Chiefs: WRs Avery and Jenkins released

KANSAS CITY - After a disappointing season overall at wide receiver, the Kansas City Chiefs began their rebuilding campaign on Tuesday, releasing Donnie Avery and putting A. J. Jenkins on waivers, according to multiple reports.

Avery, a seven year veteran, finished third on the team with 596 receiving yards on 40 catches two seasons ago, but following time off after a sports hernia surgery, 2014 found him with only 15 receptions for 176 yards.

Jenkins, drafted 30th overall by San Francisco in 2012, secured 17 receptions for 223 yards in his career, including 9 catches for 93 yards this season in nine appearances with the Chiefs.

The Chiefs signed Avery to a three-year, $8.55 million deal in 2013 and Jenkins was acquired in a trade with the 49ers in 2013.
