Chiefs agreed to terms with CBs Jason Horton and Will Poole on one-year contracts.

Poole, who was cut in Chiefs camp last offseason, hasn't played since 2004. Horton spent all of last year on Houston's injured reserve list.

Yawn.

What's for lunch?

I know nobody here remembers, but Poole came in late to last year's training camp. This gives him a chance to start off at the same time as everybody else. He's a darkhorse for that fifth CB spot if you ask me.

I still say our five CBs are Surtain, Flowers, Barksdale, Brack, and Carr. Poole may be good enough to put Carr on the practice squad.

I see it like this: JMO

Surtain, Flowers, Brack, Carr, Barksdale

I think only the first three Cornerback spots have been determined.
From there who knows...

I wonder if there's any chance Surtain is cut?

Nah. Not being Flowers cousin. I think he's gonna mentor these guys for a year os so. Show them how to be pros. I'm glad he's available to do that.
Flowers has some red flags, and it would be good to have someone like Pat around to watch him.

You make a good point.
I think we've got a gamer in Brackenridge (at Nickel).
Hopefully Carr turns out to be the other starter.
Patterson was impressive in spot duty as well, but I think he has a long way to go.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...25/mmqb/1.html

Big, big story. Don Banks covered it well two weeks ago, and you'll hear coaches moan about it when camp begins. Because teams are not allowed roster exemptions for players who played in NFL Europa or various other restricted lists, you'll see every team, in all likelihood, go to camp with fewer than 80 able-bodied players. (Players on the Physically Unable to Perform List count against the 80-man limit.) So if you have five or six players unable to practice because they're returning from offseason surgery or from various rehab stints, you'll have a comparatively bare-bones team starting training camp.

Polian thinks few teams, if any, will have two-a-day practices this summer on consecutive days. Many teams have phased out back-to-back two-a-days, but a few teams still like to run them early in camp. My theory is that, on average, each team will have one fewer player at almost every position group practicing this summer -- and that eight- and 10-year veterans are going to be ticked off that they're having to run so many extra repetitions in camp, leading to an increased chance of injury. "We have the fifth preseason game this year, the Hall of Fame game,'' Polian said on Sirius. "Had we known we'd have had 80-man rosters, we never would have agreed to play that game.''

I've felt all along, and still do, that owners are going to use this as a bargaining chip in negotiations with players over the new CBA. But it's going to be kind of a hollow chip. Owners aren't going to increase regular-season rosters if they agreed to, say, an 85-man roster limit for training camp. Owners would simply be allowing more players to attend training camp. So while owners won't be able to say they're adding, say, 170 jobs to the NFL workforce, the NFLPA would be able to tells its rank-and-file that 170 more players would get to go to camp for a chance to win a job.

I have a feeling about this Carr kid. We'll see,

If a former mediocre CB who hasn't played a down in the NFL in over four seasons actually makes the Chiefs roster, we're in far more trouble than I could have ever suspected.

Yup. I'd rather have an UDFA.

Look for the jewels. Don't waste time on those who have proven to have no luster.
Give others a shot to prove themselves. You have tape on Poole.

Micjones · 05-27-2008, 04:46 PM

Surtain will likely stay on with the team.
I think the Rookies will absolutely get their shot.
As will Brackenridge.

If Poole does make the team it'll be at the expense of a Patterson or Barksdale.
