Baskett has always seemed like he has a boat load of talent to me. He has the size speed, I've seen him make some nice grabs. Wonder why he isn't a top 3 WR for the Eagles?


Baskett seemed promising during his rookie year - but then came the drops -- I/M/O, Hank had trouble running the right routes.

I was surprised Baskett lasted this long on special teams. The Eagles felt he was a good special teams blocker, he would be on the team. Honestly, I was surprised he made the team at the end of preseason.

I'm not sure if the Eagles had Baskett listed as a reserve. However, if he was -- I’d expect him to be dead last. The Eagles have younger and much better receivers on their roster.

Just my observations of Baskett through the years.

KC should claim him. Ticket sales will increase just to see Kendra in some skimpy Chiefs gear.

LMAO

but not on Pioli & Haley's dime. ...

Sometimes it's the players agents feeding the media on teams that are interested in their client. Honestly, I believe that's the case here. Could be wrong

sorry for all the grammatical errors -- i'm at work

It may or may not matter, but the Chiefs added Lance Long to their roster so they may feel that they've adequately addressed the WR spot.

If 31 other teams pass on him at that price tag then, I would say, yes it's unwise. Besides, who says he's clearly better? The guy has yet to be anything other than potential.

But at least he HAS TALENT. Something, oh say, Copper, doesn't have much of

This 1.5 MIL isn't all that much.

IIRC he had some nice catches in the playoffs one year. I think he was Donovan's go to guy before they upgraded the position.

I'm calling Bullshit on this one.

Well his GF is a HUGE chargers fan so this would be hilarious if we picked him up.

I think he is a more solid option then some of the WR's we have. Eagles have a lot of young Wr's hence why he was let go.

But who needs WR's when our line blows dick and can't give the qb anytime anyway.

Dylan 09-16-2009 01:18 PM

are my posts invisible?

just checking. ... LMAO

I love this brand of logic. If another team is uninterested...
It must mean that he can't be valuable to the Chiefs.

He's better than Copper. By a mile.
Copper's last catch was in 2007.
Baskett's proven he can stretch the field.

The Rams signed a WR yesterday so are they still interested in Baskett?

I don't know, both teams are so early in the waiver wire that you would think a team like the Rams or Chiefs would have claimed him by now. Don't we have till 5 est today to find out?

The Chiefs may feel that they're set at WR now.
I'll bet Long is activated before...well...long.
