Ok it was 3rd and 1 my bad LMAO

Good #3 receiver and very good punt returner. Set the NFL record for punt return yards.

Damn solid signing for the right coin.

Our third wide and returners have been absolute dogshit forever.

Decent returner and below average player on Offense. Would be a good pick up on the cheap, but you're gonna overpay to get him.

Condolences

I should say, people hate McCluster because he didn't develop into the dynamic player they expected him to be.

I actually like McCluster and think he brings something to the table.

My honest take on Dexter's future though. If he ends up in New Orleans, that'd be a perfect place for him.

The Saints are moving towards a more ball-control offense.

Interesting. But I still think he could make a nice impact in New Orleans with Brees. But the majority of teams he ends up with, he's going to be just a guy.

In the Chiefs' final 8 games, 2 of them were blowouts where the game was over in the 4th (1 of those games, Dex had a career day). 1 of them was a Colts blowout where the game was over in the Chiefs' final drive. So that leaves 5 games where the game was close in the 4th quarter:

• Buffalo - Dex does nothing
• Denver - http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...-18-yard-catch - 18 yard catch on a critical 4th quarter drive with 3:30 to go. Terrific back shoulder catch
• San Diego - 11 yard gainer putting the ball on the 5 yard line with 1:30 minutes to go (setting up Bowe TD)
• Denver (game 2) - 28 yard pass and diving catch (http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...ctacular-catch) with about 2 minutes left on a critical drive
• In the final drive of the game against San Diego game 2, he had a 14 yard gainer to set up a first down with 3:30 minutes to go

So out of those 5 games, in 4 of those games he had a first down in the most important drive of the game. All of them were over 10 yards. 2 of them were circus catches.

No, he was not the elusive YAC receiver we thought he was. But he became a really solid possession receiver who came up really, really big in some big situations late in the season.

Hahaha. Thank God for those four catches. What a stud.

Also what the ****, that first Denver game was over. No one cares about an 18-yard catch when the game was ****ing over, nimrod.

I like him alot except his ability to break tackles. If he were about 10-15 pounds heavier with more muscle, he would be amazing......oh well......time to move on.

Good. They can do better.

Cool story.

He breaks tackles about as well as 2.7 LJ did.

Well... 2.7 until Clay was an asswipe.

They were down by 10 points with 3:30 minutes left. The game wasn't over. If they score on that drive, they were absolutely in the game.

Also true.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

Um... okay

That game was over as soon as they went down 27-10.

Wooohooooo garbage time

He was never a threat unless as a PR which didn't come to fruition until Toub came here.

The Chiefs were down by 10 points and were on the 50 yard line with 4 minutes left in the game. They score a TD in under a minute or two, and they are down by 3 points with about 3 minutes to go. That's hardly garbage time.

Dexter was barely used as a punt returner in the past.

And those examples I showed you above showed he was a reliable 4th quarter option. No, he's no Dwayne Bowe. He's not Wes Welker. He's a solid hands receiver who can be a solid but unspectacular #3 slot receiver and a terrific #4 option. Saying he didn't bring anything to the table as a receiver is a big understatement.

LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

With Alex Smith and Dexter McCluster it is.

Just great...well be stuck with Avant


@TerezPaylor: I’m told the #Chiefs indeed have interest in former Philly WR Jason Avant.

He's better than dex

I've always like Avant. If you like good hands then he's your guy. He has some of the best in the NFL.

:clap: Knew it. Reid loves bringing in his old flames.

Avant to replace DMC offensively. And drafting a real WR. I'd take it since he'll be cheap as hell.

Don't know a single coach that doesn't.

Avant is an upgrade and cheaper. I don't see the big deal. I don't think this really effects the likelihood of drafting a WR either

Well, Dexter brings more special teams versatility, a little more elusiveness (even if not elite), and is a hell of a lot younger. But Avant gives you a better pure possession receiver at a cheaper price. I think it's a great move. But they still need a vertical threat and a true YAC slot receiver.

Dexter is not elusive. At all

Can't say that about anyone we've got now...

Jason Avant ROFL this team is going 6-10 next year

Hey, he made some guys miss in he Giants game, and 300 pound Mike Tolbert slipped on a wet field once and made him look good.

He is elusive enough. Just nowhere close to as elusive as his fanboys say he is.

ROFL

CP at FA time. Wow.

Literally the only time I've seen him make a defender miss is punt returns

Look who you're taking to

We need a guy who can consistently move the chains on 3rd and 5. Avant can do that. We haven't had that since TG left. I hope we get him.

No time to panic. Free agency makes everyone crazy. We also don't have. Bunch of cap room. Teams don't win by spending big. I'd just like to see us get a good FS, WR that can create separation and a DE that can rush the passer.

That is not literally true. He is definitely not nearly as elusive as we thought he'd be. I don't think it's true to say he's not at all elusive. He had a few plays here and there. Not enough to call him a playmaker. His value was that he surprisingly became a solid receiver before and during the catch.

This will be a day long remembered.

Every move, or even rumored move must have huge ramifications for the season, for some here.

Jason Avant? The Chiefs clearly think he is the answer at WR.

Whats that suppose to mean?

This team didn't beat a single team with a winning record minus the Eagles with a backup QB.


They play the best teams in the league next year but that's ok theyll beat them with a DC who should be fired and a 30 year WR who caught 38 balls last year.

That it's march and you've been at defcon 1 in every thread with the "5 or 6 win team hahaha".

Players improve, players get worse, same as teams. It ridiculous to make any claims like that yet

So, you agree. The rumor of the Chiefs "interest" can only lead to an offensive attack, focused around Avant.

If Jason Avant is gonna make or break this season, we've got bigger problems

So.. he sucks? lol

@LyleGraversen: .@emceereach Avg the past 4 seasons:
McCluster - 43 rec 375 yrd 8.7 YPR 1.25 TD
Avant - 48.5 rec 587 yrd 12.1 YPR 1 TD

YPR catches your eye. Other than that, Avant would be just a, let's see what he's got, signing.

If you could get that out of your 4 best wr, I'd say that's pretty solid

If last year taught us anything, it's that free agency for Dorsey is about plugging holes with solid, but not amazing veterans.

I don't think Avant would prevent us from taking a WR in the first round.

Dex could fill a lot of roles, was dependable, and played hard. Maybe not exceptional at anything, but he was respectable at a lot of things. I don't think he's easily replaced, but I also don't think he's worth getting into a bidding war for.

Best of luck Dex.

Average receiving first downs per game:

Avant: 1.92
McCluster: 1.33

Now we wait for some nimrod to say "Avant is as explosive."

I seem to remember Avant having very questionable hands.

Smith prefers throwing to the slot guy vs throwing to the #2 WR in this offense. Get him Cooks in the 1st, because Beckham may not be there, and call it a day. Cooks could have the same amount of production as Kendall Wright from the slot in his rookie year. He's even faster and more explosive than Wright as well. He'll take advantage of all of the 1-on-1 off-coverage that McCluster failed to take advantage of.

You remember wrong. Was one of the best possession 3rd down receivers when Reid was in Philly with him.

It would be interesting to see some sort of 3rd down targets percentage.

Yeah I can't say I know a ton about his play in Philly. Seems like he had stone hands in college and dropped everything at the combine.

Avant actually started having a problem with drops in crucial situations. He made some insane grabs but also had mind-boggling drops.

I agree except Id be willing to over pay him a bit to keep him.

He's not a hard guy to replace...

yep ... we have to hope that Dorsey has gauged the market and knows he can get replacements cheaper and/or better.


Hope ...........

I've come to terms with the fact that we will almost definately NOT be drafting a wide receiver in the first. Think about this....
we sign Dressler. We keep Avery. We are 'interested' in Avant and Hester.....
we aren't drafting one. Free agency will tell what we are doing, and I would bet about anything that it will be a safety or a guard.

we aren't drafting a guard

Be gone, douche.

Although...who in the hell are the local media going to interview now?

Why do people think Dresser is making the team? There's a good chance he doesn't even make it to training camp.
Posted via Mobile Device

If we lose Asamoah and Schwartz, which we are?
.. the safety FA market is much better than the guards.
Could easily see us trading back to get 2 picks in the first 2-3 rounds to get one.

Avant stinks. He literally adds nothing that we don't already have.

This WR group needs a burner with hands in the worst way. 3 WRs who are very similar - Bowe, Avant and Hemmingway.

Jesus.

The best two teams in the league are dominate up front on offense and defense. I will never complain with drafting lineman early, nor surprised.

Jenkins has to step up.. I can't take the bait right now but with the rumors that they love him + Avant/Hester rumors and Dressler, it's a foregone conclusion we won't draft one.

Exactly.

That's why I want Desean Jackson. **** it. Make it work.

Cause the tape shows he can play and catch better than like 90% of the receivers we've had in the last 10 years. Youtube him if you feel otherwise.

ROFL

He's been playing in the CFL for a reason.

He's the definition of Training Camp Folk Hero.
