Just because a player signs with KC doesn't mean we were his only option.

You think Thomas Jones signed here because we were the only team that wanted him?

The Jets didn't want him back, even when given the opportunity to match the Chiefs final offer.

And that's just one example. Feel free to tell us where else he visited or who else made him a contract offer.

The proof is in the pudding

I think the Chiefs were the only team to offer him the kind of pay he wanted. He's been a 1,000 yards+ running back for years. Why would he agree to become a part time player, if not for the money?

If he wanted to win, he would have re-signed with the Jets at a much lower rate, or gone to an equally competitive team.

and for the same reason we released Weigman when we were gonna go with a bigger line and a power scheme. He made the probowl the next year zoneblocking.

There are reports that Seattle and the Texans were both in negotiations with Lilja as well, so we werent the only team bidding for his services...

Yea the Jets don't want a guy back and so his only option option out of 31 teams was to go to KC. Give it a rest. That isn't proof of shit. But hey it supports your seriously negative biased opinions.

Not according to Dane.

Weigmann will be 37 when the season starts.

:shake:

Reports, eh? So, a two-time Pro Bowl guard that's only 28 years old is available, yet the only teams interested were a 4-12 team, a 5-11 team and the Texans?

Wow, how did his agent stand all that heat?

Pretty much.

Why don't you go ahead and prove otherwise instead of acting like a jackass?

Because he can't.

He had no choice. That's the best he is going to get if he wants a job in the league. I think it's clear teams in the NFL now are looking for young people when it comes to RB's. Nobody is going to overpay for 30+ year old RB and count on him to be the starter.

Again, he had no other option. It's not just about the winning, it's a matter of him being employed for the role teams ask of him. the Jets couldn't re-sign him because of the way the rules and the way FA is structured amongst the final four teams in the playoffs. Any team that makes the final four can't sign an UFA till they release a player, and can only spend a certain sum of cash. Forgive me, not exactly sure that's how it works but something of that degree or caliber.

And there are other players out there they probably valued more than TJ

Wasn't pretty much 90%+ of the FA class of '10 over 30? Just a question.

With you, the Chiefs can't win. Ever.

Best RB in FA. check
Best G in FA. check
Best C in FA. check
Dane's approval. useless

you can't prove otherwise either. Either of you. You are speculating. Your speculation is no more fact than mine.
You can't PROVE no other teams were interested.

Yeah, that ship sailed with Herm. You should have sailed with him if you loved him so much. :D

back to stating what players and coaches think, feel and know..?

:doh!:

I bet that we trade him for a late round draft pick.
