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.

Is that what that little blue square means ?

if pollard is traded i don't think brown should be handed the job. Maybe this could really open Morgan's eyes that if he continues to get better he could get snaps on d and maybe even be the #1 SS at the end of the year.

Or they could move Page down to SS and start McGraw which is less likely.

Reading is not your strongest suit is it billay? The point I was trying to make(that obviously did not register with your vast intellect) was that Francisco is likely better than what the Chiefs currently have on the roster at the safety position, your injury prone boy Mike Brown included.

I disagree. Fransico wasn't even better than Matt Ware.

LOL I did like Ko Simpson he's never really played to the level he showed in college, then he said something reeruned.

What happened with Alford? He had a knee injury a couple weeks ago...

Pollards missed tackles from the seattle game are a flat out embarrassment. Look on the goatse thread and the gifs as proof. Plus the film they had on him from last year and i think the gave him a clean slate and he blew it.

If they can't trade him i wouldn't mind keeping him as a backup for his special team skills and get back to his punt blocking form he had as a rook.

Titty Meat · 09-04-2009, 05:48 PM

Wow the Bears released Marcus Freeman.

KCrockaholic · 09-04-2009, 05:49 PM

The only thing I would not like about this is that Pollard is young. Hes the same age as some rookies in the league today. When your still that young, you still have plenty of room to grow and get better. Pollard may be very average now. But you never know what a player can turn into when they still have potential. Think, about it... Can you name me a SS in the league today that is the same age or younger than Pollard and has already proven to be better? I dont think so, for his age he still has a lot of room left to improve. I dont think this would be a good move to trade him, if anything put him at 2nd string.

Mecca · 09-04-2009, 05:49 PM

Releasing a draft pick and Freeman was a good pick for that round....

booger · 09-04-2009, 05:50 PM

on a side note the cards cut TE leonard Pope who could be our second or third te.

Cottam plays like a scarred puppy dog.

Yea and Freeman was a good player in college not sure if he's a 3-4 player but worth a look. They also released Dominic Rioala. Once upon a time he was a good center and might be better then what the Chiefs have. Sign em'

LaRon Landry. I think Donte Whitner is the same age also.

Ah, I knew he tore something but it was like an MCL and something else not an ACL...I think they IR'd him just to save a roster spot and not lose him their DL depth is stupid good.

The rook from Ohio State? Hmm, he did have pass rush ability in college. I guess hes just too short to play OLB in the NFL.
