Thats what thought too ... Damn who are we going to have at WR ....

Those guys are still around because the Chiefs have to keep someone who can do returns, Toomer can't do that.

What happened to Mark Bradley being our #2? I thought he had proven himself to be pretty capable last season.

Bradley is listed as a starter now...it's Bowe that's not.

It's all about Haley and his motivational tactics.

I can't see anyone but Bradley at the #2 spot when the season begins.

that sucks for Toomer, I thought he'd be productive for us. A solid run blocker too, weird.

I still think Bradley has a chance to be a solid #2 if he can stay healthy.

Same goes for Croyle

Toomer being gone shouldn't be a surprise to anyone

Same, but in a different way. In a perfect world, Croyle only sees the field once in a blue moon. That's what I'd call the perfect #2.

I like the way this WR group is shaking out. I was never a fan of Darling, and Toomer just didn't have much left in the tank. Lelie has shown the ability to get open, be it the second or third units playing, and looks to be the only legit deep threat on the roster. Lelie could have a big year.

Bradley, Lawrence and Engram should round out the other 3 spots. That gives KC three outside WR's, and two slot WR's, one being a developmental player in the return game.

Same here, a possession guy who can run block.

He never was fast, but he must've really lost a lot recently & he's not big enough to out body/get position on guys for the ball. I'll take Haleys judgement on it.

No one wanted Toomer, so cutting him means he will be available if we ever wanted him back (which I doubt). Copper, Lawrence and Wright have potential as KR and might be claimed by another team.

For this reason, amongst others, expect Engram to be cut in the next wave.

Who said that?

I didn't write that... I wrote that at the time of the Toomer signing Haley apparently couldn't count on Bowe to be his big body possession/YAC type wideout (I'm also not saying that is all Bowe is). Thus the signing of Toomer.

Think about everything Haley has done up this preseason. Now rewind back some 3 or so weeks and I get the feeling, knowing what we as fans now know about Haley, that it could be entirely pausible that Toomer might've even taken snaps from Bowe in the regular season, IF Bowe's practice habit and consistancy (or whatever it is that Haley didn't like) didn't improve.

That's why I still think Toomer's release has a little bit to do with Bowe's improvement.
