Former Chiefs defensive tackle has put his Super Bowl LVII ring up for auction
In the middle of the 2022 season, the Chiefs elevated defensive lineman Taylor Stallworth to the active squad and he appeared in six straight games.
Stallworth played 53 snaps in those contests, but he was released by the Chiefs on Dec. 6, 2022. The Texans claimed Stallworth the following day, and he finished the season with Houston.
The Chiefs went on to beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, and the team gave Stallworth a championship ring even though he wasn’t with the franchise.
Less than 18 months later, Stallworth is getting rid of the ring.
Heritage Auctions said it has put the ring up for bids, along with the box that held the keepsake.
Here is an excerpt from Heritage’s website: “This Type-A ring intricately details the Chiefs’ franchise history, celebrating their three Super Bowl titles until that date and their half-century at Arrowhead Stadium. The ring top, inspired by a bird’s-eye view of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, can be removed from the base to reveal one to three Lombardi trophies, depending on the recipient’s tenure with the Chiefs (one, in this case), and can also be worn as a pendant.
“The ring features 16.10 carats in total, comprising 609 round diamonds, sixteen baguette diamonds, four marquise diamonds, and thirty-five custom-cut genuine rubies. The top of the ring showcases thirty-eight diamonds, representing the points scored against the Philadelphia Eagles. The three Lombardi trophies on the ring top are adorned with sixteen baguette diamonds, each representing a player who scored a touchdown during the regular season. Kansas City’s logo on the ring includes fifty diamonds, symbolizing the years the team has played at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, and sixteen custom-cut diamonds for the division titles the Chiefs won as of the date of production.”
Heritage estimated the value of the ring at $80,000 and the top bid currently is $34,000. You can bid on the ring here, but the auction ends on Aug. 20.
