View Full Version : Chiefs Free Agency 2012

While I'm not saying the year is over and we should move on, just wanting to throw some names out there that will be free agents next year that we could bring in to really help out.

We need depth/starter at safety to pair with Eric Berry. I like Lewis but I think he is a subpackage player like McGraw is this year. Reggie Nelson and Michael Griffin are both UFA's in 2012.

We need some help at LG as Lilja has really fallen off this year. Either Hudson is going to play G or C so we will prob. need atleast one replacement up there. There really isn't anyone I've seen who i'm crazy about to bring in.

Anyway, what other spots you guys think we need to bring in some help? Thought I'd get some football chat going as the bye week is a little slow on Chiefs talk.

Things that need to be addressed by priority:
1) Lack of andrew luck (via draft)
2) NT (preferably via draft)
3) RT (via draft as any great RT will expect LT money)
4) G/C (either draft or FA)
5) Depth: D-line, O-line, Linebackers, Safety, Tight end (draft/free agency as appropriate)

1. Looking at our current roster, when healthy our starters are pretty good save for RT and LG on offense. We don't need to draft or Fa anything other than depth in most spots so give up those picks and go get Luck. Great Idea in my book.
2.I would like to see what Gaither could do at RT before we go get someone else there.
3. We need whatever Hudson doesn't play.
4. I like what Gordon has done at NT this season. I wish they would let Powe play, which i'm sure he will sometime this year. I'm not putting alot of hope on him turning out but it would be a nice surprise if he did.
5. I don't really think we need much on the Dline outside of NT. Bailey is decent depth and we have the money and really should keep Gillberry around. we need some depth at ILB but Siler can help a little. I would like either one of the guys I listed at Safety. I think Nelson would look pretty good with Berry back there. We need to find a TE somewhere.

All the needs we have could be filled thru FA or later in the draft as we need depth, accept for one position which is gonna cost a pretty penny to fill with the guy we need to fill it with.

We need starters at QB, C/G, RT, NT, CB (unless Carr signs an extension).

With respect to RT, if we can find a good one in the draft, keeping Gaither as a swing tackle for depth saves a roster spot, imo.

With respect to Hudson, I would vote we find the best value at G/C available and have Hudson, who can play either, plug the other spot.

With respect to a NT, Gregg has been marginally adequate and will likely decline next year. We need a dominant NT if we can find one as it frees up the ends, linebackers and ultimately safeties. If there was one position I would choose to have a dominant player on defense, it would be the nose.

I shouldn't think Gilberry's contract will be wildly unreasonable, but you can never have enough depth on the d-line. Take that spot you saved from the offensive line and add another end.

No we really shouldn't. We have a trade down GM who's problem child is still under center. Even if he thinks we need a QBotF I'd bet he doesn't think we need one as bad as CP.

I wouldn't hate it to see Pioli trade down in the first and pick up Ta'amu.

I think Gaither could be an all pro RT. There is no reason to keep him as a swing tackle. Gregg was a stopgap brought in. Watch next week when Gordon plays NT. He is really playing well. I don't think we need a dominant NT. We just need someone solid there to keep guys off our ILB. We have a good mix at ILB with a thumper and an athletic guy.

I agree about Hudson, although I would see which position he is better and more comfy at and leave him there.

And I agree lets talk football.

While I agree that Luck is a longshot, I disagree that Pioli is a "Trade Down" GM.

There were several rumors floating around about how the Chiefs wanted to trade UP for Julio Jones.

I don't think Pioli is predictable enough yet to label him as anything.

Damn it we don't need an ILB in the first round. YOu don't need a 1st rounder at everyspot. Belcher is solid and really getting better. Look at the Steelers ILBs.

There hasn't been a talent come along like Luck since Pioli has been a GM. There is no way Cassel remains at Qb for this team next year, so go get someone who can play there for the next 15 years. That would be one thing you don't have to worry about getting. You then build around him, which we basically already have.

Doesn't matter what you think. Only matters what Pioli thinks. If Cassel starts stringing some games together you might as well kiss a 1st rnd QB goodbye...let alone Luck.

Doesn't mean I disagree with you though. Fuck we Need Luck in the worst kinda way.

I don't think Cassel can save himself at this point. Unless he wins the SB, I think he is out of KC.

Luck is the prospect of a lifetime. If Peioi is the ego man Whitlock says he is, imagine how good he would look if he got Luck. With what he has put together here already, with Luck onboard he looks like he built the Pats dynasty all by himself.

And i'm trying to talk myself into thinkin we will pull the trigger. In one sense I think we would be more prone to give up more draft picks to get him as other teams worse than we are, need much more than a qb. On the other hand what better piece to start building around.

I figure the more I talk about it, maybe it will come true. Kinda like wanting something for Christmas when you are little.

Trading down last year was a smart move. Trading up this year is the move of a lifetime. We are close to being where the Jets were the year before they traded up for Sanchez. Actually we are prob. more talented at most skill positions but we have also been drafting pretty high for a while.

Back in '10 I wanted the Chiefs to draft Berry SOOO bad.

In '11 I wanted the Chiefs to take a WR. I also woulda been fine with an OLB. I also wanted a C. In F/A I wanted Breaston & McClain....we know how that turned out.


That's all I got. Those 2 items allow me to retain some sort of hope that when Pioli sees talent, he's willing to grab it.


My fear is that whatever Pioli and Haley see in Cassel behind closed doors is enough to make them believe that Cassel is their guy.

They believe in him for some reason. I know damn well it ain't because of what they see on the field.

This isnt gonna be popular, but if Cassel puts together a nice string of games and has us in contention for the playoffs in the last week or two (with this schedule) he may well earn the rigth to come in as the teams starter next year (but not without competition) He may prove us all wrong, yet.

I want to be clear in saying I dont think that WILL happen, just that it COULD happen.

I really don't think that its realistic to expect studs in FA anymore. The best are going to be signed or franchised by their current team. The only way that teams let go a top guy is if they expect him to drop off in talent, he's a troublemaker or they get stuck by the cap. These days you should look for serviceable players. We have to look at safety. I think Lewis has fallen back and we have nobody beyond that. NT has always been a problem, but perhaps Powe will develop. I have my doubts. I think we've seen Lilja is on the downside of his career. Richardson has to go. We could also do better at the nickle. Arenas has the speed but not the instincts.

Frankly I think Pioli has set his standards low for FA, going only for the bargain basement guys. We have the cap room to get decent players.

There is always going to be good F/a's on the market. I think it's likely they will have to be overpaid as usual tho.

I think not having Berry back there is hurting Lewis. We need solid role players now. We don't need superstars thru free agency as they cost too much.

Playoffs or bust for Cassel, I agree. Even w/out Charles & Moeaki, he still has Bowe, Breaston, McMidget & now Baldwin. Battle/Dex/Jones isn't a terrible RB tandem, especially seeing what Battle did last week, and we have a good enough for a good QB to get it done O-Line...

10-12-2011, 05:56 PM
I think the idea of bringing in LaRon Landry and moving Berry is best way to improve our safety position.

But you could bring in Griffin or Nelson, and either would still improve that situation greatly.

Griffin could start, with Lewis as your subpackage safety and depth, or you bring in Nelson instead and he'd be your sub.

Either way, Berry is the key.

There is no way that I'm paying Belcher before Bowe. No chance.

are you kidding?

fuck no

those are just the guys I know will not be under contact next year, but Belcher will be tendered.

Do you still have a "source" of sorts?

I have a something Id like verified, if you do.

Playoffs or bust for Cassel, I agree. Even w/out Charles & Moeaki, he still has Bowe, Breaston, McMidget & now Baldwin. Battle/Dex/Jones isn't a terrible RB tandem, especially seeing what Battle did last week, and we have a good enough for a good QB to get it done O-Line...

I'll wait to see how Battle performs against a real defense before proclaiming the Battle/Jones dual anything but terrible.

I know that Jones sucks against real defenses already.

I think the idea of bringing in LaRon Landry and moving Berry is best way to improve our safety position.

But you could bring in Griffin or Nelson, and either would still improve that situation greatly.

Griffin could start, with Lewis as your subpackage safety and depth, or you bring in Nelson instead and he'd be your sub.

Either way, Berry is the key.

I like the idea of Landry and moving berry or Griffin the most. It really does depend on Berry. He can play the more Polamalu role like he did last eyar if you bring in Nelson or Griffin, or play the more Reed role if you brought in Landry.

Hell with our cap space bring in Nelson and Landry.

I still wonder why we didnt bing Brandon Merriweather in and move Berry to FS.

BM is probably better than Griffin or Nelson and knows the system.

Must have been some known red flag.

I really think Berry would be better at FS. I hope to hell he comes back to be the old Eric, more than the other two who are hurt. He is so damn versatile.

I whole heartedly agree that Berry is the cog that makes this defense go from mediocre to good and potentially scary.

I do disagree though that targeting Landry would be a better option than targeting Griffin.

Personally I just love seeing Berry playing at the SS role blowing up run plays and protecting whoever we have at FS

With Griffin at FS Berry could be Polamalu 2.0 in my opinion, but if we go after Landry I don't see him being Ed Reed 2.0

Ed Reed is a generational player, and as much as I love Berry, I don't see him replicating that

Too early for this thread. 2012 begins and ends with Luck. 1st and foremost, we have to get back to our losing ways. Without that, Cassel will continue to play thru 2011 and into 2012.

Delusional in thinking that Luck is coming here. Delusional in rooting for the Chiefs to lose to achieve this. Delusional to believe losing is just a switch you can turn on and off. Delusional to think Cassel has played himself into some sort of job security.

Andrew Luck will be a Chief in 2012 and the Chiefs will win the division this year.

Delusional to think it would have been a good idea to move Waters to RT.
Delusional to think it would be a good idea to bring Gaithers in at RT exclusively on pass plays.

We've probably already won too many games to get Luck

How long is Cutler under contract with Da Bears? Man the way he plays, imagine him with a halfway decent OL and the recieving crew the Chiefs have

WTF? I would seriously consider killing myself if Jay Cutler ever put on a Chiefs uniform.

Why is that? Didn't kill yourself over Kennison did you? Denver fans didn't kill themselves over Neil Smiff.

Delusional.

Shields played some LT in his day. Would Waters be a downgrade from Richardson?

Coaches bring in rush specialists for the defense. Why not a pass protection specialist for the offense?

That's outside the box. You're just delusional.

Not outside the box, just dumb. Praying that the Rams gets the #1 overall and that Pioli is willing to trade 3 first rounders for the pick is just hopeful.

No we really shouldn't. We have a trade down GM who's problem child is still under center. Even if he thinks we need a QBotF I'd bet he doesn't think we need one as bad as CP.

I wouldn't hate it to see Pioli trade down in the first and pick up Ta'amu.

Id rather shoot myself in the face.
