Tony Moeaki released by Kansas City Chiefs on injury settlement

[thabear04]

The Kansas City Chiefs are the only remaining undefeated team in the NFL and will almost certainly notch another win to their total this week at home against the Cleveland Browns. Therefore, I can’t really feel sorry for the loudest fans in the NFL. But I do feel sorry for the tight ends on the roster, and their lack of a good pass-catching tight end due to injuries could hurt this team in the long run. Dwayne Bowe is a really good receiver, but Donnie Avery is too unreliable to be the No. 2 option in the passing attack, especially one run by a limited QB in Alex Smith.

Tony Moeaki is one of the most disappointing stories in the NFL but to not fault of his own. The man is talented and certainly showed that talent in a solid 2010 season, but he’s also rarely ever healthy. Moeaki missed the entire 2011 campaign and was placed on the injured reserve before the 2013 season even started with a fractured shoulder. And even though he is set to return at around Week 11, the National Football Post’s Aaron Wilson reports that the Kansas City Chiefs have waived Moeaki off of the injured reserve on an injury settlement. Somebody is going to pick Moeaki up, but the question is, who is willing to take a flier on a TE who is that injury prone? Who really needs a TE? But if Jake Ballard is getting looks, then Moeaki should too.

Hopefully Chiefs rookie TE Travis Kelce doesn’t follow Moeaki’s footsteps as a talented pass-catching TE who just can’t seem to stay healthy. Kelce is on the injured reserve after a nagging knee injury that was much worse than most of us thought. The talented prospect out of Cincinnati was expected to be a key player as a rook, but the injury had other plans for him this season.

Anyone see a possible fit out there for Moeaki? Arizona maybe? They worked out Ballard before deciding that he wasn’t healthy enough to sign. If anyone adds Moeaki, then it will likely be in about a week or so. Late enough for him to be closer to returning but also early enough to give him time to learn the system.

No! There IS no fit for Moeaki. Why would any team want a player that can never play?

[Crush]

Thanks again Pioli.

3rd round tight ends and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Brad Cottam. Tony Moeaki. Travis Kelce...

[gblowfish]

We didn't call him "Brokeaki" for nothing...

[BigMeatballDave]

No! There IS no fit for Moeaki. Why would any team want a player that can never play?

Surprisingly, he only missed one game last last year.

[Rain Man]

He's going to be like Pete Best of the Beatles, getting cut loose right before it all takes off.

[Titty Meat]

He didn't get hurt that much /aturnis

[loochy]

Surprisingly, he only missed one game last last year.

huh, how about that?

oh well, he was invisible ON the field too

except for that one catch against the 49ers

He was good when he played. Let's not kid ourselves.

But, not to sound like Herm... you have to be 'available' to play. And he showed promise as a rookie, but regressed after that.

[cosmo20002]

the Kansas City Chiefs have waived Moeaki off of the injured reserve on an injury settlement.

Anyone know exactly what this entails? If he's on IR, he's getting paid for the season. Why take a settlement (i.e., less money) and agree to be released? To try to sign with someone else? There's a good chance you won't get signed, or you will sign for less than you made before. I don't see why anyone would turn away money they know they have coming.

[BossChief]

It's a shame the kid couldn't get healthy.

We could have really used him right about now.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Bring him in for a look /31otherteamsplanet

[Gonzo]

That's a shame. He really has talent.

[BlackHelicopters]

Who will sign this brokedick? No one.

[mcaj22]

thanks Ferentz for your shit recommendation when we could have drafted a real TE that year

[InChiefsHeaven]

Holy shit, trade him for Gonzales!!!

He obviously wants to try and play again this year.

[Buckweath]

A healthy Moeaki could have been great for Alex Smith.... shame

[Frazod]

A healthy Moeaki could have been great for Alex Smith.... shame

He'll be great for Brodie Croyle playing two-hand touch in an empty lot somewhere.

Unstoppable!

[jettio]

Moeaki could be a great pickup for somebody that needs a pass catching TE.

I wonder if Sanders Commings is going to justify being the one placed on the eligible to return IR ahead of Moeaki. That was starting to look like a bad move if Fasano would not have gotten healthy. Of course, Dorsey did claim McGrath, and McGrath rose to the occasion and made some big plays that helped to win games.

and think of the TEs we passed on to draft those losers...

even Jordan Reed, drafted after Kelce, is starting to look like a player

[SDChiefs]

thatll never happen. kelce cant catch. let alone be a talented pass catching te.

[nascher]

lol ? Injuries can happen.

[GloryDayz]

If somebody can pay him by the nothing but the catch, let's say $10K per catch, it might be worth it. But if he wants a contract, no way...

And it's not that I don't like him, it's simply because he's too often a race car behind the wall.

[Chief Roundup]

No no no no.....

The only player that was actually invisible and was damn good at staying invisible was....

Bigfoot.

He was a FB, no he was a TE, no he was an Hback. Kris Wilson-Bigfoot

[BlackHelicopters]

Azog stood, clad only in damp buckskins, waiting for the beast to slash at her torso until she lay helpless and bleeding on the damp cave floor. Instead, it reached out with a classed hand to snatch at her damp animal hide as it clung to one shoulder. Azog felt the kiss of sharp claws against her skin as the hide slid from her shoulder and exposed on naked, heaving breast.

A reptilian tongue, stiff and hot, dashed out to lick at the tender, naked flesh so suddenly exposed. Azog gasped at the touch, then gradually relaxed as her body warmed to the intoxicating sensation of the beast’s flesh against her own.

Truth.

I wont fault pioli for this one...

He had more than just one great grab and he was also a helluva blocker, dominant at times... he was just betrayed by his own body.

he should've made the team over O'Connell that year too. Nothing special but a special teams contributor with pretty good hands. Solid 3rd TE

Yep on all accounts

[BossChief]

If either of our tight ends get hurt, I wonder if they would give Tony a call...considering he is "healthy".

[mcaj22]

they probably want nothing to do with him, hence the settlement. And why would Tony want to come back to a regime that kicked him to the curb. Writing was on the wall sadly. Pioli pick, hence why Schiano might have a boner for him.

[BossChief]

He was getting a lot of reps with the ones before he broke his shoulder. Not sure it was a foregone conclusion he was a goner, but he very well any have been.

[OrtonsPiercedTaint]

I don't think Tony had a history of infections. This just may work.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Hopefully Tony gets a break....

[Gonzo]

I liked him coming out of college I have to admit. He has the hands and speed to be a dominant TE. Just bad genetics to be so fricken fragile. I don't think the guy ever played more than 8 games without injury, did he?

[BlackHelicopters]

Did he sign with somebody?

We could use a healthy Moeaki on this team.

No. If you want to bag on somebody, at least be accurate with the criticism. It's like calling Percy Snow a bust. He was actually quite good. He just had a career ending injury.
