Chiefs Watson, Mankins, Wilfork and Seymour to be F/A's

Another 'Patriot becoming a Chief' thread.

With Scott Pioli, Charlie Weis and (assuming) Romeo Crennel coming to Kansas City within one year, could they attract any of these four to Kansas City? All four players started their careers in New England and have been a Patriot their entire career with the exception of one. All four become free agents this year according to http://www.footballsfuture.com/freeagents.html. It wouldn't be easy to sign all of these players, but at least one, if not two, would be nice.

TE Ben Watson--Only knew Weis for a little bit, but was drafted while Pioli was in New England and they've been together for a couple years.

OL Logan Mankins--Unlike Watson, never played under Weis, but was drafted while Pioli was in New England, so I imagine that if the Chiefs make an attempt to get him, or if Mankins was interested in becoming a Chief, Pioli would be part of the reason.

DL Vince Wilfork/DL Richard Seymour (played with Oakland this year.)--Both played under Crennel and have been successful. Even though Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson are younger, I would not mind seeing one of these guys (or both) be replaced. I know the Chiefs spent their first draft pick in 08/09 to grab these guys, but I would not mind if we replace Dorsey and/or Jackson with one of those two. Also, I know there are not many Mike Vrabel fans out there, but I imagine Vrabel would be better if he played with them. It was clear Vrabel wasn't thrilled to become a Chief after the success his career consisted of. But if Crennel and one of those two defensive linemen came, I would not mind seeing him stay for another year.

Again, signing all four doesn't sound realistic, but with the new staff, I'd be willing to say at least one of the four will be signed, if not, at least an attempt at getting one of the four. All four are an upgrade over what we have.
