Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

@nfldraftscout there are some serious injury concerns


Looks like he's hurt

Huh? Why?

SICKENING!!!!!

I hope so.

Because the fans hate him for loving Cassel.

Goodbye QBotF

Bullshit. He was terrible last year but no way they cut bait with him already.

Albert going to play RT SMH

Albert to RT?

I'd like to see us put Stephenson at RT if this is true.

DONALD STEPHENSON RTOTF!!!

We could get something in a trade for him. No way he gets straight released.

Someone check his yard for forsale signs.

WHAT THE ****

If this is true, I'll be pretty pissed with Dorsey and Reid.

:cuss: :banghead:

Do not want an OT @ #1 overall.


:deevee:

OL Eric Winston $4,900,000 $6,500,000

Frees up some money

That's what they said in Houston last year also......

Albert or Joeckel to RT....

JFC......

What a waste of a FA signing last year if true.

Like Hillis, Boss, Rapeatiti, etc.

HELL YEA....:toast:PBJPBJ

Winston was a great tackle to run behind.

This would make no sense whatsoever.

If that's the case, wtf is Cassel still doing here?

There is no way this is true. We could get a 3-5th pick for him. No ****ing way we just cut him especially after the Bowe, Jackson, and Albert moves.

Did Pioli blow or waht?

WOW

Didnt see that one coming.

I really hope that they like Stephenson more for their scheme. I think he would be a good RT.

Holy ****ing shit.

Yup. Joeckel is now a Kansas City Chief.

It's ****ing true lol

If this happens I am going to wait and hope that the issue is resolved in FA. Enough good moves past few days to give them a chance to fix this prior to the draft. I would rather just keep Winston though.

Yeah I don't get it. He wasn't bad enough to release and if they're going to release people there are more qualified people to give their walking papers.

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout

$9MM is a lot to pay Branden Albert to play right tackle for one season, but the #Chiefs seem prepared to do just that.

This would not be a good move. I mean, you don't spend the number one pick to save money at RT.

FYP

The bad...May signal KC going Tackle with their first round pick no matter the position.

The good...Not remotely impressed with Eric Winston. I thought he looked out of shape coming in to training camp, and struggled with his pass blocking all year long. Wouldn't be sad to see him get the axe.

This doesn't make a lick of sense.

Branden Albert ‏@Balbert76
What????

I have no words right now

Sometimes I hate new media.

lol - he's a total douchebag with the fans, but a decent RT....


dumb move imo

at least he will stick up for Alex Smith when he sucks the shit turds out of asshole.

This. We could easily get a 5th rounder for Winston despite his shitty year.

this makes absolutely NO ****ING SENSE

Matt Miller ‏@nfldraftscout
I've confirmed via text that the #Chiefs have officially released Eric Winston.

But not great to pass behind. And in an expected more pass happy offense this makes sense.

ya, I think Stephenson could play that side well with those big arms of his.

thinking about a recent discussion with milkman now ROFL

Just when they restored my faith by paying Bowe...

or they could be bringing in someone else to play Rt. Miller wants to move Albert all over the line.

Brian McIntyre ‏@brian_mcintyre

Per @ProFootballTalk, #Chiefs are releasing RT Eric Winston. Move saves $5.5M in cash, $3.5M in cap space.

How many years did we sign him for initially?

Yeah. Welcome to Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher as the next Kansas City Chief. :facepalm:

holy ****. we ARE going LT first overall. **** MY LIFE

Yeah I bet he's got a huge boner over this...

They've got a plan. This is too big a move. They have a replacement.

Frankly, I think the Chiefs are getting ready to buy them some FA's. I think Dorsey/Reid have bigger plans than we do.

Three, I believe.

Andy Reid typically knows when to let players go at the right time. I haven't seen Winston play much, so I can't know for sure. He did a good job with the Eagles at letting players go right before their production hit major decline.

Haven't we figured out it's a bit premature to predict what's going to happen yet?

I think they want a big RT. Winston just didn't fit.

Looks like Reid is really hammering down on the OL after his catastrophe in Philly.

They were looking at OL hard at the combine, so might be seeing multiple OL picks in the draft.

CLARK ONLY CARES ABOUT THE BOTTOM LINE!

GREAT SEATS STILL AVAILABLE!

This

Yeah, there's no way we're going to be watchers in free agency this year. They're cleaning out LOADS of cap room.

Why???????????

"John Dorsey Week" rolls on!

Donald Stephenson ‏@Don59Wayne
EZ “@evantaylorks: Can @Don59Wayne play RT?”


DON'T WORRY GUYS. DONALD'S GOT THIS SHIT!

People are acting like Winston was a turnstile.

He allowed 4 sacks and 25 QB pressures. He had the 8th ranked pass blocking ranking for RTs.

That's entirely acceptable.

Matt Miller, @NFLDRAFTSCOUT, who I think is well connected, has heard KC is pursuing a left guard in free agency.

Wow...didn't see this coming. Guess we better get used to Joeckel at #1.

Strike 2

People in Philadelphia who I listen to say Andy Reid really likes Eric Fisher at OT. That doesn't mean he'll take him #1 though.

Thoughts:

1) ROFL

2) :spock:

3) :banghead: Makes the likelihood of them taking Joeckel higher by using him as RT for a year then moving to LT.

ThiTH ITH THICKENING!

The overreaction on this board is truly outstanding.

Benjamin Allbright ‏@NFLDraftMonster

Winston move a head scratcher if you're a #Chiefs fan. $700k in cap savings, over 6mil in dead money.


Brian McIntyre ‏@brian_mcintyre

Per @ProFootballTalk, #Chiefs are releasing RT Eric Winston. Move saves $5.5M in cash, $3.5M in cap space.


IDK which one is right

ANDY MOTHER****ING LEVITRE, BITCHES.

He wasn't exactly a fan favorite. Maybe they're just trying to flush all the bad feelings from last year.

The Kansas City Chiefs: Entirely Acceptable
