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.

You'll see!

I'll see him on another team because I ever see Pollard amount to anything other than a ****ing doorstop, let alone Chiefs MVP.

And Pollard is 100% responsible for us getting Cassel.

Just think what kind of season we would be looking forward to if not for that.

And who was the last Chief to block a punt. Uh huh!

Wait till they use a really high pick on.....Vince Oghobaasse.

Bill Williamson is reporting Page is being shopped, too.

Wouldn't it be crazy if Morgan and Brown wound up starting, with McGraw and Price as the backups?

Yes, it would be crazy. Or insane. Take your pick.

The Chiefs are prepping that spot for Taylor Mays already.

Dump them both.

Neither will ever be top flight defensive players. Get what you can and move on.

This team's gonna suck, without or without Page & Pollard.

Let's move on.

Aaron Francisco is a worthless safety. Easily one of the worst in the league in my opinion.

What part of "Brown is no longer worth a ****" isn't sinking in?

This is funny after all the hype that was given to Page and Pollard...I'm not a fan of either.

Mays, Berry. Either way I will be ecstatic.

Mays would fit a 3-4 pretty well IMO.

Look, I get it.

But IMO, if the Chiefs can get something for Pollard or Page, they do it.

Pollard's absolutely ****ing worthless and Page can't tackle.

They're both a liability and they both suck.

Mays is going to work SS this year which is good because that will give him experience at both safety spots.

Only thing I like about Page right now is that he has become more vocal during this offseason. I feel like he fully understands what Haley/Pioli want him to do. Now him doing it is another story.
