The Cincinnati Bengals have officially released veteran defensive tackle Mike Pennel, and the news is already setting off a storm across NFL social media — especially in Kansas City.
Pennel, a beloved figure among Chiefs Kingdom, was a key contributor during the team’s Super Bowl LIV championship run, known for his toughness, leadership, and locker-room presence. Now, with his sudden release, fans are calling on GM Brett Veach to move fast and reunite with “Big Mike.”
“He bleeds Chiefs red — bring him home!” one fan posted, echoing thousands of similar comments flooding X (formerly Twitter).
The Chiefs’ defensive line has been dominant this season, but insiders note that adding a battle-tested veteran like Pennel could boost depth and interior strength for a playoff push. Pennel, 33, remains a fan favorite not just for his play but for his blue-collar attitude — the kind of grit Kansas City fans love.
NFL insiders say the move could happen quickly, as Veach has a history of reuniting with trusted veterans before key postseason runs.
If Kansas City makes the call, it wouldn’t just be a smart football move — it would be an emotional homecoming. 💥
