Chiefs Free Agency pickins getting slim - here's the Best of the Rest [Archive]

With Housh, Nate Washington, Derrick Ward and Jovan Haye recently coming off the board, I figured it's safe to assume the first "wave" of signings is mostly done. We all know that Clark Hunt had been quoted as saying the Chiefs would not get involved in the first few days of free agency, not that they ever really have in the past to begin with. However, now that the first wave is mostly out of the way, maybe the Chiefs will be willing to take a look at a couple guys. I was a little disappointed to see that many of this forum's top choices (including most of my own) are already off the market but since these players might represent those on the "second tier" maybe they'd be worth some consideration.

So here's a list of players that are left over. There's still some opportunity to upgrade a couple positions with this group and really most of the players here are approaching their prime and would be able to come in and start for us. Signing a player or two here gives us a lot more flexibility when we enter the draft. For instance, if we do trade Brian Waters and fail to sign an Olineman in free agency, that means we enter the draft with four positions on our oline needing to be upgraded.

I included the "activity" each player has had so far in free agency. The Chiefs don't really show up anywhere here but then again, we wouldn't even know we'd be interested in any of these guys until AFTER the signing. Most of these players don't appear to have a lot of activity as of yet, so maybe the Chiefs can get involved on a signing or two.

My favorites at this point would probably be Olshansky who's had success in the 3-4, and perhaps Khalif Barnes, who I would think would have to be a significant upgrade over Macintosh. Signing Barnes gives us a little more flexibility with that #3 overall pick too. Adding Henderson would be nice too since he, along with Bowe, Bradley and Franklin, would knock Devard Darling and Jeff Webb out of the mix next season.

If I left someone off who should be on this list, please feel free to mention him.

------------------------------------

OLB – Kevin Burnett --- visits Texans on Thursday 3/5 but still supposedly close to signing with San Diego
OLB – Freddie Keiaho --- visiting Bills on Thursday 3/5
OLB – Angelo Crowell --- Visiting Tampa Bay on Monday, 3/9
OT – Khalif Barnes --- As of 3/6, expected to sign multiyear deal with Oakland very soon.
OT – Marvel Smith
OT – John St. Clair
OT – Mark Tauscher
RB – Desean Foster --- visiting Bills on Wednesday, 3/4
FB – Leonard Weaver

Heh, a normal roster, possibly not. But do keep in mind we're talking about the Chiefs here. No upgrades? I think most of these guys are upgrades. I'll break it down -

Barnes, Colon or Willis vs. MacIntosh.....really? Come on, is this even an arguable point? Anybody who watched MacIntosh play can probably count on any of these guys being an upgrade over a 32 year old, injury prone RT who can't stop anybody. A stop sign would be an upgrade over MacIntosh.

Leonhard - wouldn't be surprised if he could beat out Pollard for a spot

Olshansky - who do we even have who's got experience in a 3-4? He's just the sort we need as we transition into this defense. I'd take Olshanksy over Hali and McBride regardless.

Kevin Burnett - young ascending LB vs....oh wait...we don't even have enough linebackers for a 3-4 yet.

Henderson - might not beat out Bradley in pure talent but he'd see the field more. Henderson's also a deep threat which we need.

Benson and Foster - any signing that gets LJ off the team faster is an upgrade in my book

Dane's smokin' the good stuff again:

Olshansky would be an upgrade at the right price, going to a 3-4. I know the Pack have an inside track, but I think he's worth a shot.

Henderson....not better than Bradley or Franklin, potentially? What are you smoking? :shake:

If we can sign one of the OTs, that makes taking a LB/DE who can rush the QB at #3 a whole lot easier, IMHO.

Of course, I could be wrong....but if I'm Scott....that's my thinking at this point.

I'm already happy with the moves we made. We got a QB that was really worth a middle to low 1 for a high 2, and a free veteran lb!

We still have lots of issues, yes. But I'm still happy. I kind of had this feeling we weren't going to do ANYTHING this year, so I am amazed we've done as much as we have.

I thought we'd pick up some second-tier players, work the draft, stay with Thigpen, and go from there. To see us do what we have already is cool. :-)

Allowed an avg of 1 sack per 3 games. Not a pass blocker though.

The draft is LOADED with offensive lineman and I'm confident they can find a starting right tackle as late as the early 4th round.

If "he's exactly what the Chiefs need", then why didn't another team sweep him up? We all know that KC is bottom feeder and the last place an FA wants to go.

Regardless of who we draft, Colon should have McIntosh's roster spot.

The guy is done. He is wasting a roster spot. He would not start on any other team and would be replaced by a MUCH younger player who started at RT for the Super Bowl Champions.

Gonzo makes our receiving corps an anomaly. Its hard to gauge where we're at with them, since we have two good receivers, but only one good WR.

Even if we don't have a true #2 WR like most teams have, we still have good receivers. What bothers me is our total lack of depth. There's really NOTHING past our second guy.

I really don't care that Henderson hasn't been signed yet. Tons of free agents are signed late and contribute in some meaningful way.

And he had 32 catches last year. As much as the Saints spread the ball around, and as many deep balls as he caught, that's not a bad thing.

Ask any Saints fan, he's a good receiver. At the very least he would be a very, very good #3.

http://www.saintsreport.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103613

Yeah, I definetly don't want to lose him but, I sure as hell don't want to get into a bidding war either.

I don't want him to go either, but If he leaves, I'd rather that he goes to a team that we won't play for a few years.

He'll also be going to a team with some controversy at QB. That may factor into his decision.

The Saints don't seem to have been very active in attempting to re-sign him. Anyone else find that somewhat strange?

I think they'll let him test the market. I don't expect him to find anything lucrative out there. I've been one of the big Devery apologists in the past, his deep threat overrides a couple dropped balls to me. I don't think anyone out there looks at him as a big pickup, though. But if someone surprises me and offers him more than the FO can afford, se la vis.

devery might just sign with Tampa otu of spite, and with teh way our secondary is he would give us fits

Henderson is wide-bodied and not exactly suited for the offense Haley wants to run.

What about this guy? He'd be an upgrade to what we have on the right.

Jahri Evans | G Complete player profile
Full Name: Jahri A. Evans
Born: August 22, 1983
Philadelphia, PA
Height: 6-4
Weight: 318 lbs. Age: 25
Pos: G
Experience: 3 years
College: Bloomsburg
Insider Analysis
Grade 75
Expert's Take Evans has been a starter, since his rookie year, when he was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. He is a good combination of mauler and athletic lineman, who is still learning the finer points of the techniques for blocking on the offensive line in the NFL. He still needs some work with his hand use and placement. He will get a wide grasp that can lead to holding. He is quick with his first step, can gain initial position on blocks and has enough agility to react or adjust to movement. He is quick coming out for the pull. He can adjust and react on the corner to zero in on blocks in the open field. He can roll his hips to turn and seal opponents on the edge and will set with a good base to wall off. He understands angles, how to protect the pocket in pass pro and flashes the ability to react or adjust to counter moves. He has good lower-body strength, can sink his hips to anchor against a bull rush or roll his hips and unload to deliver a good blow on drive blocks. He is an adequate knee-bender and does a good job of keeping his pad level down to leverage his blocks. He is learning to finish blocks off and will work the block until the whistle to sustain. He will overextend when in space and lose rushers to good counters or change-of-direction pass rush moves.

In other news, there's no one in free agency that can upgrade the Chiefs roster for the 2009 season.

Dane says the darndest things.

Ray Willis is easily an upgrade over the steaming pile of cowflop we have at Right Tackle.
He'd be a Day 1 starter there.

Olshansky, even when considering a down year, is still light years better than Turk McBride.
And even moreso because he's played in the system we're switching to.

Those two players would be excellent acquisitions at this point.

(Apparently Devery Henderson re-signed with New Orleans. And he's anything but a possession receiver.)

i am starting to wonder how they are going to upgrade their defense and their offensive line by sitting on their asses during free agency, and trading away their second-round pick.

Draft picks?

Raji at #3, or a team like SF that they need a QB at #3 and trade down to #10 and hope you can get Raji still (or maybe Curry if some how he is still there), but lets say Raji.

Getting SF 2nd, draft the best OLB you can.

Maybe they feel our DE's can be addressed from on the team. Does anyone know how Tank could do at DE. He is 6'2" and large....

Henderson is better than Franklin right now. However, Franklin has considerable upside and getting hurt was a real setback for his development. I'd rather not part with Franklin.

Igor Olshansky would be a definite upgrade, however. Primarily because we have ZERO 3-4 defensive ends right now, so anybody would be an upgrade.

This.

While Olshansky is better than anyone on the Chiefs roster, he struggled without Merriman. I guess he could be considered an "upgrade" but it's certainly not much of an upgrade. IMO, he's nothing more than a "guy".

As for Henderson, there sure seems to be a lot of love for a guy that caught 37 passes last year in N.O., meanwhile, Bradley caught 30 in 8 games (including injury).

But I guess it's difficult to argue with the resident geniouses.

Come on.

It's not like they missed on Justin Tuck or Umenyiora or Julius Peppers.

He's been a decent player but certainly not a superstar. His contract demands are probably half of that of Canty (who just got $7 million a year).

I seriously doubt the guy would have been a difference maker the past 5 years.

Henderson, a possession receiver? You can not be serious? Henderson is the antithesis of a possession receiver. I don't really want to see him sign with the Chiefs, but Dane, your possession receiver analysis could not be any more incorrect. Go back and take a look at what he has done in the league. He will give you either 4 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown or go without a catch. Please explain how a guy with a career average of 21.6 yards per reception is a possession receiver.

You are wrong on this one sir. Nice try on keeping up with your usual negativity though.

Henderson is definitely off the list now, along with Coles, Matt Birk and even Ray Lewis. We've got Olshansky and several RT candidates remaining and from what I see, very little else.

I'm disappointed. I didn't expect us to shell out 8 mil a year and overpay for top shelf talent but I was hoping some of these second and third tier guys would be in our range. You can't sit there and expect to build through the draft and nothing else. 25 guys on your roster aren't going to all magically hit their prime at the same time, giving you this comfy 4-5 year window in which to make a run at the Super Bowl.

Last year, with the exception of Darling and Williams, we ignored free agency and we weren't even able to field a professional team. We were stuck resorting to signing guys off the street (Thomas, Babin, Celestin, Boiman, etc...) just to fill out our roster. Sensibly bringing in free agents to push the younger players, educate, provide depth on the roster and increase the competition level for starting spots is a benefit to our team. And in our case, there'd be a significant talent upgrade as well.

I can see why we avoid high priced players but guess I'm not getting why we avoid this portion of the offseason altogether - especially when we have the financial means to play a significant role.

I know the "Patriots way" isn't about signing the big names, but with all the factors (current o-line, no 2nd rd pick now, switching to 3-4) I figured we would see one or two signings by now.

I was really bummed about missing out on Brown, to the freakin' Rams! Grrrr....

Clark and Pioli have been pretty consistant about not being active during the first wave. Now that the 2nd wave has begun the activity has picked up with Haggans, Davis, Engram, and who know who else.

I expect we'll see some signings pretty quick.

Honestly with the exception of Brown (whose age was a plus for us), Nugent (a dependable kicker), and Canty, I can't see anyone in the first wave of signings that was worth 1/10th of what they got paid.

I'd still draft 2-3 O-Linemen in this draft.

This is pretty much what I've been saying all along. We actually don't have enough quality starters on either line. Even if Waters stays, we need to upgrade three positions on the Oline and I don't think we even have enough linebackers to run a 3-4 just yet! Bringing in a player or two with experience in the 3-4 (Olshansky) isn't a bad idea either.

We're so understaffed at LB and DE that last year, we had to bring guys in off the street (Boiman, Babin, etc..) just to be able to have 11 guys on the field defensively for us. There's no way we'll be able to fill all the holes on this team with just our 6 remaining draft picks.

The four players that I've seen us linked to strike me as either special teamers or guys that might not even make the final 53-man roster. I was thinking that with all that cap space, we'd be able to find some players to come in and start for us. I don't want to see us go tie up 8 million a year for 4-5 years on a player however I don't think any of those left on my short-list above would really even come close to falling into that catagory.

A small sidenote...Burnett, Barnes and Olshansky all seem to be on the move today. Wish we could get involved before all the players that might contribute are gone - very few of those left as it is. I think I'd be up for taking anybody listed above

Page, on the other hand, was supposed to be perfectly-suited to the Cover 2. He is very rarely where he's supposed to be, which is a cardinal sin in the Cover 2. He isn't smart, he has poor instincts on his reads, and he lacks zone discipline.

Lindy's magazine had him the #3 SS in that draft. Scott Wright had him rated as a late 2nd/early 3rd.

My point is that Pollard hasn't yet played in a defensive scheme that he's actually suited for.

Great signing. Drafted in 2003 and for 5 years really hasn't played in the NFL.
I guess someone has to be on the scout team...
:D

Lindy's magazine had him the #3 SS in that draft. Scott Wright had him rated as a late 2nd/early 3rd.

My point is that Pollard hasn't yet played in a defensive scheme that he's actually suited for.

Good luck with that guy.

He makes Terri Schiavo look like a goddamn MENSA member.

I'd be on board with upgrading our FB position. We haven't had a really good one since Richardson and with our line, woeful as it is, we could use the extra blocking help. Plus, I saw LJ fail consistantly last year in short yardage/goalline situations. We could use a FB to help us out in those situations too.

Please, do us all a favor and show us these scouting reports that say Pollard was a 4th or 5th round pick.

Scott Wright had him rated at 90, (http://www.draftcountdown.com/archive/2006/2006-Top-Overall.php) and had the Patriots taking him at 86 in the mock. http://www.draftcountdown.com/archive/2006/2006-Mock.php

Once again, you prove that you don't have the faintest ****ing clue what your talking about.

Do you always take the internet so seriously? Weren't you the guy defending your internet ego for a whole day last week? Seriously it's laughable how seriously you take the internet. What are you Bernard Pollards cousin or something?

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/story/9408807

"Worst pick: A lot of scouts had a lower grade on second-round pick Bernard Pollard. He might have been a bit of a reach, although they do need safety help."

So are you going to apologize or continue your incohernet ramblings?

Apologize for what? I'm not the dumbass making shit up as he goes along.

Where does that link say ANYTHING about Pollard being a 4th or 5th round pick?

Answer: It doesn't, and you've been caught talking out of your ass yet again.

Do us all a favor and run along. The adults are trying to talk football here, and don't need you pulling on their pants leg because you just shit your drawers.

INTERNET RAGE RAWR!1! I think you were the moron who was slurping the draftubators. Anyway most scouts agreed drafting Pollard in round 2 was a reach he certainly hasn't played like a 2nd round pick either.

Who said he WASN'T a reach? He was. A projected 3rd round pick taken in the late 2nd.

YOU are the retard who said:

If you read the scouting reports too you'd see Pollard was suppose to be a 4-5th round draft pick.

Apparently YOU didn't read those scouting reports, and you were called on it.

But please, keep talking out of your ass. It's probably very convenient for you considering your head shares the same real estate.

Taking a 4th or 5th rounder in the 2nd round isn't a "bit" of a reach. It's a HUGE reach.

Obviously they had him rated right around the 3rd round, where EVERYBODY ELSE DID.

And he's played like a late round pick. He's a special teams player not a starting safety.

Not stomping my feet at all. Just calling a spade a spade. Facts are somewhat important when trying to make an argument.

There's a HUGE difference between a 3rd round pick and a 5th round pick.

You really need to give it up because seriously, you don't have a fucking clue.

Frankie (of all people) said that "other boards" had him at 4th. "Other boards"? Like WPI, not NFL Draft boards.

Furthermore, thanks for the link. There were so many people advocating Croyle in the 2nd that it makes my head spin. And a few other loser players.

Though, Ko Simpson is worth millions.

The point being made is this: Do a little research while engaging in discussion so as to be taken seriously. However, it appears it is too late for you, as you have already, in a short period of time, assclowned yourself.

d'oh....Heath Evans resigned with the Saints. Jermaine Phillips is gone too.

I feel like I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel but I added a few more guys on to my ever-dwindling list of decent free agents left. Some of these guys are borderline "iffy" but remember how depleted our roster actually is so if they're willing to come over cheap.... :)

DE – Igor Olshansky --- Visiting Packers on Friday 3/6, who lost out on Canty
OLB – Kevin Burnett --- visits Texans on Thursday 3/5 but still supposedly close to signing with San Diego
OLB – Freddie Keiaho --- visiting Bills on Thursday 3/5
OLB – Angelo Crowell --- Visiting Tampa Bay on Monday, 3/9
OT – Khalif Barnes --- Remained in Oakland on Thursday, 3/5. Raiders hoping to sign him today
OT – Marvel Smith
OT – Ray Willis
OT – John St. Clair
OT – Mark Tauscher
RB – Desean Foster --- visiting Bills on Wednesday, 3/4
FB – Leonard Weaver

Notice the 2nd post in that thread is a BRONCO fan saying it's a good pick.

The 4th post is a scouting report that basically says everything you've posted in this thread is BS.

There's posts in there bitching that we didn't draft Darnell Bing instead (who? exactly). There's actually a post in there suggesting that we should have used that pick in a trade to get Javon Walker. ROFL

There's ONE scouting report in that ENTIRE thread that agrees with you and it's one from SI.com.

Do a little more research next time.
