i'm surprised AND impressed ... carl swallowed his pride and gave the 2nd round pick.


we needed it bad



good job :clap:

Finally! I am as happy as a 2 pecker billy goat! PBJ

Good idea! lets try for their #38 pick in the second. ROFL

:thumb: Vlad favorably impressed and encouraged for the season. It is about time, way to go Carl you dickweed.

The King has done us right this off season. Good job Carl, you have now entered Tuckdaddy's NO BASH ZONE until after the 05 season.

PBJ PBJ PBJ

"I FEEEEEEEEEL Good!" dah...dah..dah-dah...duh, duhn....."Like Sugar and Spice.......I Feeeeeeeel Nicccceeee!"

Wow, that's fantastic. I'm looking forward to this coming season. Hopefully, we can add a decent LB or DE (to replace Hicks) and this will have been the best offseason in a long, long time. :)

Really? Isn't that the exact opposite of what King Carl said 3 days ago?

So Carl gave in to the rookie coach/GM???????? :banghead::banghead:

Thank God! I'm so glad I got on msn and saw it but had to come here to make it real! Hay now we have upgraded but maybe just maybe the best choice was getting gunther back and now giving him more tools to work with!

come on Vladdy...you know better than to call Carl a Dickweed after getting Surtain.

Looks to me like he paid market value. I was hoping he could steal him, but this is okay.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs reached a deal with Miami cornerback Patrick Surtain, coach Dick Vermeil told The Associated Press on Friday.
The three-time Pro Bowler could go a long way toward shoring up one of the NFL’s worst defenses and allow Kansas City to use this weekend’s draft for other needs, such outside linebacker. A Chiefs spokesman said Surtain was still in Miami at midmorning, but would be in Kansas City later Friday to take his physical.
“He is signed,” Vermeil told the AP, although the move ultimately was contingent upon Surtain’s passing his physical and the deal’s being approved by the league office.
Also still to be done was the paperwork involving the trade with the Dolphins, who had been demanding a second-round draft pick as compensation for the man whose 25 interceptions the past three seasons lead all NFL cornerbacks.
“I’m very pleased,” Vermeil said. “He’s an impact player who can help a defense that needs help. He won’t need any grooming or more experience.”
Surtain will play right cornerback opposite Eric Warfield, who has been the only dependable member of a secondary that has been one of the most ineffective in the league the past three years.
The Chiefs’ poor defense, near the bottom of the league, has wasted the consistent production of a top-flight offense that sent five players last season to the Pro Bowl.
“We’ve given up too many big plays,” Vermeil said.
Acquiring Surtain completes the aggressive plan general manager Carl Peterson had laid out to get a linebacker, safety and cornerback before the draft.
Several weeks ago, Kansas City signed free agent middle linebacker Kendrell Bell and safety Sammy Knight, as well as reserve pass-rush specialist Carlos Hall.
“Carl and his people have done a great job,” said Vermeil, who has said this will most likely be his last year as a head coach. “It’s very exciting to consider all the possibilities we have now.”

I am relieved and happy. I never thought CP would pony up for a stud CB.

Now, imagine Johnson slipping in the draft.
