Looks like he's hurt

I'm glad to see this clown, leave town. (I'm not a rapper.) Winston's play was average at best last year. He became a liability in the passing game and was not as effective in the run game as he had previously been with the Houston Texans. When you go 2-14 shit has to change. Nobody is safe.

For the most part, Winston is a smart, well-spoken guy. But on October 7th 2012 after a loss to the Ravens, he lost his cool in a post game interview, and threw the entire Chiefs fan base under the bus. I don't give a shit if he was standing up for a teammate. You don't come to my city that you know NOTHING about, and bash our fan base. You keep your goddamn mouth shut, and take the loss like a man. Without us paying your multi-million dollar salary you wouldn't be anything.

Winston was set to earn $4.9 million this season, the second year of a four-year, $22 million deal. Cutting Winston saves the Chiefs $700k in cap space, and $4.9 million in cash.

Andy Reid places a lot of value on the offensive line. One of his very first moves when he was hired by Philadelphia was to make Jon Runyan the highest paid offensive lineman of all time (at the time). He's spent a pair of first round picks on the line, as well as traded a first round pick for Jason Peters and paid him big money.

A number of different things can happen now, but I think Reid will go after the former overall number 1 pick from the Miami Dolphins, left tackle Jake Long. He suffered a back injury and a torn right bicep last year which landed him on injured reserve. Long is a 4 time pro-bowler in his short 5 year career. At 6'7 320lbs he is exactly the type of player Andy Reid likes in his scheme. A big, beefy lineman that is an athletic pass blocker. Eric Winston is primarily a run-blocker, and a whiny bitch.

A lot of people think that Luke Joeckel or Eric Fisher are complete locks for the number 1 pick now, but I still disagree. I believe there is a better chance that Jake Long or another free agent end up here instead. Reid and Dorsey will do everything possible to get out of that number 1 pick. We just have to hope that a team falls in love with someone enough to trade with us.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Winston.

@ArrowheadAddict Seemed clear. Knew how badly they wanted to keep Albert, some great tackles in the draft, cutting Winston saves $4M in cap

If we get Andre Smith, our QB and RT are going to have to get one of those really tacky jerseys where the entire name is spelled out.

1 player plays with his first initial and last name on his jersey.

The other plays with a couple letters and then his last name on his jersey.

Ex: A. Smith and An. Smith.

4 million isn't worth passing a possible QBOTF.

Bad call

HolyHat · 03-06-2013, 10:16 PM

Genos jersey would just say... "The Smith"

Every time Im reminded of Geno, I again realise he probably won't be a Chief. A little part of me dies each time......

This is really obscure, but the Arizona Cardinals had a backup QB who had to start a game once named Dave Brown.

I remember that game because the back of his jersey said "Dave Brown". It looked like 200 pounds of bird shit
