Who will be the FIRST Free Agent signed by KC?
 

The FA signing period begins in a little over 5 hours.

Who will be the first FA signed by the Chiefs?



I'm taking Justin Smiley, OG, San Francisco.

ty law

colquitt is the first one.

It's a safe bet it won't be JA...

Jacob Bell, G from Tennessee

Asante Samuel.

Faine, you heard it here first!

I'd be thrilled with that.

Smiley, Bell or Faine all sound good to me.

Shane Olivea?? Might make a nice RT or RG? :shrug:

Good call.

I'd faint and fall over.

The better question is when?

Probably 3 weeks from now when Carl gets back from vacation.

no shit.

Would be sweet. *SIGH*

And signing Faine makes no sense when we could take the only respectable player on our line and just force him to learn a new position he's not all that good at...:rolleyes:

Do I hate you because you typed that or because you're right?

Dammit Carl. :cuss:

jeff george :shrug:

He'd be cooler if he spelled his name 'Geoff George'

Damn you! That was going to be my call.

I honestly don't care as long as they can help this team.

Jacob Bell
Justin Smiley
Randall Gay
Drayton Florence
Bryant Johnson
Shane Olivea
Jeff Faine
Jake Scott
DJ Hackett

Or Geoff Jorje.

ROFL

I dont know why, but I actually laughed at that :(

Jake Scott

none, we are building for the future

You guys are kidding yourselves. It'll be some scrub who could barely make the practice squad of the Jets or Dolphins.

And we'll probably bring him in as a starter. :LOL:

I really don't know, but I can't say I'm too worried about it. I have complete and utter confidence in those making decisions for my beloved franchise. I'm quite certain that whomever it is, we can look forward to the next coming of Carlton Gray.

There are great FA options available.
You have to think we can get three of them.

At WR, G, and CB.

Right?
Right?

Hugh Douglas.

Javon Kearse and Randy Moss. Releasing all those old players was just a smokescreen. Youth be damned, we winning now!

Fuad Reveiz.

Best kicker name ever. Sounds like the unknown masked partner of Don Juan...

Colquitt.

David Carr

Add Isaac Bruce to the list. Might as well throw in Lorenzo Neal too.

Jerry Porter WR Oak

err nevermind didn't realize he was already 29 going on 30.

It will be some semi-no name cheap player. Big names take longer to sign. Drayton Florence still available?

Josh Brown.

This

And this.


And hopefully a little Bryant Johnson to go with it all. Those three, and I would be thrilled.

I want Brown, Bryant Johnson and Jeff Faine.

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.

This whole time I've been thinking of "I spell my first name like a girl" Kris Brown.

The guy who choked on every kick NOT against the Chiefs...

Dang! I like Brown..

ROFL

Everytime you're watching a game and Seattle needs a 50+ yard FG to win and the kicker drills it, THAT'S Josh Brown.

The guy is money, but would probably turn into a steaming pile of shit as soon as he stepped on the turf at Arrowhead.

I would hope so.

He single-handedly won you guys 5-6 games in 2006 with 50 yard bombs as time expired.

The Curse of Lowery lives!

Assuming they don't re-sign him in the next few hours, why is Seattle letting him go?

We already have a long snapper right? Since that position is filled, and we don't need a punter I don't think we'll be signing anyone until April.

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.

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..

There are too many ****ing Johnsons in here.

I'd take Bowe, easy.

This year we need O line, CB, DT, or a MLB.

There are no stud MLB's or CB's around us though so I'd go with Dorsey, Jake Long, or trade down...

Send Brown our way. Pleaaaaaaaaaaase. Darche did pretty well. Where he excelled was in coverage downfield. I don't think his snaps were as spot on as Gammons were, but he wasn't a liability in coverage.

I've heard that they discussed trading Trufant to the Giants...

Haven't you heard? Moving Watters to Center is stoopid. We all want Watt to stay at LG instead of moving his lame ass to Center where he could decimate Nose or Tackles...He's the most experienced lineman on the team but we would all rather have a rookie calling the protection because a few years ago, Watt had some trouble exchanging the ball after being converted from a TE/FB.

There is now way this punk has learned anything in the last 4 years.....

You must have spent some tape time because our coverage and blocking teams sucked IMHO...

Bowe had a nice year and all but there is no way on earth I'd take him over Calvin Johnson, his talent level is off the charts.

I didn't say the coverage wasn't atrocious, but he was the first one to the returner a few times, and it wasn't always 40 yards upfield. I think he did a nice job.

Hindsight is perfection.

Knowing what we need and the contract he'd signed I'd consider Bowe a steal.

Bowe had 70 rec, 995 yrds, and 5 TD's. Behind a dog$#it O line, with a dog$#it OC, and mostly dog$#it QB's.

Johnson had 48 rec, 756 yrds, 4 TD's. And this with Mike "Bow before Me" Martz and pretty good offense. Johnson also had many more damaging targets to take pressure off of him.

When you consider what Bowe had around him and what he accomplished it's nothing short of amazing.

And he'll be cheaper.

Johnson also proved to have a slight tear in his vag and get hurt after a hit

Sorry OnTheWarpath.....

Dolphins signed G Justin Smiley, formerly of the 49ers, to a five-year, $25 million contract. The deal included a $9 million signing bonus.

http://rotoworld.com/

Damn, that was quick.

Good signing for them.

Glad we're asleep at the wheel. Hell, Carl's probably in bed right now.

Exactly why I'm concerned about bringing guys in for "visits."

Gives another team time to make them an offer they can't refuse.

Just posted that in another thread, im kinda ticked that those gay fish signed him

We're asleep at the wheel because we didn't sign Justing Smiley in the first 45 minutes of free agency. LOL

He hurt his back....

Carl's probably on vacation it never fails that when FA starts he's never around...don't expect the Chiefs to sign much of anyone, that's their MO. They paid LJ a bunch last year and have a top 5 pick which will command a ton of money with Allens tag....

Don't expect much, I'm not.

Uh, feel free to be content with bringing guys in for "visits."

As pointed out earlier, all that does is leaves the window open for another team to make them an offer they can't refuse - and never get on a plane to KC.

The Dolphins obviously had Smiley targeted and got him - without bringing him in for a "visit."

There has been exactly ONE free agent signing reported in the entire NFL so far. Must be 31 other teams "asleep at the wheel."

No people just get mad because it's kind of typical for the Chiefs, something like Carl being on vacation when FA starts.

That's exactly it, and it was expected.

You can tell Parcells has taken over in Miami.

They targeted Smiley, offered him a pretty fair deal, before he could deal with anyone else.

Drew Rosenhaus talking now on NFL Network about how good franchises are targeting and signing guys quickly.......

You expected Smiley to get signed by the Dolphins? Weird. In your first post, you said the Chiefs were going to sign him.

He's saying the Dolphins are being proactive in getting players while the Chiefs are sitting on the pot twiddling their thumbs...
