He was a good deep threat. Very Donnie Avery-like. Don't count on him being the answer though.

Joe Morgan - WR - Free Agent
Free agent WR Joe Morgan is visiting the Chiefs.
The Saints surprisingly failed to tender Morgan as a restricted free agent, and it's hard to imagine them re-signing him now after ponying up $9 million a year to Jairus Byrd. New Orleans was already in very tough salary cap condition. Morgan is a 26-year-old vertical stretcher with 4.38/4.40 wheels.

This ****ing sucks.

I would definitely take him over Avant.

Upgraded Avery, I'll take it.

Bargain bin it is

Camp fodder. Hopefully..

this guy is coming off an ACL injury that sidelined him all of '13

fart noise.

Guarantee you he will make the roster over Dressler. I'd much rather sign Joe Morgan than bring in Avant.

God knows players never overcome those.

Signed,

Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles

In what way? Avery is miles better than that guy. Shit even Jenkins might be better.

That's why you bring him in and take a good look.

If he checks out, this could be a good signing...but tbh I'd rather just wait and draft 2 receivers.

This may be the best receiver class in draft history.

Amani Toomer

Bobby Ingram

Donnie Avery

Now Joe Morgan lol

Joe Morgan > Avant...

In saying that.... I hope to God neither of them end up in KC.... We need to draft a WR.

Joe Morgan
Career Stats:
10 receptions
379 yards
37.9 average

yup. Very similar build to Avery and AJ Jenkins. He is fast, but not necessarily explosive.

Since he is coming off an ACL, he will probably take a 1yr "prove it" contract.

yup

League minimum with incentives.

Low risk, high reward is how I see it.

Does the spirit of King Carl just come on perfectly good GMs when they sit in his chair? We've lost 5 guys the first day and signed....?

you really just compared Joe ****ing Morgan to Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles? lol

Joe Morgan is probably more Tony Moeaki than he is two of the top 100 players in the NFL.

I suppose that is insane unless we're talking about their stature as players instead of their ability to rebound from a similar injury.

They are two different receivers. Why not bring them both in.

And the reason you sign these receivers is because instead of committing massive dollars into a washed out veteran, you can give these guys 1-2 year contracts and either the veteran has to prove it or a rookie steps up.

If the guy is cheap, then go for it. Avery is completely unreliable, and Jenkins has been shaky too.

worth bringing him in for a look....if he is recovered from surgery he could be a viable weapon...why not?

Always looking for that diamond in the rough

Camp fodder. Works for me.

Sounds a lot like last year bargain WR, bargain LB. Always shopping at the $5 bin.

Avery is almost 30 and the burner he has is in decline. I'd rather get Morgan, who's basically the same deep threat, but younger and with more potential a shot.

Draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th and pray for a Dressler type guy to break out, that's the choice for this year... not conceding defeat as anything can happen, but right now its kinda looking like an in house stalemate.

Blame the offensive lack of production before we even start, I'm gonna go ahead and blame the defense, nothing new just hoping for some draft picks to wake up... its hard to have faith in that.

Not even ONE big signing on either side of the ball this year?

How about Hali, Houston, Berry, and Flowers start playing up to their reputations on a more consistent basis? That'll help a whole lot.

The Chiefs?

Most of those guys have a weakness or two, worth keeping... but still, teams know what to do against them.

Hali can be beaten by a strong tackle with quick feet who can shuffle his feet without crossing them.

Flowers can be beaten by double moves that require a stop and restart to game speed, not to mention height against a 6 foot and above player.

Berry is a proven stud in close but has also proven beatable against the pass against tight ends and bigger receivers on the outside... that MAY be fixable with a weight drop and reschooling in technique.

In the end, there is a buttload of WHAT IFS going on right now, to even maintain what we had last year several of these what ifs will have to step up in a big way... its a very risky strategy.

Next big Star article from the premier voice of the staff (if there is one)... "Chiefs Will Look Inward For Improvement in 2014".

I'm not totally down on things, but this regimes guesses better be close to right to avoid a huge sophomore slump... KC fans are TIRED of "new regime/cap realities" excuses.

MAKE IT WORK... just do it.

at first glance I read it as "Joe Rogan".

lol. No shit.

LMAO

Last season was a taste of what this staff is capable of doing with a 2-14 team. This season is the enema. Deal with it.

Yes, because Berry and Houston haven't been playing up to their reputations. :rolleyes:

You truly are a stupid mother****er.

This

This guy can play would be a nice addition

You can't stop this

If they can sign him at the minimum why not.

With our schedule this season, a sophomore slump is more likely than not.:(

Bet you anything he's our #1 reciever this year. The guy is fast and has good hands.

ROFL

After watching the vid, I say bring him in. Looks like he's got good hands and he's physical. Loved him owning those 3 Bucs.

LMAO

Dude has some serious wheels.

He's a deep threat.

But you have dink and dunk Alex Smith.

You don't need him.

the more things change the more they stay the same. This will be a typical let down season following a successful one. This article is getting us ready for it...same old Chiefs. ROFL

Alex's arm is stronger than Brees at this point. He'll be fine.

That 75 yd TD to Avery was dink and dunk huh? Smith wasn't dinking and dunking against Indy

You know you've hit rock bottom when your big FA prospect's YouTube highlight reel is the same 5 plays from 10 different angles. The first two minutes of it is Drew Brees jumping around and waving. LMAO

Camp challenge.

Chiefs visiting with a WR who Saints fans at @SaintsCSC wanted to keep http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2014/3...-morgan-saints …

Who?

There's not that much film on him he's never made it through a full season due to injuries and drinking and driving issues.

That should be your concern.

Saints know what they are doing.

Arm strength isn't that much of a factor for the deep ball. Rivers and Brees have below average to average arms (average at best) but they chuck it deep all the time--usually underthrown where their 6'5 receivers stop, turn around, and then win the jump ball.

Yup, comes down to how much they trust their guys. Smith was starting to show that trust in Bowe. Hopefully Bowe can come back faster and quicker next season.

Agreed. Purely from the few highlights I've seen, I like what I see. The injuries and off the field issues are a problem.

Very Avery like

Dude can fly though.

I worked a game in Houston where the Saints played the Texans during preseason.

Him and Chase Daniel hooked up on a 80 yard td route hit in stride and the Texans were like WTF?

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-h...touchdown-pass

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-presea...8-yards-for-TD

When he turns it on he is GONE.

The kid isn't afraid to sacrifice the body and lay it out there....I like that.
