Thanks for the info, I read through 5 pages of the "Chiefs have a new WR" thread and found only whining and guesses. I'll take a new thread with facts any day.

3 years, $5 Million. $1 Million signing bonus.

That info was in the other thread.

Only 18 receptions in '07 but 16 first downs and 3 t.d.'s = productive when he does get the ball.

you mean like you're whining now?

This is a solid signing. Darling's better than any Receiver on the roster not named Bowe and could develop into a legitimate #2 with the opportunity.

This should also help us get the most out of Webb now that he has a real shot at breaking into the starting lineup. My money's on Darling, but having him here improves our pass-catching situation.

I'd still draft a Wide Receiver in the Middle Rounds of the Draft though.

Sure, If a post of appreciation and statement of what I read in the other thread is whining. Slow offseason leads to increased bitching i guess.

18 of his 20 receptions occurred last year. Not amazing numbers by any means, but it sounds like he's starting to learn how to play in the league. We picked up a young 3rd rounder without having to give up any picks of our own, sounds like a decent acquisition. Granted he's not the big name we'd all like to see, but it has become obvious Carl won't grant that wish this offseason.

Print 'em! He was the missing link

. Now we just need a tackle, center, guard, QB, blocking TE, fullback, and this offense will be a juggernaut!!

Frosty · 03-11-2008, 02:44 PM

He came out as a junior and, by all accounts, wasn't ready. It looks like the light may finally be turning on and the Chiefs are getting him at the right time.

jspchief · 03-11-2008, 02:49 PM

FWIW, he went on the IR list in Oct. of his rookie year.

Micjones · 03-11-2008, 02:55 PM

Croyle's got two big targets now...
And his new one can get up field...

Good, Bad, or Indifferent. This is exactly the type of player Herm said they would go after. I for one think this is a solid signing.
