Chiefs are releasing RT Eric Winston, per league source.

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

@nfldraftscout there are some serious injury concerns

Looks like he's hurt

He was never advertised as a good pass blocking RT

That's what I thought as well, although a deep threat would be nice for the QB we draft 1.1 (still hoping).

Well that's a kick in the balls. Contrary to what people that are butthurt about his comments will say, he was pretty good last year.

nychief · 03-07-2013, 01:06 PM

sounds like he is injured. I dont think Reid and Dorsey give a shit about his comments.... and his contract was cheap.

mcaj22 · 03-07-2013, 01:06 PM

this Baldwin to convert to a TE stuff is hilarious

even as a pass catching TE he would still be listed as a TE on the depth chart, and you always want your TEs to be able to block, play special teams, etc and he cant do ANY of that, never probably learned any of that his entire football career and has no fundamentals of that type of stuff. He's purely a WR with the mindset of a WR, run, jump, route tree, catch a 1000 balls in practice etc. You asking him to essentially start running drills with the offensive lineman, for at least one if not both practices.

Even Gronk and Hernandez on the Pats still know how to line up on the LOS and know how to run block. You magically think Jon Baldwin is going to be able to block some big huge DE or fast OLBer the guy cant even beat the strength of a 5'9 CB jamming him at the line

Winston thinks his release indicates the #Chiefs are going to go with a tackle at the top of the draft.

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-07-2013, 01:09 PM

If they let him go just to draft Jekyll, it'd be one of the biggest fails in team draft history

Bootlegged · 03-07-2013, 01:10 PM

Joeckel and S. Floyd.

That's great and all but we were talking about some dufus on NFLN and his "accurate" predictions. Those guys are so hellbent on the Chiefs taking a LT that they keep getting more outlandish with their predictions.

RTs are intentionally taken at #1 all of the time.

I just cant see that. Its too easy. Why would they release Winston now and show everyone what they are going to do?

It would be a sad, sad day if we find out that the Chiefs released Winston for the sole purpose of creating a hole for Joeckel to fill.

"No place for Joeckel to play? We'll make one!"

Because he's injured and/or doesn't fit the offense and they want the extra cap space?

**gblowfish** · 03-07-2013, 01:19 PM

I know why they cut him.
One: he's the union rep. The Clarks hate unions.

Two: It's hard to pass block with a retroverted uterus. Makes it hard to get out of your stance quickly.

I'm just going to give up predicting what this regime is going to do. I just don't understand what they're doing.
