Hmmmm... no.

They should retain both Bowe & Albert.

Mike Wallace anyone?

Reid LOVES offensive tackles, so expect Albert to be retained.

I wasn't sure what would happen with him, but with Andy Reid as the new coach I'm positive he'll be brought back.

If Geno Smith is throwing quick slants to Bowe, there will be much YAC to be had. :hmmm:

Good news...

Geno can throw the Fade.

Imagine Mitch Holthus on the radio, "Geno Smith under Center, 1st and 10 from the Bronco's 17 yard line. Quick snap, Geno drops back, tosses to the back of the Endzone, Bowe one on one, Bowe in the air.................TOUCHDOWN KANNNNN ZAZZZZZ SITTTTAHHHHHH"

Bowl or bust, we're going to the ship!

The point gets raised plenty. The point that rarely gets raised is his proclamation of wanting to retire a Chief. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100...as-city-chiefs

I doubt he leaves, not with Reid, a new QB, and all the cheddar Clark's about to show him...

Not to mention his migraines. Or the fact that we could easily move our second and some of our comp. picks to move back up into the first and have our pick of just about any of the top guys.

Not really.

He didn't and never has. The players may have pulled for Romeo, but Pioli hired him, not Clark. As for now, the players were STILL pulling for Romeo after the season ended. Clark fired him anyway.

That was up as soon as we lost our last game.

You have something to say?

Didn't we do that?

:clap:

He would be my favorite FA WR

He's saying that comp picks can not be used in trade.

Will Maclin be a FA?

They can't? i didnt know that.

Wallace is a diva douche, no thanks. His antics translated to poor performance on the field.

Bowe, maclin, breaston sounds real nice Clarke...just a real nice surprise...

I thought I'd heard he would be on local radio, but apparently not.

He's got a year left.

But do they "fit"......

We discuss this every year.

BOO! Forgot about that.

Are you sure. Hardly seems like it'd be relevant. We almost never get any decent comp picks.

Funny three others have said there is only a small window inlate Feb/early march we can actually ink the deal

Now I'm wondering again, not saying you are wrong Aturnis though

At least we don't ever have to hear about this "right 53" "Patriot way" bullshit EVER AGAIN.

I bet they are both signed within 2 months.

They're probably right. I thought I remembered from early this season that the talk was until the season was over and some took that as immediately following our last game. New league year sounds more correct though. More uniform for everyone.

Good to see King is still getting insider info from Scott Pioli.

Today's Branden Albert rumor is that the Chiefs won't re-sign him in free agency

It seems like the NFL free agency rumors start earlier and earlier every year. This year is no different with most of the attention centered on Branden Albert, the key to the Kansas City Chiefs in both free agency and the 2013 NFL Draft.

In his latest 2013 NFL mock draft -- which has the Chiefs taking Luke Joeckel, by the way -- Russ Lande of National Football Post writes:

While the Chiefs have a desperate need for a quarterback, they have let it be known that they will not be re-signing left tackle Branden Albert due to rumored back issues.

Hmm. Well that's interesting. No one bothered to let this be known to me. If this were truly the BIG BREAKING NEWS it should be then I would guess it wouldn't be placed as a blurb in one NFP's mock drafts. In other words, we'll see. We have a long way to go.

NFP Mock Draft - Version 6.0

Russ Lande takes another crack at predicting the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

1. Kansas City Chiefs: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M, Junior: While the Chiefs have a desperate need for a quarterback, they have let it be known that they will not be re-signing left tackle Branden Albert due to rumored back issues. So it makes a lot of sense for them to draft Joeckel who will be able to handle the left tackle job as a rookie and be their long term answer on the blindside.

Arizona Cardinals: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia, Senior: Although Coach Arians is publicly stating that they are going to work with Kevin Kolb; I believe it is a smoke screen and that the Cardinals will select Smith. A physically gifted quarterback with great football intelligence/instincts, Smith should be able to step in and start as a rookie which would greatly upgrade the Cardinals passing attack and make Larry Fitzgerald happy.

Makes sense.

not good enough for Chiefs, good enough for the Cardinals...

lovely

Exactly.

It's one big crock of shit.

It's important to shore up that Left Tackle spot since Albert's leaving. You can fill a vacant QB spot anytime with just about anybody and win. You're not winning anything without a LT.

Don't actually know WHOSE blindside that would be but hey, we're set for 10 years!

:shake:

Branden Albert ‏@Balbert76
More rumors and blogging I see... Lol comical

It is indeed laughable. Seems like these guys just predict the Chiefs to take an OL every year in the first and move on.

I've always believed that LT is the most overrated position in the league. That said I absolutely want Albert back. But even if we lose Albert and say QB was out of the equation. I'm taking other players before I spend it on Joeckel. I think Stephenson has the potential to be very good

i think we come out only keeping 1 of these guys

Instead of addressing that desperate need, we think the Chiefs will ignore that and draft the pieces around that desperate need. Because priorities are stupid.
