Pat Surtain: 2005-2009
 

http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/24/chie...n-who-is-next/

I remember exactly where I was when I first got the news we traded for him. I was so excited because I thought he was one of the final pieces to the puzzle. Boy was I wrong.

He was pretty awful, and I'm glad he's gone.

Another aging veteran that CP handed over a draft pick for, along with the richest contract in franchise history at the time.

The defining moment for Surtain was when he was basically running in quick sand after that INT during the Chargers game.

Surtain played pretty well for the majority of his time here. He wasnt "awful" until last season.

yep, me too

He will not be missed.

Another terrible Carl failure.

Surtain made an ABSURD amount of money as a Chief.

He didn't come close to living up to his contract.

Maybe if the bastard hadn't dropped an interception in Dallas the 2005 Chiefs would have won the Super Bowl.

Instead he played like a corner without a $14 million dollar signing bonus.

Man. I can't say I'm sorry to see him go.

Surtain didn't just lose a step, he misplaced the whole damn ladder.

How awesome is that? If we release Donnie Edwards after this then we'll have added almost $11 million to our salary cap.

Decent, but we we're a day late and a dollar short. Surtain could have learned a thing or two from Hasty about giving your all. Surtain got soft and it's time for someone hungry to make a name for themselves in his place.

You obviously have a different view of "pretty well" than I do.

I didnt say he lived up to his contract, I said he played pretty well the majority of the time he was here. I guess anyone would have looked good to me after getting used to Eric Warfield, William Burntee, and Dexter Mccleon...

Good riddance.

Yep. I also remember him getting injured week 1 vs the jets and thinking, "oh nooes, there goes our season"

I'd say he had one good season, one average season, and one shitty season.

I don't think that qualifies as "pretty well."

Players the Chiefs could have drafted in 2005 instead of Pat Slowtain:

Mike Nugent (could have solved our kicker problem)
Khalif Barnes (could have solved our RT problem)
Roscoe Parrish (could have solved our KR problem)
Darrent Williams (younger and faster than Surtain, less-apt to get murdered in Kansas City)
Vincent Jackson (jesus christ, imagine VJ next to Bowe)

I could go on about several players picked in the third round, but in short, **** you Carl. One last time!

Surtain was exposed when he didn't have the Miami pass rush to help him.

Didn't he drop a game winning pick 6 in the Dallas game in 05 that would have got us in the playoffs?

We were taken by the mid 2000's Dolphins
the mid 2000's
ughhhhhhhh

The salary cap space doesn't really matter since we are probably at the minimum required anyways.

Good riddance though he never lived up to his billing

they're going to actually have to work at spending it all

True dat.

I am surtain that Donnie sails in to the sunset this year. It was a dumb ass move to being him back anyway. He was a good assist-player back in the day, but he was never a game changer.

Surtain's savings is huge-that's ALOT of money to sign a PREMIER FA with, plus the rest of our cap space, possibly cut Edwards... We can sign ANYBODY we want this year, if we so choose. Bring on FA.

Haha..
Love the monday morning QBing that goes on in this website.
Every player is either HOF worthy or sucks. Every pickup is the dumbest shit ever... 4 years after it happens.

Surtain was at least an above average corner up till last season, that's the truth. Also every person on this site was absolutely ecstatic when got him in free agency, mostly because he was one of the best FAs on the market and but also because Carl played hard ball and got him for less than the Dolphins wanted.

Reading this thread now though, yeah you guys all knew better. Sure.

None of us knew better, that's the point.

Carl was as dumb as the rest of us mother****ers.

And that's why he's gone.

Chiefs cut 4 players: Surtain, Edwards, Huard and Merritt
 

I know we have the Surtain thread.

http://www.kcchiefs.com/news/2009/02..._transactions/

The Kansas City Chiefs announced four transactions on Tuesday. The club terminated the contracts of three vested veterans: LB Donnie Edwards, QB Damon Huard and CB Patrick Surtain. The Chiefs also waived TE Michael Merritt.

NOT HUARD
NOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOO

Also....

NO MORE HUTARD!!! :clap:

I just put this same thing under surtain's thread

We need to release a runningback so Edwards has a ride out of town.

Sorry to see Donnie go, but it is definitely time. The other 3 are no brainers.

They can be merged.....

Merritt. That was a draft pick well spent. Here's to hoping Pioli gets off the "wasting picks on TEs" train.

this thread title
is FAR to important
to merge

Brodie is being kept
how long

A 7th round flyer pick is not that big of a deal.

Somewhere Hootie is sobbing..

Thank God we never have to see Hutard curl up in the fetal position and take a sack again. This made my day.

KCnut will be MOST displeased....


Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chandler Bing-lookin' mother****er.

Guess I'm using this for the last time.

I imagine that it has just as much to do with his recent off the field trouble.

Not to concerned with a seventh round whiff.

GoChiefs is working
on the highlight film

Wow. I would say they've done some good evaluating so far. Nice job!

You cant really crush a man when he’s laid up in the hospital

Probably through training camp.

I guess I would have liked to see how well Merritt could block. Would be nice to have a Jason Dunn part deux.

no shit....i have always said that ROFL

KCNUT
is Donnie Edwards
I thought everyone knew

Who will help me carry him.

This.


Sweet Virginia; NO MORE Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaard! Thank God.

Yea, we can't go through the off-season without at least having a few players there. I'm positive we are looking to replace Croyle, but we have nothing to lose by at least giving him one more shot. Croyle might hang on to being our number 3 QB.

I wonder how much more cap space the 4 of them will make?

Kansas City Chiefs, as expected, have parted ways with veteran cornerback Patrick Surtain.

The move, as reported by Adam Schefter of NFL Network, frees up $6.18 million in cap space.

Next up could be linebacker Donnie Edwards; cutting him would create $4.5 million in 2009 cap room.

Given the team’s existing cap surplus, new G.M. Scott Pioli will have plenty of money to spend, if he so chooses, when free agency launches.

there is 2 of them.....that should put us close to $50 mil under right?

Since I'm sure people will be lining up to rip into Huard, let me be the first not to.

Huard was a terrific back-up. He shouldn't have been a starter. And if he had a good offensive line, I think he could have been a pretty effective QB.

I wish him nothing but the best. He was the definition of class when Trent Green came back. He never once complained when Brodie took his job. From what I know, he never hesitated to help a young QB out.

He deserves to be cut, but I appreciate his contribution to the Chiefs. I don't feel that same way about Surtain.

He's in league with Lucifer;
BURRRRRRRRNNN HIM!!!!!

What? I'm glad that Hutard is gone. I've never seen one guy go out multiple times....throw an INT for a TD and then be injured so he didn't have to play. Good ****ing riddance.

Huard????


ON NO! WE'RE DOOOOMED!!!!

Huard should have retired a year earlier
but was handsomely paid -fair game

Huard should have NEVER been penciled as the starter. NEVER.

I found this tidbit from USA Today...

Also granted is the fact Huard is paid well for his services. He signed a three-year contract in 2007 that will average $2.5 million per season.

Huard in KC won't catch near the flak
Favre in NY will
and rightfully so

Ha-ha...Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!

ROFL

Awesome.

He was getting clocked because our offensive line was a swinging gate--Trent Green also went from borderline pro bowler to ineffective behind the same line. And he got injured because he was getting knocked on his ass way more often than a QB should.

Not to mention that he was a backup QB thrown into a starting role--he was never supposed to be a guy who could lead your team to the playoffs. He was supposed to be a veteran who came off the bench and helped the team get a win or two when your starter is out for some period of time. Huard played that role admirably.

I don't understand why Chiefs' fans have become so ridiculously brutal to their own players. It's not like Surtain, who came in, made a shitload of money, and was expected to be a difference maker. Huard was supposed to be a backup and he played that role very well.

dead weight...

Goatse, Damon Huard tribute video, NOW!

Youtube took it down remember?

AMERICA!

**** YEAH!


love it

Guess the Edwards departure all but locks up the Curry selection.

We'll have to think about Sanchez in the 4th.

Yep

Is that for Huard or Croyle? :D

HE WAS A SOLDIER OF ROME.

HONOR HIM.

Does anyone know about how much cap space we are going to have?

ROFL

Huard's release is good, and necessary, but I never got off on hating him. He sure picked a bad time to join the team.

Good moves all around. :thumb:

He always had a good release. Part of his outstanding game.

Yes he WAS elusive against the rush at times. Not a scrambler, but a sneaky move in the pocket type QB.

HOF? Maybe.

Awesome. Bye Huard.

Damn, you must have had other outlets for your rage on Sunday.

Croyle was always in a cast, so he didn't get enough air time for me to cuss him, but every time Huard took the fetal, look the **** out...

LMAOROFLLMAOROFL

Enough to sign any FA(s) in the league and outbid any team that also covets said FA(s).
