FYP

This is going to seem like a defense of Pioli, but it's meant as a more general thing. Deals are easier to make at lower prices this year, because of the flat cap and all the resultant cuts. Very few contracts have really bucked that trend even though we've just been through what's usually the big spending part of free agency.

No way; leave him at nickel - put Arenas at FS; Arenas is a liability on an island in man coverage, and he's terrible in the slot as well. But he's not completely horrible in zone coverages, because he is smart and has some knack for being around the ball - he's heady, and could possibly work as FS.

We'll see plenty of 3 and 4 WR sets anyway...can't have enough DBs in this league, period.

As I said Friday night, Chiefs were still interested. Saturday morning when they talked to Canter, he wanted 8 million a year.

Chiefs told him that won't happen, and they backed out and sent the info to Mike Florio that they were no longer interested.

Smith had interest from SF, Detroit and Philly but all kept insisting on the 8 mill in the early part of Tuesday. When other comparable corners signed for 5, th Eagles signed Fletcher, the Lions kept Houston and the 49ers shifted their focus to Nnamdi.

Chiefs called Canter Tuesday night and re-opened talks now that the price tag was coming down. Smith never took a visit on Tuesday night like was reported.

They cut Cassel this morning because they got to a comfortable number with Smith and needed the space.

Chiefs all along said they were in the 6 mill ballpark and Canter made the numbers work. Smith entered this seeking a 5 year, 40 million dollar deal with 24 mill guaranteed and got 3 for 18 with 11 guaranteed.

IIRC he didnt even make it out of camp.

Oh yeah.. Arenas is still solid. I believe it was him that held Welker to somethin like 2 catches for 20 yards against the pats last time we played

arenas was not terrible last year - i think he is a 4th CB and rushes from the edge...

If that's the case, who do you see them drafting?

Flowers = #1 corner
Smith = #2 corner
Arenas = Nickel Corner
Robinson = Free Safety
Berry = Strong Safety

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Your 9 million dollar third-stringer??

Fisher I believe after we trade back.

He's a perfect match for quick little slot guys.

They named Alex the starter not sure they could draft geno now

lol, was that Mark Brunnell?

No, I'm quoting them because they know football. I'm trying to point out to you that you are actually not in the majority in your thinking. Also, you talk as if the FO can't draft a QB to develop. Look at the draft history of the guys running the show. They like to draft QB's. If there is one that they think is available in the first round over the next year or two, and they can get him, they will.

You are pissed at how the organization was run for the last 40 years. I get that. Me too. I'm not going to hold that against this regime however. They deserve a shot. The draft hasn't even happened yet, they haven't played a single game yet, and you are blasting them. I'm simply willing to give them a shot and see what they can do.

My tailgating buddies you mentioned hated the Pioli hiring at the time, stating it was all Belichick, and I disagreed with them. I was wrong.

I'm simply thinking that our fans need to not use the history of the last 40 years to define this regime, when they have only been in charge for 2 months and haven't even had a draft yet. To this point, they are doing everything possible to improve this team by filling holes left by Pioli.

I still see them drafting an OT regardless if they stay at 1 or move down.

I think Abdullah is actually going to be pretty damn good.

You're better with Abdulla at free, Robinson at Nickel and Arenas at Dime/Punt returner than you are with Abdullah marginalized.

Good deal.

Our secondary, currently under contract:

Brandon Flowers
Eric Berry
Sean Smith
Dunta Robinson
Javier Arenas
Husain Abdullah
Kendrick Lewis
DeQuan Menzie
Jalil Brown
Tysyn Hartman

Pretty ****ing impressive.

add another Safety to pair with Berry and the Chiefs could have one helluva secondary.

No kidding. Surprising we got him for a relative bargain.

Forgot about Abdullah

You're a ****ing know-nothing moron.

I'll let it play itself out, but if they are actually thinking Alex Smith for 3-4 years then it's 100% bad move. I like every thing else they are doing at this point, but unless they go QB in first I'm still going to have a sour ass taste in my mouth. Especially if the other teams are coveting Geno in the top 5.

Also not I will mock fully anyone that sites their or a buddies playing experience as a way to validate an opinion.

Interesting. I would have thought they wouldn't invest that much into a second tackle. Especially if they are going to keep Albert around. Any word from your sources on the matter?

Oh, go fist your mother asswipe!

I heard Bernard Pollard is looking for a job.

All I know is we have tons of options in the secondary now. Tons.

Flowers, Smith, Arenas with Robinson, Berry at S
Flowers, Smith, Robinson, Arenas with Berry, Abdullah.

I just really think though they'll put Robinson at FS and bring in Lewis on passing downs and put Robinson in the slot.

Uh...wut?

Robinson, Abdullah and Lewis are all potential safeties. Menzie is probably a better fit there as well.

Hartman and Brown are the walking dead right now, so I don't count them. But one thing this team now appears to have is a hell of a lot of quality, versatile depth in the safety corps.

What the hot **** is this sentence supposed to be? It's like Terry Schiavo did a mad libs.

Not saying they are gonna take Geno, but Andy Reid named Doug Pederson the starter after he drafted McNabb.

I still think they'll draft a 5th corner and get rid of Hartman and Brown.

I can see the depth being: Flowers, Smith, Robinson, Arenas, draft pick, Berry, Lewis, Abdullah.

He said he was willing to play for KC for free because his strong realationship with Al Harris and someone else I can't remember.

LMAO

Weak. Just like you.

This....all signs are pointing to a tackle wherever they end up picking.

A playmaker like Floyd on the DL now would make a lot of sense too. We should now have a secondary that can hold it's own.

Weak is making a "I'm leaving forever thread" when you get your ass hurt. ****stick.

Now and only now would I be okay with a Mathieu pick in the 5th round or so.

We have enough depth to cover for him if he's the worthless junky he may very well be. If he's re-dedicated, OTOH, he could develop into a dynamite 3rd CB to replace Arenas in 2014 and would probably be among the best returners in the game.

LMAO. That's not the way it sounded in my head.

Nick Jacobs ‏@Jacobs71
Impressions from tape on Sean Smith- Strong in press coverage. Great size. Good speed. Fits this system perfectly. Aggressive CB.

**** you.

You're just another in a long line of ****ing clueless dumbasses that are attempting to garner attention to yourself by bitching and moaning about every little move the Chiefs make.

In other words, you're a dumb****ing weepy vagina, but please, continue. It makes you an easy target.

Once I read it out loud, I got it.

That's because you're an illiterate ****

I think that's because your head has an echo

Love the signing, and the complete change of approach toward free agency with the Chiefs organization. It doesnt guarantee that they will have success because of it (ask Dan Snyder), but it is nice to see them doing something other than sitting on their hands while millions of cap dollars sit untouched.


I wish that there were a surefire lock for a QB choice for them to draft at 1 so we could finally get our own QB, but it looks like its just not in the cards. I feel like if Reid thought any of those guys were worth it, Alex Smith wouldnt be here.

I hate that this is like, the 4th effin QB we've gotten from SF to try to get ourselves a leader on offense. In any case, Im putting my faith in Reid to get the most out of this guy.

Whatever the case, its going to be a very different team than what we saw last season, and that in itself for me is a damn good start.

In other news Jets are 90% sure they will bring in Kevin Kolb.

So, I will admit to not knowing too much about Sean Smith. Can anyone recommend a game to watch where he demonstrates his ball/coverage skills?

I'm pleasantly surprised. Good move.

TWSS

LMAO. I'm the one that love to garner attention? I like the moves dipshit, but it's all for not if you are taking Alice Smith into battle as your QB with Chase ****ing Daniel as your back up. Are they better? They damn sure better be. Is it a recipe for playoff success? The chances are slim. Am I going to laugh with Geno throws for 300 yards and 3 TD's a game while Alex throws for 200 and 1 TD while we scored 17.. **** yeah.

Football

So how much cap space do we have now.

not much

this

Chase's cap hit for this year is $3.8 million. That includes his ENTIRE signing bonus. He's basically on a one year deal.

He 's no Stanford Routt....but he'll do, I guess.

**** you and Jeno ****ing Smythe.

You've just proved that you're ****ing moron. Thanks.

Man..can we add Mauluga too?

That's funny.

You practically invented that style of posting around here. Hell, you cornered that market for it back in '09.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

**** you, too, you ****ing moron.

The difference between 2009 and 2013 is that I was absolutely certain that ***** sucked ass, that his offseason moves sucked ass and that Cassel was a complete failure.

In 2013, the Chiefs are coming off of 3 out of 4 losing seasons with that moron in charge and fired him. They've hired one of THE best coaches in over the course of the past 15 years and a seasoned personnel man from one of the best front offices over the past two decades.

They've made smart moves to fill existing holes without giving up ridiculous contracts, outside of Robinson, these guys are in their mid-to-late 20's (Prime of their careers) and the draft is still ahead.

You and your ****ing dumbass cronies will just continue to bitch and moan and cry like ****ing weeping vaginas because the Chiefs chose Alex Smith over Geno Smith.

I'm ****ing sick of you and your crew's constant whining, so expect to be called on it, you dumb mother****er. Do us all a favor and take a walk into the Pacific Ocean this afternoon and never return, okay?

Bitch.

hahahahaha what a reerun. Geno has along way to go before that happens, if it happens.


BTW- Flowers & Smith are a better tandem than Flowers & Carr.

Depends on how much cap space we have.

People that live in California are angry.

Cut Studebaker sign him....if they could get a deal with Albert done they'd have a lot more money.

I am because I have to go from watching Alex Smith....to ****ing watching Alex Smith.

Uhhhhh I highly doubt it... Smith is way too inconsistent

LMAO

Tell me something positive about Alex please, I want to believe....

Exactly. They likely won't be better year one of playimng together.

Let's all hold hands and sing kumbaya.....

LMAO LMAO

My crew? I didn't realize i had one, but ok.

Nah, Dane, Nah.

It's funny because you were the biggest cry baby Piece of shit on the forum at the time. You threw out insult after insult, whining and bitching...(Eventually crying your way off the forum, which was pretty ****ing hilarious) and now you wanna label others as crybabies? ROFL

No one gives two ****s about you opinions. NO ONE.

People use to. Not anymore. You've outed yourself as nothing more than a dick bag Contrarian. Your schtick is up. Your old and dried up. You're not even a good troll anymore. At least i get some laughs out of Blackmon.

I know Dane, I know. "**** YOU YOU ****ING STUPID MORON BLAH BLAH ****ING BLAH SHIT **** SHIT BLAH, I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT ME OR MY OPINIONS" -Dane

Good. Then stop sharing them.

Good ol' Dane. You make sense in your head im sure...but your stuck on yourself that you can't even see how full of shit you are.

He won't turn the ball over because he's to busy taking sacks.

I sure hope they can finagle some contracts around to sign a brokedick, too.

pissy folks out there. I commute to LA a lot. they drive like shit too.

Detox,

If you don't want your crew anymore - can I have it?

I feel like I should have a crew.

Come on now....really?

I'm not gonna read this whole thread. But this is at best a meh signing for me. Please tell me why I should be excited about DB who has 5 INTs in 4 years.

Reading this didn't exactly give me a chubby either:
