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.

G Billy Yates from the pats. only 11 starts in 5 years in NE but they must like him as a backup or something to keep being brought back.

I dont really know if you can say Whitner is better than Pollard yet. Maybe the same.

Landry is a Free Saftey dude.

Here we go.

Landry is 24
Michael Griffin is 24
Reggie Nelson is 25
Brandon Merriweather is 25
Donte Whitner is 24
Kenny Phillips is 22

So I think that kind of shoots down the Pollard age thing seeing how good numerous of those guys are.

Um dude if you don't think Whitner is better than Pollard you are high...Whitner is one of the best safeties in the league.

And anymore it's not worth it to do FS and SS because guys interchange, Whitner plays both.

i didn't think Thomas will make it anyway. Belcher makes it for special teams alone. Haley said he would keep 1 or 2 spots for coverage guys not just the K/P/LS.

A lot of those guys you named are Free Safeties. Im lookin for Strong Safeties, which is what Pollard is.

Pollard is a poor mans Greg Wesley with far less ballhawking skills.

I dont see how Whitner is one of the best safeties. Hes not shown much since hes been drafted. Hes got talent, I dont see it put on the field yet though.

Because he doesn't have giant pick numbers?

Whitner is an outstanding player.
