🇨🇦 Laurent Duvernay-Tardif told reporters Wednesday he'd been talking with the Jets for roughly three weeks and felt comfortable enough about making the move to New York that he waived his no-clause with Kansas City to pave the way.
There was no surprise or astonishment when Canadian Laurent Duvernay-Tardif learned his time with the Kansas City Chiefs was over.
The six-foot-five, 321-pound Duvernay-Tardif, a native of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Que., started 57-of-60 career games with Kansas City after being taken in the sixth round of the '14 NFL draft out of McGill. Duvernay-Tardif made his first NFL start in 2015 and his last with the franchise was its 31-20 Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 2, 2020.
"We've been in conversation for the past three weeks and I think it just makes sense for me to waive the clause in order to be part of an organization that's building something new and something different and for sure I want to be part of it.'' "I'm planning on playing this year, that's for sure,'' he said."That's why I am here today, because I want to play football.
