FA: What's Left?
 

(FB) Leonard Weaver, 26
(DE) Mike Wright, 27
(DT) Shaun Cody, 26
(LB) Marques Harris, 27
(CB) Leigh Bodden, 27
(KR/PR) Justin Miller, 25

I'd take four of them without blinking.
Wright, Weaver, Harris, and Miller. Justin Miller as a pure returnman could be just what this Special Teams needs. He's dangerous and can provide a much needed spark there.

I'd love to have Weaver... Especially if LJ's going to stay (I think he will).
A good young FB like that can help resurrect him. And Matt Cassel's going to need a solid running game to succeed.

I'm not much of a fan of Shaun Cody, but he could figure in if we do switch over to the 3-4.

Bodden's some kind of CB. We've got two young guys I'm extremely satisfied with, but if they just wanted to get better there...Bodden could help.

The Chiefs still have too many holes to try addressing them all in Free Agency. We're still going to need depth at several positions.

What's wrong with Mike Cox?

Khalif Barnes is still out there. Wouldn't mind seeing him at RT.

I'm surprised we haven't targeted Mike Wright. Seems to fit the mold of what we're going after...

Then again, maybe we have. :)

Barnes was terribly ineffective last year.
He was a turnstyle in pass protection.
He's better than what we have there, but still not very good.

Ya I didn't really see much of him. Any chance it was a situation like Tamba's, where he could be fine on the other side but can't compete against the elite talent on that one? Did he usually get beat by speed or pass-rush moves?

your wife said it's too small....


HEY, OH!

(/rimshot)

Mike Cox played a damn fine year at the FB position IMHO, I can't see why they would try to replace him.

How'd Bodden do, guys?

agreed.
I am satisfied with Mike Cox. He was a rookie last year, he is still developing... or do fullbacks not get the opportunity to grow and mature.

stand up Mike Cox! Stand Up Mike Cox!

Mark Tauscher is still available too, if healthy he would be upgrade...

:Lin:

:Lin:

Could it be Pioli is waiting for the second round of FA in a few months? I think more quality per dollar will be available when good teams dump overstock players with some talent.

Not sure what happened with Barnes.
He was a stud his rookie year.

He really struggled last year. Gave up a bunch of sacks.
I think the speed rush is what he struggles most with.

Tauscher blew out his knee late in the year.
I'm wondering if he'll be ready by the time the season opens.

AND... He's 31.

Not sure about that one.
