Call Your Shot: Who's the first player we sign?

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm seeing a lot of guys clear waivers today to make it to practice squads, but no reports of guys getting signed by other teams.

So, out of boredom, who do you predict will be the first signing?

Could be a guy that was waived, or a street FA. Your call.

I'm going with Kynan Forney, OG, San Diego.

[LaChapelle]

Somebody 3/4ths of the board has never heard of.

[carlos3652]

OT - Boone 49ers...

[OnTheWarpath15]

Somebody 3/4ths of the board has never heard of.

Like Kynan Forney?

:D

[the Talking Can]

jamon meredith

or i go postal

[LaChapelle]

Who?

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Tony Pashos

[BigChiefFan]

Leonard Pope is my first pick, but I hope we also add Forney and Pashos to the roster, at a minimum.

[OnTheWarpath15]

OT - Boone 49ers...

Or not.

Signed to Niners PS.

[T-post Tom]

Tony Pashos

Or not.

Signed to Niners PS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, can't any team sign any other team's PS players if they get put on the 53 man roster?

[carlos3652]

Correct me if I'm wrong, can't any team sign any other team's PS players if they get put on the 53 man roster?

Yes... but the fact that he wasnt claimed, makes him hard t be the #1 guy we sign...

[JOhn]

the kicker that shall go unnamed :D

Or maybe Grbac?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Correct me if I'm wrong, can't any team sign any other team's PS players if they get put on the 53 man roster?

Yeah, but teams have had 24 hours to sign a guy WITHOUT being forced to put him on the active roster.

I'm in shock that we didn't put in a claim yesterday.

[doomy3]

I like your idea of Kynan Forney as well

[milkman]

Correct me if I'm wrong, can't any team sign any other team's PS players if they get put on the 53 man roster?

Yes they can, as long as that player stays on the new team's active roster for three games.

Any player that the Chiefs, or other teams, might have interest in would have been claimed on waivers before they cleared them.

[BigMeatballDave]

Correct me if I'm wrong, can't any team sign any other team's PS players if they get put on the 53 man roster?Yes, I believe so...

[ChiefaRoo]

Jordan Black































TO THE FLOTATION DEVICE TO BE USED IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY!

[milkman]

I like your idea of Kynan Forney as well

I've thought about that.
For some reason, this team likes Mike Goff, who has been absolute dogshit.

Now the question is, would this team actually go out and sign the guy that alledgedly made Goff expendable in San Diego?

[doomy3]

Forney is good. He was pushing to be the starter this year, but Vasquez, the rookie, made him expendable.

He would be a huge upgrade over Goff, IMO.

[Mecca]

Watch there not be any so everyone can lose their minds.

[OnTheWarpath15]

Watch there not be any so everyone can lose their minds.

You know, it's really starting to look that way.

[Mecca]

You know, it's really starting to look that way.

All I gotta say is if this is the roster they go into the season with, Todd Haley can be the Jesus of head coaches, they're a 3 win team.

[the Talking Can]

Watch there not be any so everyone can lose their minds.

as if they already haven't?

[milkman]

All I gotta say is if this is the roster they go into the season with, Todd Haley can be the Jesus of head coaches, they're a 3 win team.

And the 3 wins qould be the proof that he's the Jesus of head coaches, cause that would be a ****ing miracle.

I think at this point he's really trying to prove he can win with 22 people off the street.....

We may have the dayton moore of football oh yeah

its sad to see us stuck with these guys


i try not to think about it too much

[Coogs]

We may have the dayton moore of football oh yeah

Not bloody likely! Moore is bringing back Hillman to coach for a few more seasons. Pioli/Haley have already proven they are going to cut bait with slackers.

i think we have the inspector Clouseau, when i think about i will laugh

lol, i hope they dont keep sitting on their hands though, we need more talent

[JuicesFlowing]

Probably, but that would mean Herm would have gone 0-16.

A.Q. Shipley

[OnTheWarpath15]

Colts signed 6 players to the PS, Steve Justice wasn't one of them.

A.Q. Shipley

Shipley has already cleared waivers and signed with the Steelers PS.

[Micjones]

Alex Smith

['Hamas' Jenkins]

At some point, you have to just start throwing shit at the wall and hope it sticks. Is there really a big enough difference between numbers 30-53 on this roster to justify not taking a look at about anyone out there in a position of need that you have?

[Just Passin' By]

O'Callaghan of the Patriots was claimed.

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2009/09/ocallaghan_to_k.html

No surprise, really. I'd mentioned this possibility elsewhere.

[Mr. Krab]

Some worthless sack of crap with just cut, because he's "our guy".

My guess: NT Derek Lokey


Although i imagine we will never know who was signed first because they won't tell us anything until they announce all of them.

<hr>

Ryan's father, Tom, was a catcher in the San Francisco Giants minor league system.
After his senior season at Cal, Ryan was awarded the Morris Trophy, which is given to the most outstanding offensive and defensive linemen in the Pacific-10 Conference. What makes the award unique is the selection procedure, which has the starting defensive linemen in the Conference voting for the offensive winner and vice versa.

[OnTheWarpath15]

One down, about 8 to go.

[Just Passin' By]

Nice. ALright.

Any feedback on him from watching the Pats preseason?

He's a big man, who generally does well run blocking. He's not overly nimble, which causes struggles in space, and he's had concussion problems.

For all that, it's actually possible that he'll become the Chiefs starting right tackle. He has started in Kaczur's absence in the past, and Pioli knows that.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

O'Callaghan of the Patriots was claimed.

http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2009/09/ocallaghan_to_k.html

No surprise, really. I'd mentioned this possibility elsewhere.

That's an excellent move. Even if we are just limiting ourselves to guys from NE and Miami, he's one that can help in an area we need.

[Dottefan]

Sarah Palin...heard she was available, not very bright, and she has been known to not be a team player..plus she quit her last Job.....but she is good to look at in tight pants.

[the Talking Can]

i'm going to call him Jamon O'Callaghan

In what little action I've seen of him, I'd be very surprised if the staff doesn't think he's an upgrade over Richardson.

Exactly!

Especially with these rookie Offensive Linemen available.
You only went to the well once during the draft.
Here's your chance to take a flyer on 1-3 of those players at a fraction of the original price.

[milkman]

Former Patriots offensive lineman.........

What a shocker.

A former Pat.

Whoda thunk it?

[BryanBusby]

Former Patriots offensive lineman Ryan O'Callaghan has been awarded to the Kansas City Chiefs on waivers.

The Browns also put in a claim on O'Callaghan, but the Chiefs had priority based on having the worse record in 2008.

Former Patriots Vice President of Player Personnel Scott Pioli is in his first year as Chiefs general manager, so he has a background with O'Callaghan, a 2006 fifth-round draft choice in New England.

If you guessed Ryan O'Callaghan, you win!

E; fuck, beaten like the right side of the O-Line

[kstater]

I guess Dane and Milkman finally got Pioli to pick up the phone.

[milkman]

That's an excellent move. Even if we are just limiting ourselves to guys from NE and Miami, he's one that can help in an area we need.

I've seen Ryan O'Callaghan, and he looks like the guy that they used to clone Colin Brown.

[JD10367]

Ryan O'C wasn't that bad. He was a RT backup off the bench and was better than some of the other crap the Pats put on the field (e.g. Billy "Turnstile" Yates). A decent pickup for you guys, IMO.

He's decent, but made of glass.

[Titty Meat]

So now we the Chiefs have a shitty Right guard and center. Did they sign Scott Wells yet?

[tk13]

We're going to trade a 2011 first rounder for Tedy Bruschi.

[Micjones]

It'd be nice if they signed Forney as well. That'd give us some depth along the line.
He or Ndukwe starts at RG (the other fills a backup role). Alleman backs up or replaces Niswanger... And you have Richardson and O'Callaghan at Tackle.

[OnTheWarpath15]

We're going to trade a 2011 first rounder for Tedy Bruschi.

LMAO

[Coogs]

Any chance the two guys from Miami can slidee over one spot and work out better?

[Micjones]

Alex Smith is visiting the Giants.
He or Pope would help bolster the offense a bit.

[Just Passin' By]

Alex Smith is visiting the Giants.
He or Pope would help bolster the offense a bit.

Pope's been a big disappointment for the Cardinals, but he's probably still an upgrade over what the Chiefs are carrying. The problem may be in what he thinks he's worth, both financially and in terms of playing time/role.

[milkman]

Were we at 53 and need to drop someone?

Or were we under, anticipating some moves?

No, we were at 53 players.

My money says Turk gets a visit from the Turk.

[kstater]

No, we were at 53 players.

I'm guessing Turk or Gutierrez(sp). Unless they're still shopping Thigpen. One of the QB's has to go at some point.

[OnTheWarpath15]

I'm guessing Turk or Gutierrez(sp). Unless they're still shopping Thigpen. One of the QB's has to go at some point.

If they don't do more to help the OL, they'll need every one of them, plus some.

A big blocking tightend would help us alot i think.

How about another target for Cassel Mr. Pioli and one of the returnmen available?

I'd be interested to see if they put in a claim for Figurs and got sniped by Detroit.

Tiquan Underwood might have been worth a look. He got cut by Jax, but I'm not sure if they PS'ed him or not.
