Some teams have an amount of money they aren't going over for a kicker...

Actually alot of teams, I know the Pats do this, allocate a certain amount of money for each position determining which ones they feel are more valuable than others and they will not exceed it.

Josh Brown wants to come to KC to be reunited with Jean-Philippe Darche......

I'd like to see the Chiefs pursue alot of the under tier guys...

Calvin Pace is one guy I like in particular..along with the other guys I've talked about in the past.

Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole suggests that the Chiefs will make a "big run" at free agent kicker Josh Brown.

The Chiefs' kicking situation has been a source of frustration since Herm Edwards took over in 2006. Brown figures to get Adam Vinatieri-like money.

Hope we do get this guy, he should be top FA priority...esp with our lame duck O and relying on the FG game

He plays WILL?

I've always viewed him as a DE.

Josh Brown would be fine, I still think they should get Bryant Johnson, Jacob Bell, and Calvin Pace in here right away. I don't think any of them would break the bank and they'd be great additions.

That's why I like him, he's a LB/DE hybrid, he can do both. He would bring the versatility, he's not as talented as say drafting Gholston but he can bring alot of the same stuff. He also has experience playing LB so he could legit play pure LB at times.

Johnson first. This year or the year after, doesn't matter, we have no one to block for or catch passes from a young QB...

I think Bell is gonna get PAID.

The Johnson and Pace would probably be more our price.

Then again, it's really hard to tell. There's always rampant overspending in FA.

Somehow Arizonas receivers are productive without much of a line...Johnsons only 26 and still has a top of upside he is far from peaked.

I just don't think you pass on guys because you don't have something else.

Fine a guard then, I don't think they're gonna be able to draft 2 starting Guards and a OT so they're gonna have to sign one if they move Waters.

No, I agree with you regarding signing a guard, I just think Bell will be one of the most sought after OL on the market.

That's why I mentioned Justin Smiley. Coming off an injury, probably on the cheap.

In part I agree.

You don't pass on a Johnson in free agency with our needs.

You DO pass on him in the draft with our needs.

People immediately think draft pick = cheaper salary, but that's not true. It's sure as hell not true at 5...

Well that depends......if this was last years draft and the Chiefs had a chance to draft Calvin Johnson..I'd do it in a second.

We just need better players regardless of position.

Well, I don't think we're "letting him go" Hopefully he'll stay, but we franchised trufant so we couldn't franchise brown like we did last year.

We'll offer him at least top 3 kicker money, but holmy wont break the bank on a kicker.. He's not a big fan of kickers, he thinks they're weird..

We do miss Darche though.. Did he stay healthy? When we released him there were huge concerns about his shoulder..

He is the best long snapper I have ever seen..
