Lelie hits FA market

[Hammock Parties]

C'mon...you can't tell me we couldn't use a talented guy like Lelie!

Jay Glazer of Fox Sports has learned that Atlanta Falcons’ wide receiver Ashley Lelie voided his contract on Friday and is now scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent. He had play-time incentives that allowed him to void the final year remaining on his contract. This likely makes him the top free agent wide out on the open market.


Lelie became expendable when the Broncos traded for Javon Walker but wanted out before that trade was ever made. Atlanta traded, in essence, RB T.J. Duckett through Washington, for Lelie during the preseason.


Lelie played in 15 games for the Falcons. He had 28 receptions for 430 yards and 1 TD.

[Easy 6]

Lelie = Alvin Harper

When motivated he can be a solid #2, problem is, we already have a roster full of #2's.

Can he play Defensive Tackle?

why do we keep responding to Gochiefs' threads?

I propose a night crew thread topic highjack law!


If any of us see him come up with a good topic than one of us makes another thread, albeit a repost, but instantly gains support from any and all night crewer.

I'd take Stallworth in a second.....too bad we wouldn't be able to utilize him.

I think we'd be pretty stupid if we didn't make a run at Donte' Stallworth...

Stallworth has been a beast every year of his career, his only problem is staying healthy.

When the guy is healthy, he's an elite wide receiver.

We won't be making a run at Donte' Stallworth....

Is that Brock speculation, or is that fact?

I read the other day that the Eagles are unlikely to resign him.

I would rather have a taller possession receiver, but it seems as if Kennison has pretty much became a possession receiver over the last few years rather than the deep threat he used to be.

How long have you been following the Chiefs?

Well I understand that...

But I think Carl is smart enough (no joke) to not draft a wide receiver in the first round.

I also know he realizes we need a receiver. So, the Chiefs are going to sign SOMEONE, and SOMEONE better than Rod Gardner.

They could sign Stallworth, a proven star with a good attitude.

Or they could sign Lelie, a headcase who really isn't all that good and is one dimensional.

Or they could look elsewhere.

I'm sure option #3 is the most likely, but Stallworth would definitely be nice.

[StcChief]

Stallworth yes. Lelie no.....

saying that Carl will get Lelie cause he will go cheaper.

[Sure-Oz]

I don't see why the eagles wouldn't re-sign him...they had a pretty good core of WR's esp with him in. When mcnabb was in Stallworth was on fire/.
