Chiefs A look at 2014 Free Agents - Who should we pursue? - Page 4

Strongside · 01-06-2014, 01:01 PM

Obviously, there are several vulnerable spots on the roster that could and should be improved upon. John Dorsey isn't a huge free agency guy, or hasn't been in the past, and will no doubt look to improve many of our problems through the draft. There are, however, several big name guys that could garner some attention from the Chiefs. Here are a few positions that I think we need to improve upon, and the 2014 FA's for those positions (age of FA shown). Feel free to add to the mix. I've bolded a few players that I think we may show interest in.

3 of our OL are coming up as FA's (Schwartz, Asamoah, and Albert) so we'll need to pick up a few pieces or resign some guys. I'm betting Albert is gone.

Who should we pursue? Who should we avoid?

Discuss.

WR
Eric Decker, 26
Jeremy Maclin, 25
Julian Edelman, 27
Hakeem Nicks, 25
Anquan Boldin, 33
Golden Tate, 25
Kenny Britt, 25
Riley Cooper, 26
Emmanuel Sanders, 26

TE
Jimmy Graham, 27 (Saints would be full reerun to let him go)
Dennis Pitta, 28
Brandon Pettigrew, 28
Fred Davis, 27
Garret Graham, 27

OG
Jon Asamoah, 25
Geoff Schwartz, 27
Travelle Wharton, 32
Richie Incognito, 30
Kevin Booth, 30

OT
Branden Albert, 29 (possible franchise tag again?)
Zach Streif, 30
Eugene Monroe, 26
Jared Veldheer, 26
Michael Oher, 27
Austin Howard, 26

DE
Greg Hardy, 25 (not going anywhere)
Jared Allen, 31 (4-3 guy)
Michael Johnson, 26 wishful thinking here.
Lamaar Houston, 26
Justin Tuck, 30
Arthur Jones, 27
Robert Ayers, 28

LB (we need help at Jordan's spot)
Brandon Spikes, 26
Karlos Dansby, 32 (many here wanted him last time around)
Jon Beason, 28
Jonathan Vilma, 31 If Sutton stays, expect Vilma to get a look for a short-term deal.
Daryl Smith, 31

CB
Brent Grimes, 30
DRC, 27
Vontae Davis, 25
Aqib Talib, 27
Charles Tillman, 32
Captain Munnerlyn, 25
Chris Harris, 24
Others could be listed here as well.

SProbably our most glaring need, after Kendrick's debacle of a season
Jairus Byrd, 27 (will likely be tagged again)
TJ Ward, 27
Donte Whitner, 28 (SF may not be able to afford him. We may not either.)
Bernard Pollard, 29
James Ihedigbo, 30
Major Wright, 25
Chris Clemons, 28
Antione Bethea, 29

Those are just a few to get us started. Go.

Oh that's just great, we'll get the Riley Cooper consolation prize instead.

I say we go after Bigfoot. Extremely elusive, great size, good speed and, judging by the Jack Links commercials, has a great arm.

Doesn't really seem like a team player though. Also not sure he'd be able to contribute in the "Family!" breakdowns conducted here.

With a talent like that we just can't pass. We just have to get him to sign up for the draft because nobody can find him.

**Easy 6** · 01-06-2014, 02:58 PM

If Hawkins is one of those Steve Smith type guys who's able to play bigger than his size, lets do it.

Sorter · 01-06-2014, 02:59 PM

Is Kyle Williams still on the roster next year?

Bowe, Avery/Draft selection/FA, Williams/Draft selection/FA, Jenkins/Draft selection/FA, Hemmingway, DMC.

Looking at it like that, I could see them not doing a ****ing thing to the WR group. JFC.

I know this guy from Brasil who's related. He can help us.

This is him after feeding:

I think you start this offseason by extending Berry until ~2022. Maybe you restructure Tamba Hali if he is willing as well.

Then I target the following players:
QB: Jake Locker
RB: Andre Brown
WR: Decker, Edelman, Ford, Maclin, Sanders (if he escapes, omg...), Tate, Cooper, Britt (maybe...)
TE: Chandler, Finley, Olsen
OL: Albert, Beadles, Mack (hahahahhahahaha), Oher, Monroe, Veldheer, Saffold, Schwartz, Strief
DL: Cody, Hardy (as a hand in the dirt pass-rusher), L Houston, Jackson, Soliai
LB: Briggs, Butler, Dansby, Orakpo, Phillips, Vilma
CB: Browner, Davis, Grimes, Rodgers-Cromartie, Shields, Talib
S: Abdullah, Demps, Byrd, Jenkins, Ward, Whitner (Move Berry to FS?)
K: Carpenter

this list is obviously incomplete, but I gave it a shot. Basically, it appears there are a lot of free agents that can help the Chiefs improve in starting positions and depth. Factor that with a good draft and this team is a lot more complete next year.
