Andy Reid had to bid farewell to one of his favorite receivers on cut-down day.
Junior Hemingway, who starred in the first year of the Reid regime, was chopped as the roster shrunk to 75 players. The Michigan product was lauded for his catching and blocking ability, but couldn't stay healthy enough to keep.
Jason Avant and De'Anthony Thomas rose up to claim Hemingway's old slot spot. He was expendable, along with these other Chiefs roster cuts:
WR Kenny Cook
OT Anthony Dima
LS Andrew East
CB Aaron Hester
OL Tavon Rooks
TE Adam Schiltz
WR Jeret Smith
WR L'Damian Washington.
