I could see the Lions wanting to move up if they like Joeckel or Fisher more than the other. Cardinals, Bills, etc.

Winston was a huge disappointment and a bigger douchebag to the fanbase.

Screw him in his pimpled ass. I don't care that he's gone at all. After 2-14, there are very few players I care if they are here or not.

Ok after taking a deep breath. I like this move. Winston wasnt all that great and was clearly overpaid. He didnt look like the top RT in pass protection. He was the one that got Cassel hurt

This is the most fun I've ever had in an offseason as a Chiefs fans. Already tons of highs and lows.

I have a feeling our 1st round pick will be traded and we take a guy that we haven't been talking all that much about.

Agreed. But i think we will trade down multiple times. That is..unless we do the right thing and just ****ing draft Geno.

Mother****erJones · 03-06-2013, 08:39 PM

Great saving us 3.5 mil. We can do better. And Albert needs to calm down some

Albert at LT and Draftee at RT for a year and then let albert go next year and move draftee to LT.

I don't think anything seals it until FA has run it's course. Dorsey said yesterday there are 6 to 8 players to consider. I don't think this move narrows it to two.

ChiefMojo · 03-06-2013, 08:40 PM

The injury concerns make sense if we are cutting him. Sure we save a lot on cap space with the release of Winston but again this seems like our front office is not crazy about dealing with a OT that may be injured or injury prone. Remember Coach Reid has been dealing with that issue for the last 2-3 years in Philly.

Also remember Reid likes OT's that are quality in pass protection first and foremost. Winston is a good run blocker but suspect in the pass protection.

O.city · 03-06-2013, 08:40 PM

Brought it up somewhere else, but if we clear the space for it and it could be made work, I'd trade the first to the Jets for Revis and their first rounder this year. They wouldn't go for it, but I'd try.

Mother****erJones · 03-06-2013, 08:40 PM

We have no idea what theyre plan is! Hope they give EVERYONE THE MIDDLE FINGER AND TAKE GENO NUMBER 1

Joeckel/Fisher are good enough for someone to trade up for but not good enough for us to draft when we need an OT?

**Iowanian** · 03-06-2013, 08:41 PM

I'm waiting for Matt Cassel to log in and blast anyone cheering Winston's releath because it'th thick and dithguthting!

I'm sure he'd calm down if reeruns didn't immediately assume he's going to play RT or OG.

ChiefsCountry · 03-06-2013, 08:41 PM

Winston must have an injury issue that we don't know about, only reason to cut him. If they draft 1st overall for a right tackle they are ****ing idiots especially for the two turds they might want to draft. Jeff Allen could swing back to right tackle, he was a stud tackle at Illinois and it would be better than drafting on them and sign a free agent guard.
