.  As a team firmly in the throes of rebuilding, it would have been nice if they’d pulled the trigger on a rumored deal with Denver that would have netted them a fourth-rounder in April but, either way, it’s time to move on from a player that’s not going to be part of the next good team in K.C.
