They select one person per year for this honor. It appears that there's a general policy of waiting until the person has been retired from the NFL for at least five seasons, regardless of whether it's retired from the Chiefs or some other team. For that reason, I'm not including any active NFL players on this list. So no voting for Patrick Mahomes II or Derrick Johnson.

From the list in the lengthy poll to follow, pick the FIVE people who you think SHOULD be the next five. (This is not who you think WILL be, but who you think SHOULD be.)

Gimme a minute on the poll.

As background, here are the guys already on the Ring. Or in the Ring. Not sure of the terminology.

I would go with (in descending order):

Tamba Hali
Jamaal Charles
Brian Waters
Dante Hall
Trent Green

Trent barely edged out Dale Carter, James Hasty, Kimble Anders, and Willie Roaf. Roaf is a tough to consider given his short tenure. If Carter hadn't screwed up off the field so much I'd give him the nod over Trent.

Just sayin

I believe that Alex Smith is still an active player, though. He's not eligible.

This must have been the case with Sabby Piscatelli as well.

I wouldn’t have. Was just curious if you left him out on purpose or not. What about Mike Maslowski?! We have to support slow bald white guys!

smithandrew051 · 09-19-2018, 07:05 PM

Waters, Hali, Charles, Carter, Roaf

**jjchieffan** · 09-19-2018, 07:10 PM

I only went with 3. Carter, Charles, and Hali. 3 guys drafted by the Chiefs that we're impact players and stayed in KC until near the end of their careers. I excluded Trent, Roaf, Allen, and some of the others because their time in KC was less than half of their careers. I liked Dante and wouldn't be opposed to him being g up there. He was a dynamic return man, but not ever all that great on offense, so I left him off too.

Chief Roundup · 09-19-2018, 07:15 PM

Sure is a lot of meh in that list. There might be a couple/few/several years of no inductees.

ILChief · 09-19-2018, 07:42 PM

Charles, Tamba, LJ, Dante. Fifth was either Carter or Waters but I went with Carter

EPodolak · 09-19-2018, 07:44 PM

Guess there was more to Carlos Carson that I can remember.

ILChief · 09-19-2018, 07:45 PM

Larry Johnson is criminally underrated by this fanbase

Coach · 09-19-2018, 07:52 PM

Brian Waters - 11 seasons/149 starts/5 Pro Bowls/2 All Pros
Jerome Woods - 10 seasons/105 starts/1 Pro Bowls/0 All Pros
Kimble Anders - 10 seasons/94 starts/3 Pro Bowls/0 All Pros
Tim Grunhard - 11 seasons/164 starts/1 Pro Bowls/0 All Pros
Trent Green - 6 seasons/88 starts/2 Pro Bowls/0 All Pros

These are my 5 choices. I would had voted for Charles and Hali, but Hali haven't announced his retirement (at least not to my knowledge), but it's pretty safe to assume that he is retired. And Charles is still considered an active player as a unsigned free agent, so he shouldn't be on the list as well.
