Well this should really save the day {sarcasm}

[jimidollar]

Is this real?

[Frazod]

No shit. Well, as bad as our secondary is, it certainly can't hurt.

[thegame214]

Throwing shit at the wall and seeing if anything sticks

[ChiliConCarnage]

wat? wow

[RockChalk]

Is this real?

Terez and BJ are tweeting about it, as well

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He said last year he just needed wrist surgery to get back to pressing. If he can do that again, it's an upgrade.

[bdj23]

Interdasting

[okcchief]

Wow even not being what he was it’s quite an upgrade.

Bye Bye Philip Gaines!

I threw some shit against the wall the other day in some thread on here... I guess it stuck.

At least it appears they are making an effort.

Heh. I ordered a Kelce jersey, a new t-shirt and a new hat after our fifth win. We've gone 1-4 since. :banghead:

[carcosa]

I haven't been this excited about signing a former Jets/Pats cornerback since Ty Law!!!

[T-post Tom]

Knows this defense. In the Pro Bowl 2 years ago. Maybe something in the tank. Must have looked good in tryout? Go Veach!

[ChiefAshhole1056]

He has experience in Sutton’s defense, if anything it will bring some leadership and experience to a position that needs it

[Strongside]

Revis at 50% is better than anything on our roster sans Peters. Not to mention he can school these clowns up a bit.

[bigjosh]

Im in for this.

[FlaChief58]

And How will we be paying his salary ?

I think he set up direct deposit

Q nlm

[Titty Meat]

But Staylor said our CB's we're good

[The Franchise]

What the fuck? The dude that got straight burned last year?

Oh joy. The only silver lining to this is maybe they'll finally cut Gaines.

[WhawhaWhat]

Is he gonna play QB?

[The Franchise]

But Staylor said our CB's we're good

What's it like? What's it like constantly thinking about Staylor?

[TimeForWasp]

Island in the sky.

[TribalElder]

Revis & Peters should be the best combo around right?

[KranzDictum]

Should be an instant upgrade over your other 2nd and 3rd CB's. Not sure he can still run as fast as Gaines but he has better fundamentals than Gaines. Going to take some time for him to get into football shape.

Now if you could find a couple MLB's and OLB's!

[tatorhog]

this makes me want to call him Brett Reach.

This feels like the time we brought Zach Thomas into camp.

[FlaChief58]

Is he gonna play QB?

No, Reid doesn't want to rock the boat

[St. Patty's Fire]

Is this real?

Literally said "there's no way this is real" when I saw this thread.

Alas. This reeks of desperation.

Although, he's probably better than Gaines.

[Titty Meat]

Got any more shitty Notre Dame players you want to tell us will be great faggot? LMAO

[T-post Tom]

Yep. More help on the way. Ty Law is running wind sprints in the Arrowhead parking lot right now.

http://atlantablackstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/older-man-jogging-1.jpg

[TimeForWasp]

Spiller cut again?

[Sassy Squatch]

If the corresponding cut is Gaines its an A+ signing.

[Fish]

How slow can he be?

[retkim]

But can he play CB? :D

[raybec 4]

I don't think there's any question he's better than Gaines and Acker. He's not the old Revis but 50% of old Revis is better than 100% of new Gaines.

[The Franchise]

Got any more shitty Notre Dame players you want to tell us will be great pillowbitergot? LMAO

Have you heard about this kid named Rudy? I heard he's fucking awesome.

[Titty Meat]

They were lined up at your moms front door.

At least they're trying.
It's a shitload lot better than what we have now, that's for goddamn sure.

[St. Patty's Fire]

A traffic cone would be more reliable than Gaines.

Just a trash player.

*waits for his irl butt buddy to come in here and tell me I'm a horrible human being for criticizing a shit player*

[Hammock Parties]

In related news, the Chiefs signed Tim Tebow to fix their QB position.

[Danguardace]

Per Schefter- Chiefs have been trying to sign Darrelle Revis for much of this season, per source. He wouldn’t take the deal - until now.

[KChiefs1]

Signed for the minimum.



Fantastic

[displacedinMN]

He's better than Phillip Gaines

I sure hope so. He could not be worse could he?

This is big news.

[Titty Meat]

I don't know what to think about this because Revis was so bad last year and he's 32. At the same time he only has to play well for 6 games and if he does that I feel like we might be able to blitz more which would really help with the pass defense. D-Line played better last week and Ragland has shown to be a great run defender.

[TimeForWasp]

Tebow at passing Tight end position.

[Jerm]

Complete desperation move but he HAS to be better than Gaines and if it means bye bye Gaines I'm all for it...

[Chris Meck]

no reason not to like this. Extremely low risk, possible high reward.

[Coochie liquor]

Can he throw the ball well in cold weather??

[ping2000]

If he plays in a wheelchair or is dead he is still an upgrade over Gaines and Acker.

[T-post Tom]

Maybe he can help impart some helpful coaching to the current secondary. Maybe start with how to track the ball on deep routes. Leverage, reading the receiver, how to stay on your feet. Ok....pretty much everything.

[Coochie liquor]

In related news, the Chiefs signed Bernie Kosar to fix their QB position.

Fyp

[hometeam]

If this guy makes a SINGLE play, he is better than Gaines.

[ForeverChiefs58]

At least they're trying.
It's a shitload lot better than what we have now, that's for goddamn sure.



Completely agree. Dion Sanders in his 50’s would still be better then Gaines.




Now, who’s next? Ray Lewis

[The Franchise]

Chiefs signed CB Darrelle Revis.

Revis had some in-season interest from the Chargers, but there hadn't been any updates on him since September. His signing is a splash move for a Chiefs secondary that's struggled opposite Marcus Peters. It's anyone guess how much Revis has left after missing the first three months and coming off a heavy decline in 2016. Revis played the first five years of his career with DC Bob Sutton, so he should be a strong scheme fit.

Source: Terez Paylor on Twitter

[TambaBerry]

can someone please show me how he was so terrible last year? Was he terrible to Revis standards or was he overall terrible to Gaines standards

[The Franchise]

can someone please show me how he was so terrible last year? Was he terrible to Revis standards or was he overall terrible to Gaines standards

He got burned.....a lot.

[Bewbies]

If this gets Gaines off the field I'm in favor.

[RedSea90]

Revis had wrist problems as well as legal problems last year. His mind wasn’t right at the time and he couldn’t press because of his wrist. I believe that’s the reason for his bad play last year. Also the jets were a shit show last year no sense in playing all out.

The mystery IR will be Gaines with a hamstring or groin injury.

Good if they think that he will help.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I'm really doubting he's going to help much. He sucked the last time he played. He's 32 so I doubt he's got any speed.

What we need if for our fucking offense to get their heads outta their asses and move the fucking ball and put some points on the board.

[BigRedChief]

i know the bar is pretty damn low here. But, does he have any gas left in the tank? Anyone know?

[thabear04]

At least Revis will wear 24 for his jersey since DJ White was cut.

[Sure-Oz]

Can he pass rush though?

[JakeF]

Jets still paying him 6 million so we get him more or less free. He's gotta be better than Gaines, right?

[Rain Man]

The Peters-Revis Archipelago. I like the sound of that.

[Gravedigger]

I think the experience is why they signed him, can't be worse than our second corner spot, and will help the young guys see things more clearly. You wanted Veach to do something, here ya go.

[bigjosh]

Even if this doesnt pan out, its a good signing. They have him for nothing this year, and he is on retainer for next year if it does happen to work out.

Im all for this move. There are other, older corners in the league playing at a high level. Plus he knows this Rex Ryan, Bob Ryan, Sutton defense.

[srvy]

He was pretty bad last year but he was playing without one hand. He couldnt play up at the line and physical the receiver. So they played him off the receiver but he couldnt run with the faster guys and was burned a lot.

I think he can help if he is back to being able to knock guy off their route and may give Sutton more confidence to blitz more. Its worth a shot guys what else is out there?

[B_Ambuehl]

He wasn't bad last year by any means. He just wasn't worth the $20+million (or whatever he was making) "Revis island" hype he'd created the previous 9 years where he would completely take every #1 receiver out of the game with no help. As a #2 corner, I'll take him all day long.

oh and let me be one of the 1st to say


BYE GAINES

even if its not till January

goodbye bitch

[WhiteWhale]

Can he pass rush though?

Pass rush is pointless when teams can just 3 step drop and always find a wide open WR because your CB's can't cover a cooking pot.

KC has pass rush issues, but man, the secondary has played like dog shit all season and it's entirely because of terrible CB play.

Which is unfortunate because our super amazing fired GM drafted quite a few defensive backs, but most of them sucked.

[Ming the Merciless]

is it dumb to get excited over this?

probably

but if we shore the D up, the spotlight / magnifying glass will be on the O even that much more

He's wrong. Revis signed a 2 year deal, if he plays well enough to get a nice deal in the off-season he's not going anywhere.

He's wrong. Revis signed a 2 year deal, if he plays well enough to get a nice deal in the off-season he's not going anywhere.I imagine there's some kind of catch about the 2nd year.

[wheeler08]

Hold on fellas. My alert on my phone said that the Chiefs have been trying to sign him since Berry went down. Said that Revis was open to position change. So maybe with his age and slowness, maybe he is moving to safety?

Don’t burn those Gaines jerseys just yet fellas. Remember, it’s Thanksgiving, not Christmas!

[BWillie]

Yeah, I didn't want to break the news early. I heard from my sources he was in Leawood looking at houses with Ty Law and Scott Pioli.

[Sure-Oz]

@RapSheet: #Chiefs CB Darrelle Revis signed a 2-year deal that pays him the minimum (with incentives available) for 2017 and $10M for 2018, I’m told. KC must make a decision by the start of the 2018 league year before the money becomes guaranteed.

Ehhhh....not really.

A. If he's back to form, which I highly doubt, they cut him and we pay him nothing next year.

B. If he's somehow back to form, which I highly doubt, they can choose whether he's worth the $10 million pricetag or just cut him.

A is the most likely scenario and we're out nothing.

[Sassy Squatch]

LMAO here we have a case of a bitch bitching just to bitch. Relax bro, its low risk, potentially high reward. Go back to whining about Smith on every social media platform available to you.

[Dante84]

Also, if he plays his ass off to earn a FA deal, assuming we don’t retain him for 10mil, then it still works out in our favor.

Hali is back practicing again. So he should be good for a half a game.

[mnchiefsguy]

Yep. Zero risk, no cap hit, and he has to be better than Gaines.

If he could hold down the #2 corner spot somehow...move Mitchell into Gaines spot.........probably a pipe dream.

[Scooter LaCanforno]

Revis may have lost a little speed. But getting burnt last year might have been because he had no Safety help. Jets drafted Safety with their first 2 draft picks this year.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Unless we start getting a pass rush, it wouldn't matter much if we had him and Deion in their primes.

Secondary has been a bigger issue. Most QBs have been getting the ball out their hands almost instantly against this defense.

Bitching just to bitch. This is why you're perceived by most here as a clown. We're paying next to nothing for this guy, he wont see a dime of that 10 mil unless he completely shuts down his side of the field the rest of the season/playoffs.

[ForeverChiefs58]

Sounds like we got a very experienced on field player-coach for the secondary for cheap.

Win-win!

[jspchief]

Can he teach Alex how to read cover 2 defenses?

Revis' biggest strength is his ability to jam at the line. Something our CBs never do. Will be interesting to see how they play him. Regardless of how it pans out, it's a good move. That side of the secondary is broke as fuck, the only mistake the FO could have made was to do nothing.

If it's not we are on the hook for zilch, nada, nothing. How can we restructure the contract to be better for us in any way? Welll one he would have signed anyway.

[Molitoth]

Has to be better than Gaines.

What a perfect PR move to get the pressure off of the Alex/Pat debates currently going on.

A) It's not your $'s or my $'s so who cares how much we pay him

E) At least they are trying something

Yep, I dont think there is a single negative consequence to this signing. Worst case scenario he is a lateral move from a shitty corner and we cut bait at the end of the season.

Best case scenario he plays at an all pro level and lifts this defense to somewhere in the respectable category.

I fully expect it to be in between those two extremes somewhere. He will be an upgrade for sure i think. I mean, how could he possibly be any worse than gaines/acker?

[petegz28]

Now, the question is, does Sutton crank up the pressure or just keep calling the same, shit scheme?

?

[Eleazar]

Why not?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

So to sort some things out, here's what I've gathered...

- Revis was most recently good in 2015. Went to a Pro Bowl, was voted #24 on the players' top 100 heading into 2016
- He had wrist surgery before 2016, and gained weight. He also could not press as much as he wanted to coming off of the surgery, especially early on in 2016
- He is now healthy and is back down to his old playing weight

Hmm....

[TwistedChief]

Damn. This might help us to win another game this season. CP could be up in arms if this guy is anything above D+. This signing could really stunt Mahomes's progress.

[Hammock Parties]

Not from what I read. If he doesn't play well, we can get out of it before the new league year.

Regardless of whether or not the Chiefs pay him, we're still being used.

We've been trying to sign him for weeks and he wouldn't do it until now.

Because he's lazy, and just wants to guarantee his benefits.

Well played, Mr. Revis.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

This is the part where we all hope and pray that Revis plays great and Mahomes takes over and takes the offense to another level of explosiveness just in time for the playoffs.

Ehh, regardless he is playing for us for next to nothing for 6 or more games. If he is using it for benefits so be it. In the long run its a win win. 6 games for low cash. He is an upgrade one way or another, and I think he has too much pride to just mail it in.

[JakeF]

Maybe the Chiefs hope that Revis can straighten out Peters ala Berry.

Revis was going to count 15.3mm against the cap in 2017 for the Jets and he was released after four felony charges that have since been dropped. And we only have to pay his dental and medical? To get Gaines off the field?

I'd say even Clay can't find a problem with this, but... Well...

Regardless of whether or not the Chiefs pay him, we're still being used.

We've been trying to sign him for weeks and he wouldn't do it until now.

Because he's lazy, and just wants to guarantee his benefits.

Well played, Mr. Revis.

[oldman]

I see no downside to this signing. He has to be better than Gaines/Acker, he's playing for free, and if he works out, we get him for $10M (or less) next year. The only person I've seen bitching about this move is a person that loves to hate the Chiefs. So what if he gets another year service added to his pension, it surely isn't coming out of our pockets.

Well played, Mr. Revis.you think the Chiefs are unaware that Revis benefits from this deal other than playing for the minimum?

We are desperate. If he's a flop, he's still probably better than Gaines and either way we are not out shit in salary cap.

Are we supposed to care if Revis gets benefits from the NFL? We give a shit if he's better than Gaines. And that's a damn low bar.

[Sassy Squatch]

Goddamn. I've never seen a Clay troll get so universally shit on. Usually he's got at least a couple of fools backing him up.

I doubt he came back just for benefits when he's filthy rich. Like he can't afford that.

He's using us for the vet minimum? LMAO

Where were the other teams that wanted to sign this brokedick???

[MAG]

I can't believe there are people who oppose this signing. But I forgot, I'm posting on dumbasscity.com.

[hometeam]

Oh my God. What will this accomplish.

we have the biggest dumpster fire at CB in the league. HisTORICALY BAD Phillip Gaines.

Do you remember a guy named Vince Agnew that was a pre camp cut a few years ago? We had a pre-season game against the Saints, and Drew Brees torched this dude for like 400 yards just to him. Looked like he was lost out there, every ball went at him and he was NOWHERE to be found. Got cut the next day.

Watching Gaines play is like watching that guy, but its a never ending nightmare where he never gets cut.

Revis is an upgrade no matter how he is compared to what he was. As long as hes not the shittiest corner of all time we are better off.

[staylor26]

What's it like? What's it like constantly thinking about Staylor?

He continues to act like I was the only person that liked Mitchell going into the season. Honestly, who didn’t?

He also still think Nelson sucks.

Billay is a fucking weirdo and a moron.

[Hammock Parties]

It's not a negative.

It's just not going to result in anything positive, barring a sudden fountain-of-youth explosion in his legs.

It's just a farce. Desperation. Grasping at straws.

Chuefs!

I’ll fully admit that I thought Mitchell was just fine, and we would be pretty solid at corner. Now it’s just disappointing.

While I agree that it likely won’t make a difference , there’s no doubt that if the Chargers or Raiders signed Revis you’d be telling us the Chiefs are going to lose the division because of it lol.

The truth is it’s a good low risk/high reward move for a desperate team, and if they were to turn it around would certainly be one of the reasons.

While I'm completely fine with the move, it doesn't address the true biggest problem on the team... the QB position.

[Couch-Potato]

Kinda knew he was still on our radar. We tried to sign him a couple years ago, during that time he received a lot of love from Sutton and Reid in the media. Saw that he was jobless and was wondering if we would bring him in for a playoff run. Reid mentions in the ESPN article that they've been in contact all season, I wouldn't be surprised if they've had this planned for awhile....He will become a Chief but won't have to participate until closer to playoffs. This way he's fresh when it matters and he can get in shape and up to speed on the defense without fear of injury. I was wondering if we were basically doing the same thing with Hali, but I apparently not.

[staylor26]

Peters and Revis on the outside with Nelson in the slot is a decent group of CB's (assuming Revis can give us even middle of the pack CB play)

Yeah but we SHOULD be grasping at straws right now. Take a chance. You seriously wouldn't take a chance because revis might make out financially?

Who gives a shit if he makes out in the end. Using that as a reason not to try this is ridiculous.

Yeah a QB who is top 5 in pretty much every stat is the main problem with the team.

Nobody's backing him up. Haven't seen that happen since he joined the Hermines, and that was a colossal failure.

[SAUTO]

Was it dj white?

Could be he's got a something left, I don't know. He might be a motivating presence too.

[bigjosh]

Bottom of the roster has to be somebody like Ramik, or Gaines, or Cam erving.

[bigjosh]

I think he was let go a couple weeks ago to make room for Tamba no?

[Reerun_KC]

Yeah only a few supporters joined with clay while the rest of cp was sucking herms nuts cause he was going to fix the defense.

It was fucking embarrassing watching you guys swallow Herm.

[Reerun_KC]

Which Tampa has been a waste of roster space for 3 years +.

[BryanBusby]

He's probably replacing Devey.

They will probably find the time to sign and release CJ Spiller in that process within 30 mins.

[stevieray]

While I'm completely fine with the move, it doesn't address the true biggest problem on the team... the QB position.

such a fresh ****ing take.

because it could NEVER be anything else, amirite?

...like the most penalized team in the league. or a defense that ranks at the bottom of giving up third down plays, or giving up the most runs of 10 yards or more...or your #2 and 3 WR's getting hurt, or almost half of your oline getting hurt?

This place has jumped the shark.

..it's a one trick pony with tunnel vision when it comes to defeat/victory.

Smith has played well enough to get a bye on this last crappy game.

[BossChief]

Maybe the Chiefs hope that Revis can straighten out Peters ala Berry.

Revis will teach Peters to go to the highest bidder.

[WhiteWhale]

Look folks, if he sucks worse than gains, I'll owe you all a coke.

[WhiteWhale]

While I'm completely fine with the move, it doesn't address the true biggest problem on the team... the QB position.

Great point!

So which QB on the market did you have in mind?

I've heard something about Kaepernick being available. RGIII is still out there.

How about Vince Young?

['Hamas' Jenkins]

?

"This guy here is dead."

Too subtle of a Major League reference for you?

[Titty Meat]

If this secondary continues to get burned can we refer the Revis/Peters duo as "Revis & Butthead"?

[Coach]

Bottom of the roster has to be somebody like Ramik, or Gaines, or Cam erving.

Can't see Cam Erving being released due to the O-line depth issue. Also can't see Ramik released as well, due to the same thing as well. It seems that CB positions is a little maxed out, so somebody (preferably Gaines) has to go.

[Coach]

While it's great that Veach is trying to get the CB issue addressed, it still doesn't address the pass-rush/run defense issue as well as someone else already pointed out, the QB issue.

[Willie Lanier]

Gonna kick Houston out to slot CB position now.

I'm telling you guys, the pass rush's main issue is in fact the secondary. Every time I watch live or go back and look at the coaches film from this season, I am amazed at how quickly QBs are getting rid of the football against us. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that only Peters has good ball skills of the group.

The receivers are either open immediately, or the QB just trusts his guys to come down with the 50/50 balls because our other corners don't handle it well.

This, and if they send a blitz it opens up another receiver even faster. Im intrigued by this signing. Low risk, High ceiling.

[Chiefs4TheWin]

A cardboard cutout of Phillip Gaines is better than Phillip Gaines.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

ALL in.

The very thought of Peters and the other guys having an opportunity to pick this man's brain gives me wood of Mahomian magnitude.

Veach not firing shots, but rather launching ICBM's.

[Only158]

This just in...sources close to the Chiefs claim that Revis was not their first choice....these same sources claim that the Chiefs could not come to terms with Lester Hayes and were laughed out of Gary Fencik's home

Seriously, yes it is desperation, but they just lost to a 1-8 NY Giants team. I mean come on...its not like that would warrant a change at QB!!!

[cooper barrett]

better than what we got lets go

At this time someone willing to throw a pen across the desk is an improvement.

But there have been some instances where Dumbass Sutton rushed 3 and dropped 8, and those 3 couldn't even get to the QB and the QB had all day to read "How to Kill a Mockingbird" and complete a 15+ yard pass.

Even at a normal 4 man rush, it still have issues.

[wazu]

Was initially rolling my eyes at this move but kinda liking it now. Revis is 32, last year was a loss due to injury, now he’s back in shape and for once has a deal that bets on himself to earn the big payday next year. Is it the big move we all want to see? No. But seems solid from a risk/reward perspective.

I read 2 years on the Vet Min...I'm assuming he'll be on IR half the season next year to keep him fresh for another late season run.

[notorious]

If he can be anything like his former self this will be huge.

[Sure-Oz]

@RapSheet: #Chiefs CB Darrelle Revis' new 2-year contract contains significant team-based incentives. Source says Revis can earn $1.75M if he plays in an AFC Title Game and an additional $1.75M if KC wins the Super Bowl. The #Jets would not be on the hook for those incentives.

[oldman]

I read 2 years on the Vet Min...I'm assuming he'll be on IR half the season next year to keep him fresh for another late season run.

I'm not sure that's the case. It's s 2 year deal with no guaranteed money for 2018. If he sucks, BFD, cut him.

[Rausch]

If he can be anything like his former self this will be huge.

He can't be. He's not anywhere close to his former self.

If he can be effective enough to be respectable he can help push Gaines off the field and that would be a big help...

Maybe Revis can catch a fucking jumpball instead of fall down. That's a huge upgrade.

[Rausch]

Well, he's not all that tall but he does have good ball awareness.

His problem isn't fighting to make a play - it's having lost 2 or 3 steps and his famed quickness...
