Ex-Chiefs 2x Super Bowl champion Andrew Wylie was released by the Commanders after nine games with a 3–6 record, begging to return to the Chiefs as the deadline clock ticks down.

Kansas City, Missouri – November 4, 2025
In a stunning turn of events just hours before the NFL trade deadline, offensive lineman Andrew Wylie has reportedly been released by the Washington Commanders after a disappointing 3–6 start to the season — and his next move has the entire league buzzing.
According to multiple league sources, Wylie, who signed a three-year deal with Washington in 2024 after five seasons and two Super Bowl titles with the Kansas City Chiefs, has publicly expressed his desire to return to Kansas City, calling his departure from the franchise “the biggest mistake of my career.”
In an emotional statement shared late Monday night, Wylie opened up about his regret and longing for the place he still calls home.

“I made a mistake leaving Kansas City. That place made me who I am — the fans, the energy, the culture,” Wylie said. “I thought I needed a new start, but I realize now I had everything I needed right there. If they’d take me back, I’d come in tomorrow. No ego, no demands. I’d take less money just to wear red and white again.”

The 30-year-old lineman struggled to find consistency this season in Washington’s restructured offense under new head coach Dan Quinn. Despite starting all nine games, Wylie allowed five sacks and was flagged four times — a far cry from his steady presence protecting Patrick Mahomes during Kansas City’s championship runs.
Meanwhile, the timing of his release couldn’t be more intriguing for the Chiefs. Kansas City is entering its bye week nursing multiple injuries across the offensive line, with right tackle Jawaan Taylor dealing with an ankle sprain and Pro Bowl guard Trey Smith battling recurring back spasms.
While there’s no official word yet from General Manager Brett Veach, insiders suggest the Chiefs could be open to a reunion if the financials make sense — especially given Wylie’s experience, versatility, and familiarity with Andy Reid’s system.
For now, Wylie’s heartfelt admission has struck a chord across Chiefs Kingdom. Fans flooded social media with messages of support, calling for the team to “bring him home.”
Whether it’s a fairytale comeback or simply a moment of reflection, Andrew Wylie’s message is clear — some places never stop feeling like home.
