He had only missed 4 career games in 7 years before he got to KC. He missed 7 with us.

He had problems with nagging injuries during preseason once or twice two.

It's football, all players deal with injurys.

He's also not very good.

Was told to expect interest in James Ihetebo (former Raven/Patriot) sometime soon.

Better than I could do...

Well... Safety depth is always a nice thing. But then, this is the second year in a row that I feel like we're stockpiling Strong Safeties when we really need Frees.

3 teams in 3 years. Trash.

Agreed. He stinks.

Per league source, S James Ihedigbo is expected to sign with Lions.

Thank god

So he's not interested in us.

Bumpity bump.

dodged a bullet there woohooo

Yeah, probably.

Would still like to see a guy like Nate Allen brought in...

And where is this mysterious "big name" lineman Mitch referenced?

Signed him yesterday?

i have a feeling the mysterious lineman is going to be a running joke all season

The news about Chicken****er came out a full hour (or more) before Mitch was on the radio. The timing just doesn't fit.

Unless "insider" Mitch was THAT far behind...

Can't believe Beagles got Sproales for a 5th.

It's possible but can't imagine he'd hype that guy because he's depth and not played well for the past few years.

We'll have to clear room on the shelf next to the Leawood realtor, Okay gang, and The Deal is Done.

And "Best Buy Charlie"

I think Demetrius Harris may also be in their plans.

Hopefully we get word soon on who this mysterious olineman is.

He might be but he's a practice squad player. Chances are he won't even make the active roster.

It's Richie 'The Bully' Incognito. Print 'em.

seriously Andy Reid needs to break him out of the nut house and sign him already

Lotsa letters in "Linkenbach", how big do you need the name to be, anyway?

LMAO

Who was that guy Pioli signed that like, played professional Mexican football?

He was huge, like El Gigante.

It'll probably a signing like that. LMAO

yea but that guy ended up actually being pretty ****ing good

What was his name?

are you talking about Brian De La Puente?

Brian de la Puente. He's a free agent, too.

All I remember was what I listed.

Some, big, tall ass mother****ing OL.

Oh, I know who you are talking about. What was his name?

Would like a good center. Tired of seeing jamaal have to make the line look better than it is.

Ramiro Pruneda.

this guy?

I wouldn't even know how to begin to search.

BINGO. ROFL

RAMIRO PRUNEDA

ROFL ROFL ROFL

sadly that predates Fat Scotts Andy Allemans and Ike Indukwes by a few years

Given the way Fasano looks when he is running...let's just say, I wouldn't be totally surprised to see Fasano and Michael Sam hook up and be ultimate companions some day.

Regardless, I expect that sort of "big" OL signing.

Get it right. His name was Eatdookie.

Some minor info....Chiefs are monitoring Henry Melton's situation. He's asking for the moon right now, but that price is dropping. If he doesn't sign with Minnesota, they might have him come in over the weekend.

I think the Chiefs will host quite a bit of guys over the weekend. Lots of quality players still available and the market is still settling.

What about Sanders and Pettigrew?

Henry Melton would be a godsend. He'll kill if they try to block him 1 on 1 on passing downs. Please God let him come to us even if it's just a 1 year deal.:clap:

wonder what Henry Melton is asking for? higher than 7 per if Chicago went with Houston?

This would be ideal. Improving the d lines pass rush is a must.

That's the thing. People are freaking out about the Chiefs letting all their players leave, but have no perspective on the whole thing. Has anybody actually looked at the free agents that are left? Still good players.

Holy shit. This would be awesome.

Henry Melton - DL - Bears
As day three of NFL free agency nears a close, Henry Melton is Rotoworld's top-rated defensive tackle left unsigned.
Melton is currently in Minneapolis visiting the Vikings. There is a healthy amount of defensive line talent still available, including Julius Peppers, Jared Allen, Antonio Smith, Corey Wootton, B.J. Raji, and Alex Carrington. For a comprehensive list of all the free agents left on the board, click the link below.

Should've used the Poe Powe last year.

Two different positions. Houston is Peppers' replacement. Melton is an interior pass rusher.

Am I the only one that thinks Vance Walker would be a better get than Melton?

Don't get me wrong, he's a good player, but I think Walker is better.

Chiefs think he's better that's why he's in KC right now.

You smoke weed right?

I think Melton is the better pure pass rusher. Walker is a more balanced player though. We'd be able to sign Walker for a longer term deal, IMO. Melton is going to be a 1 and done cause he's going to want to get the most money he possibly can. Melton is essentially what Dominique Easley would be for us on passing downs.

ROFL

This team is designed to win now. Melton on a 1 year deal is awesome, IMO.

Drafting an interior pass rusher and adding to a group of Melton/Bailey/Catapano would be exceptionally beneficial. In the case of Easley, this would be an excellent situation that enables him to learn/recover physically.


This of course is reliant on Sutton rotating our DL. So...

What if Nix is there at 23?

I honestly haven't watched any of Nix. It seems like he could be a fantastic NT though.

You probably couldn't go wrong with Tuitt, Donald, Hageman, Cooks, Beckham, Matthews, Lee, ASJ, Amaro, Ebron, Dix, or Mosely. It's probable that a few of those fellas will be there.

I can't see him wanting to do that. His production could go way down in our scheme and he'll be looking for a contract next year. If he ends up signing a one year deal, it will be with a team who run a similar scheme to the Bears. A scheme he's had success in. Melton is unrealistic imo but you never know. I think he'll sign with the Vikes or Raiders.

Yeah, especially considering how we little we used a 3 tech in our playoff game.

LMAO

We play Denver (2) SD (2), NE, Miami, AZ, Tennessee, and NYJ.

Those teams kind of throw the ball around Roberto. Like, a tiny bit.

Roberto.

ROFL ROFL ROFL

He'd be pretty good in the 3-3-5

;)

What I'm tired of reading is how the Chiefs have to budget for the future so they can afford extensions for Houston, Berry, Charles, Poe and Alex.

Dorsey went on a Supermarket Sweep shopping spree last year and signed complete meh players like Daniels, Fasano and then tagged Albert, when it probably wasn't absolutely necessary if you let him walk the year after. He should have stopped playing hardball with Miami. He knew what bills were coming due in 2015.

It's like they use it as an excuse not to upgrade now. I don't give a **** about Denver, or who else has upgraded.

You don't sit on your ass after the playoff loss to the Colts or coming off an 11-5 season when this team needs to establish constant winning and completely change a culture.

The 49ers and Seahawks have big time cap juggling coming up, yet, they still are upgrading despite having to pay some guys on rookie deals.

I'm just sick of reading how 2015 will be great. **** that. I could be dead by then. Sign some quality people now, keep an eye on the future, but play for ****ing 2014.

Sorry, off my soapbox now. Just annoyed.

Just think how nasty this DL could be if we sign Melton and draft Donald.

Wow.

Donald
Poe
Melton

Holy crap.

did you get some bad news or something?

I wouldn't get your hopes up about Donald. He's going to be gone by the first 15 picks.

If they sign Sanders, find a way to get Melton, and sign some depth at FS, I think they have to either go corner or pass rusher.

:clap:

The cap is blowing up and we have a bunch of guys that aren't gonna be difference makers in 2 years.

THERE IS NO BETTER TIME THAN RIGHT NOW TO MOVE THE CHIPS TO THE MIDDLE.

Nah, reading a lot of excuse makers who want to point to 2015 as to why this team might not do anything this free agent period.

Just annoyed and hopped up on some painkillers.

In any normal draft, I'd agree whole heatedly...but this is like a draft on crack.

I think there is a real chance he drops to us.

Apart from Alex Smith, though, it was our high priced free agents last year that were disappointing, and it was our scrap heap guys that ended up being Dorsey's best moves.

For as much bitching as there's been about losing Geoff Schwartz, let's not forget that it was signing a backup swing Guard/Tackle that supposedly turned our entire offensive line around. I really don't care if we stay out of the high-priced free agent market if Dorsey is extremely active and smart in picking from the second and third waves.

I've never had a sig on here before but if I did I would put this entire quote in it

scrap heap guys aka we were #1 at the waiver priority so we took advantage of what the good NFL teams cut first.

something Fat Scott should have done the four years he was here but he has a Fat Ego. Dorsey was just doing what anyone with a normal brain should do in that position, but because you were never used to it or seen it done under Fat Scott, you think it's some genius strategy that led to taking advantage of being #1 on the waiver and having first dibs on everyone after training camp.

I don't care about who we lost either. I didn't think any of them would be back.

I just want upgrades in places and I don't want 2015 to be an excuse as to why we don't get them.
