Chiefs "The way it looks now back-up Geoff Schwartz ... will likely sign elsewhere." - Page 6

So says the guy who runs draftinsider.net, Tony Pauline, talking to people all week at the Combine:

Quote:

Kansas City Chiefs:

I'm told Branden Albert may not be the only veteran offensive lineman out the door in Kansas City. The way it looks now back-up Geoff Schwartz, who received heavy interest at the combine, will likely sign elsewhere.

Follow Tony Pauline @TonyPauline.

He's also reporting the rumor that the Raiders want to try to re-sign McFadden, but they are unlikely to pull it off.

Ugh.

I suppose this also raises the flag for Rishaw Johnson, who looked excellent against the Chargers. And for folks like BossChief, it also raises the flag for Hudson at guard with Kush taking over starting center duties.

But let's face the facts here: Schwartz is an excellent guard that we could have for relative peanuts.

You're over-dramatic.

He was horrible the 2nd half of last season.

If any of the articles online are to believed he was fighting injuries...

Chill out people. This is the time of year when GM's and coaches aren't very truthful. Reports like this come out every year. Everything will work itself out

Who the **** is Tony Pauline?
Why should we put any stock in anything he has to say?

mcaj22 · 02-26-2014, 04:02 PM

i called Schwartz getting overpaid on the open market and got bashed for it because people here thought we were going to keep him for cheap. It was so obvious his play at guard was being noticed by teams with even shittier olines and a lot of cap space.

**Rain Man** · 02-26-2014, 04:04 PM

How the h*** did we lose a 28 point lead? HOW? HOW?

Sorry. That just slips out sometimes when we talk about football.

Titty Meat · 02-26-2014, 04:06 PM

This makes no sense. Schwartz can also play right tackle and will be needed for the often injured Fisher.

chiefzilla1501 · 02-26-2014, 04:59 PM

I really like the job Schwartz did.

But right now, we have Allen, Hudson, Rokevius Watkins... and they can all do an adequate job at a position that's not that important. Kush can start at Center, and Allen and Hudson can be plug-ins for Kush later.

Plus we have the draft and undrafted rookies.

I would like to keep Schwartz, but I don't want to overpay a guy to play Guard.

There was a huge difference in the offense when Schwartz became the starter. Asamoah just doesn't have the skillz...

Stop being reasonable dammit...

If we let Albert and Schwartz walk what's the average age of our offensive line going to be?

It isn't a big deal, but people on here are very defensive when it comes to their delusional thinking of the Chiefs. Case and point, we can keep Geoff Schwartz cheap. Then reality hits and panic mode starts, i.e. this thread. I've accepted it long ago that our line will be fine with other/better players.
