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.

Going after a safety with the first rd pick when our oline is garbage and noone behind bowe would be dumb

How many times does it need to be said that you can put together a very good O line without spending first round picks at every position? WR maybe, but drafting an O linemen in the first next season(especially where the Chiefs are likely to be drafting) is nuts.

He'd be an upgrade, IMO.

The dude who lost Arizona the super bowl? No thanks.

unless he can Block and play wide reciever at the same time i just dont think it would be a good idea. we will most likely be picking in the top 3 again. has anyone ever picked a safety that high?

Wow, you're a bigger ****ing reerun than I thought.

Yeah, the guy that was beat by an almost indefensible pass.

Sean Taylor went I believe 5th...

You don't scoff at a super high level prospect just because. I don't like next years WR prospects atleast not in the top 10 and there is no ****ing way they should be taking an OT that high.

I don't know how you can really say the Super Bowl was lost. That was just a phenomenal catch by Holmes. Holmes WON the Super Bowl with that catch. DRC was just as much if not more to blame too.

Yeah!

It'd be stupid to have a Jake Long or a Eugene Monroe on your line.

Mecca · 09-04-2009, 05:19 PM

I have never seen a fan base overrate OL like this one does, you'd think you need 5 first round HOF level lineman to stand a chance.

No moron, I'm talking about when Holmes caught a 10 yard pass and went 60 yards cuz of Fransicos dumbassery.

Or just fall down, I mean even if he hits you he'll have taken a bad angle and barely get one hand on you.
