A poor preseason cost offensive tackle
Damion McIntosh his job Friday when he was released along with
seven other players by the Kansas City Chiefs.

McIntosh, drafted in the third round in 2000 by San Diego, was
Kansas City's starter at right tackle last year but did mnot play
well this preseason. He was beaten several times in Thursday
night's preseason loss to St. Louis. He signed as an unrestricted
free agent in 2007.

Also released were linebacker Corey Smith, fullback Jed Collins,
center Eric Ghiaciuc, cornerbacks Travis Daniels and Londen Fryar
and offensive linemen Herb Taylor and Tavares Washington.
