Charles/Davis/Sproles would be a great set at a spot thats highly utilized in Reids offense.

I bet McCluster will be a Saint. They'll get rid of Moore and Sproyles and he'll fill the void. He never quite lived up to the hype. I was really hoping for the next Eric Metcalf. He was a decent player but not worth over paying. I'd say this definitely increases our chances of drafting a WR.

Sproles has like 9x as many recieving TDs than rushing TDs. He only has 3 fumbles in 8 years.

Line both him and Charles up in the backfield, have one or both split out and then get the ball to whoever the defense doesn't key on. Rinse. Repeat. Profit.

Source: Chiefs’ Dexter McCluster to sign elsewhere in free agency
March 10
BY TEREZ A. PAYLOR
The Kansas City Star

It appears Chiefs receiver Dexter McCluster’s run in Kansas City will soon end.





A person with knowledge of the situation told The Star on Monday that McCluster, who is a free agent, will not return to the Chiefs. He has four or five interested teams and likely will sign elsewhere Tuesday night, when NFL free agency officially begins.

A spokesman for the Chiefs had no comment.

McCluster’s loss would leave a void at punt return and in the slot. He’s coming off the best year of his career, as he made the Pro Bowl due to his contributions on special teams. He returned 58 punts for 686 yards and two touchdowns in 2013, and also had the most productive season of his career as a receiver, catching 53 passes for 511 yards and two touchdowns, all career highs.

The Chiefs currently have a handful of players with punt-return experience under contract for 2014, including running back Joe McKnight, who was signed in January, and former CFL star receiver Weston Dressler, who was signed in February.

He is (unlike Dexter) a potential matchup disaster for defenses. I'd love to have him here.

No...

Had a big-time 4th quarter play or catch in most of our games in the second half of the season. And he is a very good punt returner, and that's not just because of Dave Toub.

He is a much better player than he gets credit for by his critics. Is he a top-shelf slot receiver? Of course not. But he turned into a solid player last year in Reid's system.

He's not worth as much as he'll get paid, but we'll miss him.

Letting DMC walk is a very wise move. Whatever BS contract he's about to get was never worth it. I'm going to laugh if he gets over $5 Mil a year.

When we draft a real wide receiver this year, it'll make sense.

My favorite DMC moment. Running out of bounds on 3rd down with nobody around him Vs the Colts.

Also his TD against the Browns was a JOKE. It was a busted coverage. Any fucking WR in the CFL could have scored on that play.

I'd say Bowe does.

McGrath didn't drop a pass all year.

When 48 of your 60 catches are within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage or are bubble screens, yeah it's pretty easy to catch the ball.

I'll put it this way. Would I rather take my chance on Bowe catching a slant over the middle, or McCluster? I'll take Bowe's hands.

Sounds like Sammy Watkins and he's the #1 WR prospect. He's a screen machine and no one is complaining. He caught a ton of screens at Clemson.

Every game he's in he sucks. How about on fourth and 1 he gets half a yard. He isn't good at all.

Why give him the ball on 4th and 1? Which coach did that? That's just stupid. ROFL

Return men are a dying breed in the NFL. Since they moved the kickoff back they don't have as much value. That's part of the reason Hester won't be returning to the Bears.

If McCluster really has 4-5 teams looking at him and his agent isn't just blowing smoke, it's because teams plan on using him for far more than just a returner. If he signs somewhere on the first day of free agency, it's because teams see him as a serious up and comer and have plans for him in their offense.

He definitely underachieved in KC but, he wasn't nearly as bad as people make out. He was a pretty good role player for us. He never became what we hoped he would but he wasn't a bad player by any means.

Buffalo - Dex does nothing
Denver - http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000283701/McCluster-18-yard-catch - 18 yard catch on a critical 4th quarter drive with 3:30 to go. Terrific back shoulder catch
San Diego - 11 yard gainer putting the ball on the 5 yard line with 1:30 minutes to go (setting up Bowe TD)
Denver (game 2) - 28 yard pass and diving catch (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/0ap2000000291114/McCluster-s-spectacular-catch) with about 2 minutes left on a critical drive
In the final drive of the game against San Diego game 2, he had a 14 yard gainer to set up a first down with 3:30 minutes to go


So out of those 5 games, in 4 of those games he had a first down in the most important drive of the game. All of them were over 10 yards. 2 of them were circus catches.

And those examples I showed you above showed he was a reliable 4th quarter option. No, he's no Dwayne Bowe. He's not Wes Welker.

Well, Dexter brings more special teams versatility, a little more elusiveness (even if not elite), and is a hell of a lot younger.

We need a guy who can consistently move the chains on 3rd and 5. Avant can do that. We haven't had that since TG left. I hope we get him.

No time to panic. Free agency makes everyone crazy. We also don't have. Bunch of cap room. Teams don't win by spending big. I'd just like to see us get a good FS, WR that can create separation and a DE that can rush the passer.

That is not literally true. He is definitely not nearly as elusive as we thought he'd be. I don't think it's true to say he's not at all elusive. He had a few plays here and there. Not enough to call him a playmaker. His value was that he surprisingly became a solid receiver before and during the catch.

Jason Avant? The Chiefs clearly think he is the answer at WR.

Whats that suppose to mean?

This team didn't beat a single team with a winning record minus the Eagles with a backup QB.


They play the best teams in the league next year but that's ok theyll beat them with a DC who should be fired and a 30 year WR who caught 38 balls last year.

So, you agree. The rumor of the Chiefs "interest" can only lead to an offensive attack, focused around Avant.

If last year taught us anything, it's that free agency for Dorsey is about plugging holes with solid, but not amazing veterans.

I don't think Avant would prevent us from taking a WR in the first round.

Dex could fill a lot of roles, was dependable, and played hard. Maybe not exceptional at anything, but he was respectable at a lot of things. I don't think he's easily replaced, but I also don't think he's worth getting into a bidding war for.

Best of luck Dex.

Smith prefers throwing to the slot guy vs throwing to the #2 WR in this offense. Get him Cooks in the 1st, because Beckham may not be there, and call it a day. Cooks could have the same amount of production as Kendall Wright from the slot in his rookie year. He's even faster and more explosive than Wright as well. He'll take advantage of all of the 1-on-1 off-coverage that McCluster failed to take advantage of.

yep ... we have to hope that Dorsey has gauged the market and knows he can get replacements cheaper and/or better.

I've come to terms with the fact that we will almost definately NOT be drafting a wide receiver in the first. Think about this....
we sign Dressler. We keep Avery. We are 'interested' in Avant and Hester.....
we aren't drafting one. Free agency will tell what we are doing, and I would bet about anything that it will be a safety or a guard.

If we lose Asamoah and Schwartz, which we are?
.. the safety FA market is much better than the guards.
Could easily see us trading back to get 2 picks in the first 2-3 rounds to get one.

Jenkins has to step up.. I can't take the bait right now but with the rumors that they love him + Avant/Hester rumors and Dressler, it's a foregone conclusion we won't draft one.

I think the problem was that he was used too often like Kevin Faulk.

I always hated that he was trained to play 2 different positions. I said years ago the only way he'll make it in the NFL is if he learns to be a good receiver. This is really the first year that the team committed to him playing purely receiver and it started to pay off toward the end.

SNR nailed it. He should be paid like a short to mid-range possession receiver. And he's pretty decent in that role. But he's going to get paid like a playmaker and that team is going to be really disappointed.
