I agree with that.

Kawika to Buffalo

http://www.buffalonews.com/258/story/288087.html

The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with New York Giants free-agent outside linebacker Kawika Mitchell, The Buffalo News has learned.

Meanwhile, former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud of the Jacksonville Jaguars is scheduled to visit the Bills today. Stroud is not a free agent but has been given permission from the Jaguars to seek a trade.

Mitchell, 28, is a five-year veteran who started 16 games for the Super Bowl champions last season. He's 6-foot-1 and 253 pounds. He figures to be an immediate upgrade at strong-side linebacker for the Bills' defense.

Mitchell is expected in Buffalo later today to sign a contract.

ESPN.com front page is reporting Anderson and Cleveland have reached a deal, and that the Vilma to the Saints trade is done as well.

Andre Davis resigned with them. I assume he'll be their returner.

I'd move on Stroud, he's a stud, no ifs ands or buts about that one.

As if Stroud doesn't have HIS own injury problems?

blueballs · 02-29-2008, 11:51 AM

This offense needs all the help it can get
if you want the D to give them a short field -STs too
it may be worth it to sign a know product even on a young team

I wouldn't call these pickups ''rebuilding the franchise'', they are more like essential plugs in some gaping holes.

Roaf was 31 when we signed him...

Don't use that as your norm. Deals with players that old don't normally end up that well.

melbar · 02-29-2008, 12:53 PM

Looking at the NFL.com free agent news page and not one mention of the Chiefs even talking to or planning to meet anyone.

Jerry Porter-WR-Jaguars Feb. 29 - 1:25 pm et

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that the Jaguars agreed to terms with Jerry Porter on a six-year, $30 million contract, with $10 million guaranteed.

That's almost reasonable in this market. Jacksonville likes their wideouts bulky and Porter will help in the red zone, hurting Reggie Williams. Porter will start, probably opposite Williams or Matt Jones, with Dennis Northcutt in the slot. Porter should be a solid starter, their nominal "number one," but his fantasy potential is limited to WR3/4 status in a conservative spread-the-wealth offense. Troy Williamson's chance to make an impact just went down.

Chiefs miss out on Faine, ready for Falcons linebacker's visit
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
The Chiefs were anticipating today’s arrival of Atlanta linebacker Demorrio Williams as the NFL’s free agent market opened.

The Chiefs were hoping for a visit from one of their other top free-agent targets, Seattle kicker Josh Brown.

They never had a chance for New Orleans center Jeff Faine, who quickly accepted an offer from Tampa Bay.

Dallas cornerback Jacques Reeves was scheduled to meet with the Chiefs on Tuesday.

Their plans for Williams were immediately unclear. One starting linebacker is Derrick Johnson, who is only 25 and played well last season.

But the Chiefs were disappointed in Napoleon Harris, who signed as a free agent last year. They are also concerned with the advancing age of the third starter, Donnie Edwards, who will be 35 in April.

Williams, 27, started for the Falcons at outside linebacker last season.
