At least the new regime is keeping us guessing and giving us stuff to talk about this off season. I doubt any of us have any idea what move is coming next.

Paging Zilla.

Whitlock is happy

Good riddance RT @ProFootballTalk: Release of Eric Winston by Chiefs saves $700K cap space but $4.9 million in cash http://po.st/Kjw5Zx

Branden Albert ‏@Balbert76

“@ChiefsBeef: @Balbert76 Would you be open to playing RT? And they could draft Fisher instead of Joekel who can play RT.” nope

My thoughts exactly.

Albert on the tag this year, gone next.

Rookie plays RT in 2013, moves to LT in 2014.

Wait I thought Dorsey and Reid did good this week


Chiefs can never keep a good thing going. Sorry ass organization

We are trading down, everybody.

Dude better have lost a foot or an arm int he last couple hours, this makes no sense. Albert RT now and we draft a lt first pick, shit balls.

It would be truly hilarious if this happened.

No defense for such a move.

LUKE JOECKEL INCOMING!

Goddamnit

Whitlock loves him some Andy cock.

Rational thoughts...maybe we're switching from the ZBS?

Wow. Not cool.

I'm pretty sure this has more to do with Clark Hunt getting rid of Captain Lips and his mouthing off about the fans.

Albert = LT... How hard it is for some of you to understand.

**** that.

At least Dane would be happy. The number one would play.

So we know several things:

1. If they were at any point, the Chiefs are not angling Albert for a trade anymore.

2. They're also not going to move him to guard.

3. It's not a sure thing. The Chiefs likely want Albert at LT, and Stephenson can have a shot at RT, and honestly you can get decent RTs in the third round, where we'll have two picks.

4. Nonetheless, it seems far more likely now that Joeckel is a Chief.

Chiefs get Joeckel, Jags get Winston. It's happening.

There's no room for that here.

Chiefs trade down.

Arizona gets Geno.

Jacksonville gets ****ed.

Maybe be just pissed them off.

Damn, Eric Winston would have been a great guard, but as a tackle his run blocking is great but his pass blocking is atrocious.

I certainly hope so.

Don't know why you aren't going to put a stud line on the field for a game manager.

Eric Winston ‏@ericwinston
Trade the relationships I made in KC and the overall experience I had for anything. It was an honor to be a Chief ... http://tmi.me/MSlvJ

? Jags are taking Dion Jordan.

Can it be any more clear that they not taking geno lmao

Well bye bitch

God this is really ****ing with me right now. Why do this? Even if you are planning to draft Joeckel? Why wouldn't you keep Winston on a much friendlier deal and just let Branden Albert walk?

Why not trade winston for a late round pick? It just makes no sense to me.

ugh. what the ****.

An absolute head-scratcher.
One of the best right tackles in the league signed to a very cap friendly deal.
This makes ZERO sense.

Pete Prisco ‏@PriscoCBS

Brandon Albert @Balbert76 said he won't play RT. If they pay him to, I bet he does.

If they KNOW Albert's not coming back, they should've let him walk.

Peterson and Herm can't stop touching themselves.

He must of pissed Clark off

Well he really doesn't have a say

Free Agency is going to be very interesting. We're gonna sign at least 1 starting OL.

No. Andy is one of the few WCO guys that uses a lot of zone philosophies in his run game.

I just don't understand the rationale of this move. We have plenty of cap space w/ the impending Cassel release. Winston has some trade value. Surely they could get a 5th-6th round for him even if they flat despised him.

Even if they just look at him as worthless, he has some value as an asset.

Andrew Brandt ‏@adbrandt

Chiefs signed @ericwinston, now tweeting he's cut, to 4-yr contract worth $22M last year. Contract now becomes one year, $9.3M.

This is ****ed up. Leave 30 min from CP and come back to find this out.


I don't know what to think anymore. I don't like Eric Winston as a person but am happy he is our RT or was I'd like him to stay so we can have continuety along the line. That & I don't want us waisting a ****ing #1 pick on the offensive line.

I dont doubt it... But that guy has been wrong all off season.

Let me help you with that.

6 mins Eric Winston ‏@ericwinston
Just wanted to confirm that I have been released. Even though it was an incredibly tough year on and off the field last year, I wouldn't trade the relationships I made in KC and the overall experience I had for anything. It was an honor to be a Chief But the best in the future.... On to the next adventure!

There are no OT prospects in FA...WTF are they smoking?

Eric Galko ‏@OptimumScouting

Based on recent moves, OT versatility, and that Andy Reid prefers athletic OTs, the #Chiefs likely prefer Eric Fisher over Luke Joeckel.

Pioli's crown jewel free agent flushed down the crapper

Way to go Planeteers you ran him off!

Jaguars need a RT bad. You should be salivating.

You cant get a 4th or hell even a 5th rounder for Winston? Something is fishy, had to be some "**** you"s exchanged across a table.

Isn't Stephenson plenty athletic?

Or they want the cap space after giving their punter the highest punter contract in the league.

The 700k in cap space?

Well, I thought his play was disappointing and his mouth against the fans was rediculous.

MY EMOTIONS.

God, the way this shit is going, I expect the Chiefs to announce tomorrow that the Alex Smith trade is off, and instead they've worked out a deal with the Colts for Andrew Luck

Followed by news the very next that Jamaal Charles has been traded.

I don't ****ing understand this team. Not one bit.

He has ZERO value. Let's not pretend otherwise. You honestly think somehow both us and the Texans cut his ass when either team could have gotten something in return? The guy has to be a complete locker room cancer or something because although he isn't very good he is at least a serviceable starting RT.

With the big hoopla when we got him I had my eye on him a lot. He just didn't look even as good as those numbers. Seems like there were more sacks and pressures than that from his side.

They'd cut charles if anything.

Anything is better than nothing damn. I think your right a 4th or 5th rounder would have been nice.

What's the rationale here?
You pay a left tackle to play right tackle, he's there for a year, Albert defects, the RT becomes the LT, and then you're in the hunt for a right tackle again?

Karma is a bitch Winston

http://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthrea...hlight=Winston

#Chiefs Memo- if Scott Pioli brought you to KC you will 1. Be Cut 2. Take a pay cut. Regards, John Dorsey GM @bobfescoe

That is odd. I'd forgotten the Texans dropped him outright as well.

LOL right...at this point I'm fully expecting the annoucement of a 5 yr. contract with Ray Lewis tomorrow.

Reid finally cornered him with the game tape of him dry humping numerous pass rushers to the ground and he had no choice but to come out of the closet.

It's sickening, just sickening.

We couldn't get a 7th for him, let;s be realistic. He was CUT just one year ago from the Texans... why do we think we can get value for the same guy who is now a year older?

I guess Donald Stephenson could play right tackle. That's literally the best case scenario here.

I wasn't to offended by Big Lips last season but if we're getting away from the neighbors then we probably need to run a few of their kin out of the hood.

So he's a better run blocker then he is a pass blocker.

Well bye!

Winston was supposed to be the best RT in the league, I was disapoint.

Ho. Lee. ****.

This is just dumb. Very very dumb.

I can't stand these posts. the RT is a run blocker the LT is a pass blocker. I never fully expected him to block pass rushers like a LT ought to. He was gonna have some let loose. He's a RT.

Cut Winston but you ****ing havent cut Cassel yet?

Because we are Chiefs fans. :)

The only question now is Joeckel or Fisher?

I was warming up to milliner but I guess that's out.

http://hosted.stats.com/fb/playersta...d=7815&team=12

I posted this a couple of times, before we signed him as Texans fans kept warning be careful what you wish for.

Why draft for need, when you can manufacture one?

What Winston would have made is nearly identical to what the first overall pick will make.

The Texans cut him at least, in part, because they were up against the cap. Had they really loved him they could have restructured, but the guy is probably a top 8-12 RT. Although it isn't much value, it is some. Pioli got fifth round picks for Tank Edwards. Granted, Tank was cheaper, but Winston is a far better player on a reasonable deal.

I'm was pretty unimpressed with Winston as a player so no big deal there. I'm guessing he doesn't fit the scheme, and no one wanted to take on his salary with his current contract. The only thing that sucks about it is imagine they are going OL now which is not what I wanted. I would have rather seen Winston for another year, but he must not fit in at all.

I hope we ****ing trade down.
