Congrats to Peni Vea

He has all the physical tools to play in the NFL. I could see him sticking around as a core special teams player/back up safety.

I really hope he does stick in the league.

I m sad he just got cut, I hope someone else picks him up.

I think if this was the NFL 10-15 years ago where there was still a place for the traditional 'in the box' safety he would have had a better shot. He was never particularly great in coverage despite having good speed. To use a Mike Mayock term, he couldn't 'flip his hips' and turn and run with receivers.

In todays game your safeties are asked to cover so much more.

Hopefully he can catch on somewhere else.

If he could put on a little more weight he could play linebacker or special teams. He's got more than enough speed to rush. Not saying he would be good or not good the way he is now

Only a week in Chiefs camp, huh? That didn't take long. Hope he can find somewhere and stick, at least to the practice squad.

I don't think he was even given a chance. It appears they already had their eyes on another player, and as soon as he was signed they let him go. It wasn't due to anything on the field.
