Chiefs sign WR Steve Breaston (5 years, $25M; $9.5M guaranteed): MILLEN ON SHROOMS Grade

This signing was from a few days ago, but details are now known. The Chiefs signed Steve Breaston to a 5-year deal worth $25 million with $9.5 million guaranteed.

Umm... what the hell is this? OK, so if even if there wasn't anything wrong with Breaston, spending $25 million overall and $9.5 million guaranteed on a slot receiver is overly excessive. But Breaston isn't fine; the Cardinals were eagerly willing to let him walk because they know his knees are shot. This is an awful signing.

This. Plus, you have to have two stud RB's to run on teams like Ravens and Steelers in the playoffs.

For having the best RB in the league, we weren't real good on third and short and someone like him could really help.

Sweet. Totally offsets us not getting McClain (yet).

Raiders could be poised to win the Zach Miller sweepstakes

The Oakland Raiders broke the bank on Monday for linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. Their next move is expected to be given to another in-house guy.

Raiders insider Greg Papa has predicted unequivocally that the Raiders will fend off Seattle’s effort to pilfer the Raiders’ starting tight end.

“Zach Miller will be back with the Raiders,” Papa said on radio in the Bay Area, via Vittorio Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Al Davis didn’t just give Kamerion Wimbley $29 million to lose Zach Miller to Tom Cable,” Papa added. (Cable, the former Raiders head coach, is a member of the Seattle staff.)

Stay tuned. If nothing else, it’s fun to see the Seahawks and Raiders, a pair of former AFC West rivals, going at it again.
