“My family and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Chiefs Hall of Famer Ed Budde,” Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt said in a statement.
“Ed spent his entire 14-year career with the Chiefs, and he was a cornerstone of those early Chiefs teams that brought pro football to Kansas City.
“He never missed a game in the first nine seasons of his career, and he rightfully earned recognition as an All-Star, a Pro-Bowler and a Super Bowl Champion.
“After his playing career, Ed remained connected to the Chiefs organization and was a founding member of the Kansas City Ambassadors.”
