Maybe Carl has plans after all?

We'll see.

We let T-Rich go, I hope we can make up for it by getting a really good player on defense.

DJJasonp · 03-21-2006, 02:52 PM

didnt we get a new director of player personnel?

Man...not a good decision at all....this is going to hurt.

WOnder how Rufus will "spin" this one....

****.

Chiefnj · 03-21-2006, 02:56 PM

Carl re-signed Carlos Hall and Damon Huard. What more do you greedy SOB's want??

It would have been better if T Rich went to Washington; the Planet meltdown would have been just a tad bit more fun that way.

I just can't get bent out of shape over the loss of a 34 year old FB who's best days are way behind him.

Oh it wouldn't surprise me if he went into content explaining how he admires Carl Petersons business savy. He'll look for ways to show that the Chiefs are doing a good job. All bullsh*t.

It's the NFL folks. Older, fan favorite players move on all the time. They want more $ than the hometown team can afford, or feels is worthy of an aging player. It sucks, but it is what it is.

C'mon man....what is a 2 year, 2.5 million dollar deal? For one of the better blocking FB's in the league?

The Chiefs passed on this. Failing to realize T-Rich was one of their better players the last 5,6 years. This sucks. This organization lost something "good" today.

Clearly a bad move letting him go. He was one of our better blockers, and I don't care what anyone says, he contributed largely to the success of Priest Holmes, and Larry Johnson. We lost a good guy. Makes me think, WTF are the Chiefs REALLY doing this off-season?

Losing Tony Richardson made you think what the **** we are doing?

I'm not terribly pissed about this. Yeah, he was a great lead blocker. There are a lot of great lead blockers out there.

1.25 million per year is some change for a position that typically makes the league minimum.

He did have a hand in their success. But their success began and ended with the offensive line and they are still around, which is far more important.

Go out and sign Fred Beasley for half of what T-Rich got and we won't miss a whole lot except for his leadership.

ct · 03-21-2006, 03:07 PM

I'm not likin this either RedBull. But answer me this, how much do FBs make?

I don't know how much FB's make. But I definately woulda gave T-Rich his 1.25 million per year.

Inspector · 03-21-2006, 03:39 PM

So....did we come to a concensus?

Is it a spleen or a kidney?

Bad Guy Im upset because we lost an integral part of our offense. yeah you can replace T-Rich with a Fred Beasley. But my point is, why not even elect to re-sign T-Rich? He's been here a long time, and is familiar with the teams chemistry and success. Something you don't want to mess up.

I know we have a good line, but losing a great FB really hurts. T-Rich was a great blocker, and I'm wondering who do we have that will be able to pickup and contain blitzes the way he did?

Chiefnj · 03-21-2006, 03:40 PM

It just happens that the NYJ's FB is a free agent.

Integral? Yeah, he was great. But there are blocking backs available in free agency. In terms of severe importance, I'd list him as the 10th most important player on this offense.

1 being Green, 2 being Roaf, 3 - LJ, 4 - Gonzalez, 5- Waters, 6- Shields, 7- Weigmann, 8 - Welbourne, 9- Kennison, 10- T-Rich, 11-Parker.

I just don't see the reason to pump over a million into a position that there are younger options for.

I'm not ragging on T-Rich here. I loved him as a Chief. Great guy. But, he's 34 and you don't give 34-year olds 2.5 million over 2 years in a position that isn't really compensated in the NFL.

As I said, Fred Beasley could do just as good of a job as a blocking back as T-Rich.
