FA QB's: Brees, Harrington, McCown
 

We need a QBOTF. I also suspect that Joey Harrington will be available. I'm also hoping that with Brees' shoulder surgery SD will not put the franchise tag on him again and let him go in the offseason.

If so, he'd now come cheaper than he otherwise would have given his risk (and the Chad Pennington experience). He's my #1 QBOTF candidate at the right price.

Failing that, I'm hoping that Harrington gets a 2nd chance in KC. I also like Josh McCown a little. Certainly as a #2 or #3. I'm afraid we will end up with Jamie Martin again.


Anyway, this is the only list I've been able to find so far.

Any other options that might become available this year?

Yes, Matt Schaub from Atlanta. Although he's not a FA, I imagine they might be open to a trade. He'll never play there, he's cheap, smart, accurate and has decent mobility.

Dante Culpepper? Aaron Brooks?

Seneca Wallace in Chief colors would be awesome.

Wet dream much?
Hell no.
Why?

I don't know if we can afford to trade for a backup QBOTF. Not with the draft and FA available.

Brees shoulder injury is something that will be a b**** for him. I had the same injury to both shoulders, thearpy should do the trick but they will always be screwed up. Surgury puts you out forever and should be avoided unless its very serious.

Given what Carl does with draft picks, giving up our second rounder would save us a great deal of suffering. I'd trade the next Junior Siavii or Eddie Freeman for Schaub. Although Mitchell's turned out okay.

Personally I'd much rather have a (potentially) healthy Brees on the cheap or a #4 overall pick in Harrington both of which (in theory) would be free to us and have both shown more potential than Schaub. If Schaub were a FA, I'd say he might be at the top of my list. But given that he's not, I'm not willing to trade for him.

I might be alone in this view.

That sucks Brees will be out 2 months for sure with surgery.

I'm not sure how cheap Brees would be after the year he's had. Somebody like Balt would probably outbid us, and offer him the starting job (provided he's healthy). As far as Harrington, he's been surrounded by high draft choices and still hasn't done much but screw up and force Detroit to bring in Jeff Garcia. Schaub lit up New England and has looked good the seldom he's played.

There is nothing on that menu that makes me think there is a QBOTF for the Chiefs. That is quite a list of 3rd stringers at best.
Brees recent shoulder injuries concern me enough to say pass.

Breees isn't going to come to KC to sit on the bench behind Green. He's proven he can be a starter that deserves starter pay. Why come to KC and be a back-up when he could go to numerous teams and be the man?

The rest of those guys are has-beens and never-weres.

Now is the time to draft a QB. This draft is heavy enough on QB prospects that we could get one outside of round 1. He can sit behind Green for two years and learn the ropes. Green has to realize his days are numbered, and I believe he would be an excellent mentor.

Just say no to Brees. His leash is WAY too short.
