Biggs: Chiefs exploring trade options with Pollard

Move would create opening for Mike Brown in lineup

The Kansas City Chiefs are exploring options to trade strong safety Bernard Pollard, a move that would create an opening for veteran Mike Brown to move into the starting lineup, sources said.

The 24-year-old Pollard, a fourth-year pro from Purdue, has made 31 starts the last two seasons. He had 98 tackles and one interception last season. But Brown was signed in late June to push both Pollard and free safety Jarrad Page.

“The defensive backfield as a whole, I think, there’s excellent competition,’’ Haley said late last month when asked if Brown had pushed Pollard for the job. “I don’t think there’s anybody who feels real comfortable. Mike’s one of the reasons for that but I think that’s the way it is across the board there. Those guys know there is somebody right behind them that could be playing just as well as them. That’s how you get your team good.”

Brown spent the last nine seasons with the Chicago Bears but has been injury plagued since 2004. He held it together to start 15 games last season, but had to leave three games early down the stretch with a recurring calf muscle pull and finally missed the finale. He is an instinctive player and made 101 tackles last season, the third-highest total in his career.

But yet on this board, there was the "positional value" set that was ready to kick in the balls of anyone who mentioned Curry. And now, it's those same "positional value" guys who are all up on May's jock. A freakin' safety. That is, by it's very definition, hypocrisy.

I thought Curry got overhyped because everyone considered the top of the draft weak so it benefited him.

There is almost always a very very well thought of LB prospect in each draft they usually go somewhere in the 10 range.

Regardless, it's the point of people screaming "positional value" about a strong side backer, but then those same people are now saying it's okay to use a top five pick on a strong safety. I mean, Jesus H. Stop Dancing Christ on a stick! A mother trucking strong safety! And they bitched about a linebacker?!

I wouldn't mind it one bit if the Chiefs drafted O'Dowd with one of their second round picks next year - if he lasts that long.

It's because those safeties are rare, you see LB's like Curry a lot more often.
