The reason the Chargers released Kiel is because of his off-field problems.  He’s got a trial coming up soon because he was caught dealing drugs and the Chargers don’t want anyone around like him.  Kiel has really screwed up because he’s a good football player.  He played in 15 games last season and he made 53 tackles, defensed 2 passes, forced a fumble and also recovered a fumble.  Kiel played 4 seasons for the Chargers and he played in 59 games and he made 216 tackles, intercepted 4 passes, defensed 17 passes, forced 2 fumbles and recovered three fumbles.
