...... because the lineman we have on the roster now aren't offensive enough!

Actually, the news was broken on our website.

Wait. Two guards for a late-round pick? That makes no sense. Unless Miami was on crack at the time of the deal.

When the someone pushes our O-line around, our Front Office pushes back!

Of course it makes sense.

They were going to be cut. The Chiefs gave them compensation so that both players wouldn't be picked up by Detroit or St. Louis, both of which have offensive line and depth issues.

Uh, not it's not.

They were running with the third team. Miami has a ton of depth. It's not like they gave up first day picks. They probably gave up a 7th 2011.

91% complete. /Herm/

Could be, but I'll take the word of the Dolphin camp reporter Petro had on that they were in no danger of not making the team until a source with further information provides info stating otherwise.

**MahiMike** · 08-24-2009, 02:28 PM

Can we play both at the same time and only use 2 WR's?

I've just never seen TWO players traded for one late-round pick. I mean, you really have to suck to be traded for a late-round pick, so for two guys to be traded for one late-rounder is basically saying, "Look, by league rules, we couldn't ask the Chiefs for a twelve-pack of jocks and a case of Gatorade..."

Sure. The "Max Max Max Protect" offense: five O-linemen, an O-lineman as TE, and another O-lineman as FB. Cassel has easy choices: hand it to LJ, or throw it to Bowe or Toomer. Of course, both will be triple-covered, so he's really gonna have to thread the needle...

Per KCChiefs depth chart they are listed as backups for the guard positions.

I guess it's a good idea for both parties. The Chiefs avoid having to wait and see if the guys clear waivers; the Fins get something of value for two guys they would have otherwise cut. If neither works out, big deal; a 6th or 7th round pick is chump change to a wheeler-dealer like Pioli.
