The K.C. chapter of Elijah Mitchell's career points to a glaring issue that's been haunting the Chiefs for quite some time.
Elijah Mitchell has been set free.
On Monday, Mitchell officially cleared waivers after being released by the Kansas City Chiefs, which means the veteran running back is now free to sign with any team he wants. Any player released following the NFL's trade deadline is subject to the waiver process, so the news of Mitchell's freedom was a late arrival, but it's here all the same.
