Turk McBride - DL Jul. 24 - 3:44 pm et

Chiefs signed second-round DL Turk McBride to a three-year contract.

McBride, who had one sack as a senior at Tennesse, is projected to start while Jared Allen serves his recently reduced, two-game suspension. The 274-pounder should go back to being a three technique tackle once Allen returns.

Seriously...we gotta stop.....

Yes, of cource he did, reported for 9 years and $27.65 Million. Those negotiations must have hit a snag for a few hours, before settling in the middle. (according to my source)

[the Talking Can]

why 3 years for everyone?

seems like a bad deal for the organization

Nah. Allows us to make full use of restricted free agency.

[Fire Me Boy!]

With our history with DL, I probably wouldn't want to sign him for more than 3 years either.

Now we just need to get medlock and bowe

They always sign lower round players to three year contracts. Why? Because restricted free-agency doesn't begin until year four and the salary bonuses are so small that they basically have no impact on the cap.

About time get the kicker then D-Bo.

The Saunders era is going well in Detroit. :)

Except he called him "Tank."

I think you meant Truck McBain.

Demarrio Taylor signed a couple of days ago.

True but most of the time they start giving the three year deals to players drafted from the 4-7 rounds and some times the 3rd round I thought Turk would get a four year deal like Pollard last year.

[El Jefe]

Bout time.

[noa]

His real name isn't Turk. This contract is worthless.

Dammit Carl :banghead: :cuss:

[tooge]

there is some clause in the CBA that only allows certain round picks to be signed to certain number of years. I did hear though that he was signed to a 4 year deal on 610 AM, or so I thought.

We've had a "Tank" before. Robert "Tank" Holmes.

Tank Reese too...

274 lbs DT. :shake:

Man. This kid better have the motor he's been advertised as having.

1) He's fresh out of college. He'll put on at least 10 lbs. in an NFL program.

2) We run a Cover 2, which puts an emphasis on speed and quickness over bulk.

3) LaRoi Glover, Rod Coleman, Darnell Dockett, Mike Patterson - all productive DT's playing in the 280-285 range.

[OctoberFart]

Is this guy the next sims or the next savaii?

[Hammock Parties]

I'm actually more excited about this guy playing three-technique DT than RE. I think he'll be a lousy DE...in the limited film I saw of him he didn't look like an edge rusher. He seems like a quicker version of Wilkerson.

i heard it was a 4 year deal too
not sure if it was on 610 or 810

[el borracho]

Probably not the case but wouldn't it be too cool if McBride spoke with a thick Scottish accent?

Tank Tyler is their also being 6'2 and 320 pounds to help him out occupying blockers.

[crazycoffey]

Print 'em

[chagrin]

Well let's see - he was a backup until last year and had a pretty good year as a starter...
undecided, but I am extremely skeptical.

He doesn't have to aim too high to be an improvement in the middle. That's the worst part.

[Direckshun]

I don't know, honestly. Herm's just spoken about his motor, and Herm's got a real good eye for that.

I defer to him, though I disapproved of the pick at the time, and in a way I still would have liked to grab a stud OL with that pick.

Was there one at that pick? It's also quite possible that Herm looked into the future and decided our best bet for a stud OLman is next years draft. There's no way he's thinking SB this year.

[RustShack]

He didn't have many sacks, but he had a whole bunch of tackles. I personaly think Tyler is better, but McBride is still pretty good, hopefully him and Tank will make a good combo inbetween Allen and Hali in the future.
