Chiefs are another possibility for fullback Vonta Leach, per source. No visit scheduled yet at this time.

I just can't see Leach going anywhere but Houston.

They didn't re-sign him last time they had the chance.
Why would they now?
Doesn't seem like hes wanting to take a pay cut.
In other words, he's going to the highest bidder. Period.

Well if we sign him he's not gonna come cheap and remember we still have to have money to sign Fisher.

we have plenty of slapdicks we can cut.

Even if he does go to Houston, that means they would cut Greg Jones, another top FB.

Nope Gary Kubiak said they would keep both. But he didn't sound like he was going to sign Leach.

and if we sign Leach that's basically what we would be giving up for him, so it's a wash regardless.

But the point is the efforts the Chiefs made in throwing numbers at the FB positions through draft pick, trades, UDFA, etc. You'd think they were exploring all options and knew a team like the Ravens were trying to dump the best FB in the league

Exactly.

That would be the dirtiest goalline package of all time

@espn_afcwest: Chiefs hold initial talks with Vonta Leach http://t.co/fHv3f8n9vw

Ok...

John Dorsey was the scout who helped bring Vonta Leach to the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 2004.

So it is natural to think Dorsey, now the general manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, could have some interest in the fullback now that he is a free agent. The Baltimore Ravens cut Leach this week and has now been linked to the Chiefs and Broncos.

Leach's agent, Ralph Vitolo, said he talked to Dorsey this week and has not talked to the Broncos. Vitolo said Dorsey was “non-committal” but said perhaps the team could interest in Leach at some point. The Chiefs have several young fullbacks and I can see Leach getting a look if the Chiefs want a veteran presence the position.

Pouring this many resources into the FB position, when our DL and WR collectively look like mexican vomit outside of about 3 guys, doesn't seem to be a great idea.

This teams only chance at winning more than half it's games (which would be a tall order) is to field an elite running game and to give Alex Smith forever in the pocket.

Leach would help us do both of those things. I'd gladly flush the other investments we have made at FB to add an all pro guy.

While they do seem to be moving in this direction and we've had this argument before, I'll believe an Andy Reid lead offense is a run first type offense, when I see it.

Let's not act like their valuable resources or anything. A 6th round pick, a trade for Arenas or a signing this late isn't going to bring us a difference maker on the DL.
