Eagles release WR Jason Avant, per league source. PFT
 

Welcome to Kansas City...

Avant us to sign him!

No thanks.

Really hope he doesn't show up here

Cam we just get a slapdick released repository?

If he wants to show up and try to take Avery's job or something, that's fine

i just don't want him screwing up the process of drafting a WR

We could....but you either end up with everyone complaining that they hate mega-threads or you end up with someone starting it who ends up falling behind on keeping it up to date.

Thanks but no thanks.

Still bears a new thread for EVERY jobber that gets released.

hot old garbage.

I sure hope not. Dude will be 31 in a little over a month. I imagine Avant is out of the league now.

If they decide to cut Avery, draft a rookie and not re-sign McCluster....that gives us what?

Bowe
Rookie
Jenkins
Hemmingway

As long as he's cheap....I'd have no problem with Avant being a #4 or #5 WR.

Yet people find it funny when spin off threads take over the entire ****ing front page.

No.

True. I don't even think it's important enough to mention.

Yeah like yesterday when everything was Lou. I don't know what was going on with that but, I knew just to leave because there was nothing football oriented going on.

You see the name on the thread, don't open it.


it's not like the CP traffic level during this time of the year is good anyway.

Nope

He'd be a good #4 WR at the slot. He is sure handed and a locker room leader.

Exactly.

Everybody wants to draft a WR, but who do you have to help him learn the position?

Avant is a much better influence on a young stud than Bowe, IMO.

I'd give him < 1 million for sure.

He could probably be had at the league veteran minimum.

He catches everything thrown in his general direction.

No thanks...even though this is the exact kind of player the chiefs would pick up in FA.

Slower than **** though.

Who gives a **** when it's your 4th or 5th WR? Not every WR on this team is going to be a burner.

as long as we pick him up to be the 4th receiver


If we pick him up expecting him to be our #2 then we have a problem

He vants to catch a lot of balls, yeah!

Its bad when you dont have anyone with great speed and cant seperate and keep secondaries honest downfield. Whos our burner Jenkins? Lmao. This team needs not just a little depth at WR....chiefs needs someone that can play opposite of Bowe. Avant isn't nor shouldnt be that guy

Why do you care? Honestly, I have no idea why people give a shit that a new thread gets started. It doesn't affect you in the ****ing slightest, except that you're in here posting.

Then again, if its completely irrational, which it appears to be, then me bitching about it won't do any good.

Carry on.

But seriously, why do people care?

Whatever, it doesn't matter. Nevermind.





























(but seriously why)

Odell Beckham.

Absolutely no one has advocated bringing him in to play opposite of Bowe. The people that want to bring him in are wanting to also draft a WR like Beckham or Cooks in the 1st round to play opposite Bowe.

I agree. Just more of the same....However, as someone mentioned earlier, he is a locker room guy and would be a good influence on the young WR's.

Exactly.

All I care about is can he catch the ****ing ball. Who did I have the most faith in other than Jamaal to catch the ball last season?.....Dexter McCluster.....NIce, but he's not all that

I would be just fine with...

Bowe
Beckham/Cooks
Jenkins
Avant
Hemmingway

Your #4/5 receiver is only on the field for specific situations, and a sure handed smart headed guy is exactly what I want in that role.

AJ Jenkins? Some midget street FA bouncing on/off the roster? CFL superstar? Avant would be more reliable option than any of them imo.

Yeah because I would hate for football news to push Don't call me Shirley or MR Doggity on TV threads off the front page! I swear why do people bitch about football news being posted on a football board???

Will kc still take a wr if they sign Avant?

Don't we still have Avery?

If taking Avant mean passing another a young stud WR then i don't want him.


I don't see what it would though

Let Avery,Jenkins and Hemingway compete for a spot.

Yes....but there is a rumor out there that the Chiefs might cut Avery.

If the rumor true and it give us more cap space to resign Smith and give Houston a extension then I'm okay with that.

Tyler Bray

This.:)

Baring a trade Dorsey could use the other five draft picks on an O-lineman and across the defense.

I wouldn't be interested until late in free agency.

This is not only a fantastic receiver class in the draft, it's also a deep free agency crop of receivers.

There are better options than a 31 year old player.

Why do you care that I care?

I have no idea!

Why would they cut Avery and sign Avant? Avery's contract isn't THAT crippling. Not only that, but Avery adds a dimension to the offense that we currently do not have.

He's not brilliant, and we should probably look to find a better WR2, but Avery is younger than Avant, faster, and just plain better.

Avery and Avant are a wash IMO, one guys faster, the other has better hands... but if I had to choose I'll keep the speed.

I'm with you.

**** catching the ball!

I just want to watch someone run down the field.

.

I know right? it sucked watching him blow by everyone for a 79 yard td!

Are we doing this stupid circular bitching crap again?

"Our guys ****ing suck at catching the ball! Bring in some sure-handed veterans and keep those training camp guys who didn't drop it in preseason!"

"Our QB has nobody to throw to! Nobody's open! We need some speed to stretch the defense and get open!"

"That guy we brought in last year doesn't catch the ball! Replace him with this slow veteran guy who just got cut!"

... etc.

LOL.

He is worth a once-in-a-season catch like that I suppose.

I'm saying you replace Avery and McCluster with Beckham/Cooks and Avant. Avant is your 4th or 5th WR at vet minimum.

Sounds like Avery could be more of a cut closer to training camp, ya know after they see if AJ Jenkins figured out how to not be a horrible bust.

Yeah, I know. I was referring to Tomahawk's post where he brought up "**** CATCHING THE BALL LAWL"

What, no mention of Westin Dressler? Tape of him I've seen reminds me of Welker. I completely realize that it is tape of the Canadian football league, but I still have hopes that we got lucky with a diamond in the rough. No one else giving this guy a chance in hell?

Why would you? He's literally "nobody".

The Reid connection should be able to get this done

Warren Moon

SUCK IT, CANUCK HATERZ!

He played for the University of North Dakota in college. I've seen what he can do as a football player.

He was an adequate weapon for the team when they were playing Portland State and Cal-Davis. Adequate. Not brilliant. He wasn't shredding those teams by any measure. He was just okay. He's probably improved since playing in Canada now, but even then he's got no size or speed advantage that we didn't already have with McCluster. And McCluster actually turned into a decent receiving option on short-middle range slants. Dressler has about a 1% chance of even replicating what we got out of McCluster last season.

At 1% of the salary to maybe go out and pick up a #2 WR? I'm just saying if he can produce somewhere near what we had with McCluster, that would be a huge gain... no?

Guys like Dressler are fun stories that rarely pan out. A lot of guys could be amazing if they got a running start at the LOS. I doubt he will translate well to the NFL but at least the older guys have there great white hope for this camp.

Where is McCluster bud?

Has anyone heard any rumors of a team that was interested in McCluster?
Wonder how much coin teams really think he's worth?
Wouldn't mind bringing him back if it's not steep.

If Avery can find a way to catch the ball more consistently, he can be a real weapon.

Trouble is, he hasn't shown the ability to do that yet.

He is one of the fastest players in the league and is a matchup nightmare to almost any corner...trouble is...what good is it if someone gets open but drops the ball?
