[Kansas City.com] Greg Wesley was a Chiefs safety when he unexpectedly showed up at Friday’s minicamp. He was still a Chiefs safety when he walked off the field.
Beyond that time, Wesley said, he had no idea.
“I don’t know what’s going on,” he said, walking toward the players’ parking lot. “I’m a Chief right now.”
Last month, Wesley said team officials told him he would be released or traded before minicamp. In whichever fashion he would depart Kansas City, he was assured it would happen, sooner rather than later. He said in May he would not participate in offseason practice or minicamp because he was “done with the Chiefs.”
But there he was Friday. Only it looked as if more distance had grown between Wesley and the team. He participated in position drills but sat out the second half of the 90-minute session.
When the team gathered to close practice, Wesley kneeled about 5 yards behind the standing group and was first to leave the field.
“It’s been very frustrating,” Wesley said. “But that’s part of the NFL. You don’t see things happen, and it’s really out of my control. All I can do is handle the things I can control.
“Like I said, I’m still a part of this organization. I’m still under contract by the Chiefs, so you know, at the end of the day, I’ve got to make sure I’m ready to play.”
Good for Wesley, to me that just shows KC that he’s willing to anything to get outta here. Other teams will take notice of that and say he’s a classy veteran who is willing to just get out there and play. Either way, Wesley is gone. Just a matter of time. I dont want anything for him, just let him go lol.

They should have made the trade when they had the opportunity to do so, now they release him and get nothing, and he will end up in either Denver or Oakland and come back to hunt the Chiefs!

Wesley has been very good for the Chiefs and they treat him like this. Carl Peterson you are a IDIOT. As for Wesley I hope you end up with a team that has a chance.
