We're due for one of these guys to work out

[Saccopoo]

Hey, you never know! It worked for...um...ummmmm...well crap!

Warren Moon.

[Brock]

Tamarick vanover worked out.

[Stad]

I'm from Saskatchewan and have watched almost every game of his since he's been in the CFL. He's really quick, runs good routes and has AMAZING hands, he reminds me of Wes Welker cause of how small he is.

[Sure-Oz]

Is he like Cincys Hawkins

I'm convinced that John Dorsey is a GM robot and never actually sleeps.

[TimeForWasp]

I like it. He is from Bismark North Dakota. He will play with heart.

[OldSchool]

I don't know how well his game translates over to the NFL. I haven't seen a single clip yet where he has to start from a set position on the LOS and beat some form of press coverage. Every play I've seen has him get a running start which allows him to avoid any press coverage and run right by DBs who are starting from more traditional sets. He'll get stonewalled in the NFL. Won't make it out of camp.

[Chiefshrink]

Hey that's a start for a change:D

Precisely. That is what I was looking for in all these clips and didn't see it plays like that. Not saying he can't do it but I want to see the evidence of separation.

I think we can be assured McCluster is gone.

May be the kind of reciever that naturally finds the open spot in the defense but otherwise goes unnoticed.

[Chiefshrink]

but otherwise goes unnoticed.

Makes you wonder how big names always go unnoticed with the Chiefs 2ndary.:doh!:

[Gonzo]

Boerichter wasn't awful.

It's funny how we always view him as a decent WR even though he played on one of the most potent offenses in the past 20 years. I mean, Sippio would've been able to get open with all the weapons they had.

[Stad]

It will be hard to find evidence of that cause all receivers in the CFL get a running start. He can also return kickoffs and punts and has been quite successful at that in the past.

I'm just interested to see how his tryout goes since i've been watching him for the last 6 years in the CFL and he's finally getting a chance.

[Bump]

[Hoover]

What? No sign the QB too?

I guess Alex Smith doesn't suck anymore.

Dorsey just signed a bunch of players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster when the previous season ended. That's what futures contracts are. Basically, it's a way to lock down some stiffs as training camp fodder.

That red & black checkerboard endzone is from the University of Guelph where the Hamilton Tiger Cats have been playing their home games while reno's are underway at Ivor Wynne stadium.

No, but bending at the knees to unzip Dorsey because he's signing the Eric Kettanis of the world to futures contracts, or because he's signing a likely washout from the CFL to one, is more than just a little bit over the top.

You may very well be right, but he has had alot of success in Canada.

Sure, and he could be the WR equivalent of Cameron Wake, if the Chiefs are lucky. I'm not criticizing the signing.

Dat end zone is HUGE.

[redshirt32]

Bring him in! I love how Dorsey has this "go get em" attitude that both Carl and Peehole lacked

we need Casey Printers throwing to him.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Seems like he can catch, and has pretty good speed. But he won't be able to rely on that running start or the fuckin' endzone being 3 miles deep...

[Earthling]

This team needs more midgets!

Exactly! I mean how ya going to hit them without hitting them high? A walking penalty machine.

[TEX]

Marc Boerigter part Deaux!

Hope this midget version can stay healthy if the Chiefs sign him...

[Sandy Vagina]

Heck yes... kid looks good. If they could give Chad Hall snaps last year, then bringing this kid in to compete for a depth chart spot is fine. I like the way he adjusts late to the deep passes, and he looks like he can fit in well in this system and be productive.

[Jimmya]

Give him a shot.

He's one huge play away from being cp legend for years to come.

[Reaper16]

Does it say something that Marc Trestman didn't bother to work him out for the Bears?

[kcfanXIII]

I think the reason this is exciting is personnel wise, this team has seen a vast improvement in the talent of their depth players. Really, that was the main improvement this year over last year, quarterback aside. I'm not downplaying the importance of improvement from the QB position, or coaching even. More often than not this year though, the depth guys stepped in and played well when needed. I think Dorsey has shown between one season here and his career in GB, he has a good eye for rough talent. I just hope his success evaluating talent continues.

[Easy 6]

It says Cutler would rather throw to power forwards.

To be fair, a few of those guys could have played in the NFL from the start. If Warren Moon is white, he's a day 1 rookie starter at QB. That's just, you know... reality.

As for Ismail, the CFL made him the highest paid football player in the world. He was an NFL caliber player though... the NFL just got outbid for him.

Wake was a nice revelation.

[The Poz]

Here's a neat little nugget.

In 1983, Dieter Brock was traded from the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for quarterback Tom Clements (in 2000 was the QB coach for the Chiefs and now is the current Packers OC). This trade led to an exciting Grey Cup in 1984, as the Tiger-Cats and Blue Bombers faced each other in the championship game. Brock's Tiger-Cat team lost the game to Clements's Blue Bombers and Brock ended his career with many accomplishments, but without a Grey Cup victory. In 1985 Brock played for the Los Angeles Rams before retiring from football. Technically a rookie during his one season with the Rams, Brock led the team to an NFC Championship Game matchup with the Chicago Bears, and set team rookie records for passing yards (2,658), touchdown passes (16), and passer rating (81.8)

[Simplicity]

Slow and white... Pass.

[chiefzilla1501]

What position does he play? Is it wide oot?

He's a white slot receiver. I'm assuming he's a Wes Welker type

Pfft. Give me a break /CP

And he had Michael Bishop QB so I'm sure he was forced to have to make some great catches

Updated: Riders release Weston Dressler to pursue NFL dream

REGINA - The Grey Cup-champion Saskatchewan Roughriders released all-star slotback Weston Dressler on Thursday.

The move wasn’t a surprise. Dressler, 28, was scheduled to become a free agent Feb. 15 and was exploring his NFL options.

This allows Dressler, who earlier this month worked out for the Kansas City Chiefs, to sign an NFL deal immediately.

“Ever since the first time I touched a football its something I dreamed about, is having an opportunity to play in the NFL on the game’s biggest stage,” said Dressler. ”Money wasn’t a factor for me in this decision. Its a decision based on an opportunity. A situation that I feel that I have a very good chance to make a football team.”

Riders assistant GM Jeremy O’Day said this all could happen very soon.

“Weston and his agent were very up front they were going to go through the process and we were made aware of a possible situation coming up in the next couple of days where Weston was more than likely going to get an opportunity,” O’Day told reporters. “From our standpoint it’s tough to lose such a good player that’s been here for a long time, is a leader in the locker-room.

“But again, you’ve got to feel happy for him that he gets that opportunity. He hasn’t gone through the process of being in the NFL and as any competitor you just want to see how you compare with the best available players. We wish him the best.”

The five-foot-eight, 179-pound native of Bismarck, N.D., has spent the past six seasons in Regina, having registered 442 catches for 6,531 yards and 43 TDs. He has surpassed the 1,000-yard receiving plateau five times in his career, including the last four years.

Dressler had five catches for a game-high 81 yards and a touchdown in Saskatchewan’s 45-23 Grey Cup victory over Hamilton.

Dressler is a two-time CFL all-star and was the league’s top rookie in ’08. He says he hopes Rider fans will continue to cheer him on in his career.

“I would like to say that the team I am talking with I’ve mad a request for a certain jersey number,” he told reporters. “I requested jersey number 13 because I wanted to kind of show my respect to the 13th man of Ridernation. If everything works out the way that i’m hoping, I’ll be able to wear 13 on Sundays and Rider Nation will be out on the field with me.”

“For the team obviously it’s not great news,” O’Day said. “But it’s our job to find good players and hopefully we’ll be able to replace him.”



No #13 on the team.

I wish him nothing but the best, and I hope he defies the odds and works out with whatever team signs him. These guys who fall through the cracks, or develop in different leagues, and make it later are good for the game.

[Buehler445]

Printers was nothing compared to Bobby Sippio.

I don't think anybody really wanted Printers (at least until Hutard, et. al. sucked the nutsack), but his melt down "What do you want me to do? I made chicken salad out of chicken shit!" was absolutely epic and glorious.

Sippio dudes (my dad was the biggest offender) actually wanted.

[Bowser]

Printers was nothing compared to Bobby Sippio.

I was at one of those destitute Chiefs games in '07 or '08, whenever Sippio was here. I was sitting in the north end zone about 15 rows up, the Chiefs were on O marching away. Sippio was split out wide let, Gonzo was in the slot let, Bowe wide right. Gonzo goes in motion to the other side, Huard (Croyle?) play actions and throws a dump for like four yards. Sippio ran a streak route, and nobody went with him. Nobody. He's flailing his hand in the air, and Huard (Croyle?) never even considered looking out there. No safety, no defensive back, nothing. It was then I knew that Sippio would not lead us to the promised land.

My Sippio story, for your consideration.

[Palko 4 ever]

@TSNDaveNaylor
Can confirm Dressler to the KC Chiefs, pending only a physical.

[Palko 4 ever]

@TSNDaveNaylor
Among biggest challenges for Weston Dressler in NFL is turning age 29 in June. Chiefs likely won't wait be patient to development him.

[UK_Chief]

Some of that secondary play in the CFL is on par with Kendick Lewis et al.

That said, he can catch and seems to have a bit of speed. Probably cheap as well...

[MotherfuckerJones]

Just keep throwing resources at the receiver position.

[Jimmya]

If he's cheap, it's even better.

[ChiTown]

To the Double Wide!

[Kylo Ren]

He's a slot WR and returner? Are Dexter's days numbered?

[FRCDFED]

Good interview. Nice highlight film. Plays well in space. We just need to see how he plays in traffic.

Hopefully this works out for us although I am interested in seeing Hemmingway and Jenkins get more snaps in the offense.

[Mr. Laz]

He's a slot WR and returner? Are Dexter's days numbered?
yea, i think so.

They probably think he will get a pretty good offer so were going in a different direction. DmC is a nice little player but he's not worth the #2 WR money that somebody is likely to offer him.

All the new guys will compete for McClusters touches

[King_Chief_Fan]

I'm thinking more along the lines of a Lance Long type.
dexter type?

[MotherfuckerJones]

Just would be lovely to have a WR that can create separation so we will see.

[Easy 6]

He's the white Wes Welker.

[FRCDFED]

On tape WR Michael Campanaro seems to have more burst. Does this mean we are no longer interested in Campanaro? I can't imagine we would have two guys of this stature on the roster. Campanaro was/is a stud for his size.

[Dante84]

We can trot out 90 for camp and let them duke it out.

This signing doesn't eliminate any other options. Right now, Dressler is JAG at best.

I don't think it means anything other than that Reid/Dorsey continue to believe that WR is a key position of need on offense. I imagine we are going to have quite the WR army at training camp this year.

Chiefs sign CFL's Weston Dressler

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Canadian Football League wide receiver Weston Dressler to a contract. The sides agreed to the deal last week.

I'll have more to say about the 28-year-old Dressler on Wednesday. He's a diminutive (5-foot-8, 172 pounds) player who projects as a slot receiver. He also has returned kicks.

In six seasons for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Dressler caught 442 passes for 6,531 yards and 43 touchdowns. Last season, his numbers were 70 catches for 1,011 yards and 9 TDs. Dressler played in college at North Dakota.

As I wrote last week, this move threatens Dexter McCluster's roster spot. McCluster has been the Chiefs' slot receiver and punt returner, but he is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent.
