Clayton reportson espn radio..DV wants a corner ASAP

Big Chief Homer · 03-26-2005, 06:52 PM

I was in the truck listening to espn's the huddle. Salisbury and Clayton were taking emails. A guy emailed and asked what the Chiefs should do about a corner.

Clayton said he spoke to DV at the owners meetings and he was told DV wants a Deal done by the end of the weekend. (being its Easter i highly doubt it.) He stated DV wants Surtain because hes younger and wants a player who will be able to practice as soon as OTA's start. Vermiel is pushing CP to get the deal done. He wants the corner situation handled by the draft.

All he said about law was DV wants either Corner.If a deal for Surtain doesnt materialize. He wants Law under contract.DV told him he wants one of them. According to Clayton we will have either Surtain or Law in Red and Gold before the Draft.

Take it as it is... more speculation,but clayton is usually pretty reliable.

also,I read in another post we offered a contract to jay williams. Is that true? or more made up B.S.

thanks,BCH

Nope, dicking around is part of his tough negotiator persona. He thinks they will come to him. Usually they go elsewhere.

there was an article in a paper a day or two ago saying William's agent said the Chiefs & Rams had both made him an offer. This one was in a paper today:

On to the Rams: Defensive end Jay Williams, an unrestricted free agent, will visit the Rams on Tuesday, agent Ron Del Duca said.

Williams has visited the Chiefs and has been in contact with them, but has not yet received an offer.

who knows

they had a chance to "get a corner ASAP" for a month now.

if they hadn't jacked around earlier when they had like 10 cornerback options they wouldn't need to be "rushed"

Yep.

If they were smart, they wouldn't stop at Surtain. I say we need another linebacker to make the offseason complete.

I'm of the mind Vermeil wants these things done...

1) Sign Surtain if only we can get him and not give up our second round pick...otherwise we sign Law. Simple as that.

2) With the two top corners gone, and a deep CB class, Vermeil will pick Shawne Merriman with our 1st round pick..otherwise trade down. This guy can be a starter right away and learn from Bell, and from what I heard he's a heavy hitter with great leadership qualities. A Lavar Arrington clone...who can make the same impact his first year as Vilma did in New York. We only hope he makes it past the Cowboys...but I think the Cowboys want Pac-man first. Merriman, Bell, Mitchell...nice.

3) Our second round pick will be a WR...simply because we have filled our LB spots with a FA in Bell and a 1st round pick in DE/LB Merriman.
Chris Henry should be there...and a steal where we pick. We'll pick up a corner in the third round.

CanadaKC · 03-26-2005, 07:57 PM

BTW...Merriman has a 41 inch vertical leap...better than almost every player in any position. I sense a lot of knocked-down throws...

Has Fujita even been resigned? I thought he was a RFA without a contract...

why do you assume that every free agent wants to play here, but the Chiefs just didn't make it happen?

i'm just glad the urgency still exists.

They tendered him the one year deal, but that doesn't mean someone can't swoop in and try and steal him.

I have come to the conclusion that our LB corps would look good with Scott Fujita, Kendrell Bell, and Jamie Sharper. Which means it won't even come close to happening.

He is a RFA without a contract, however the Chiefs have offered him the vet. minimum. Haven't heard anything since if he accepted it or whatnot.

**Dunit35** · 03-26-2005, 08:05 PM

I think Fujita has signed the tender offer from KC. Im pretty sure but not 100% positive

At this point I want any LB either Capers or Cowher drafted/coached...
