This list should clear up some misunderstandings about what can or can't be fixed this off season. As Dane has stated a billion times the pickings are slim.Alot of ex chiefs . The comments within the list are not mine but the authors.

Running backs
Chris Brown, Kevin Faulk, Ahman Green, Verron Haynes, Edgerrin James, Willie Parker, Adrian Peterson (not that AP), Aaron Stecker, Chester Taylor.

Wide receivers
Arnaz Battle, Marty Booker, Antonio Bryant, Nate Burleson, Tim Carter, Chris Chambers, Antonio Chatman, Terrance Copper, Bobby Engram, Brian Finneran, Mike Furrey, Greg Lewis, Brandon Lloyd, Derrick Mason, Shaun McDonald, Sean Morey, Muhsin Muhammad, Kassim Osgood, Terrell Owens, Josh Reed, David Tyree, Bobby Wade, Kevin Walter, Kelley Washington, Ernest Wilford.

Tight ends
Anthony Becht, Dan Campbell, Alge Crumpler, Darnell Dinkins, Casey Fitzsimmons, Michael Gaines, Ben Hartsock, Will Heller, Reggie Kelly, David Martin, Randy McMichael, Billy Miller, Sean Ryan, L.J. Smith, Benjamin Watson, Kris Wilson, Todd Yoder

Fullbacks
Justin Griffith, Jeremi Johnson, Dan Kreider, Brandon Manumaleuna, Tony Richardson, Terrelle Smith.

Tackles
Chad Clifton, Mike Gandy, Brandon Gorin, Cornell Green, Artis Hicks, Jon Jansen, Levi Jones, Scott Kooistra, Damion McIntosh, Tony Pashos, Ephraim Salaam, Barry Sims, Mark Tauscher, Langston Walker, Mike Williams

Guards
Eugene Amano, Jeremy Bridges, Damion Cook, Kynan Forney, Rex Hadnot, Ben Hamilton, Russ Hochstein, Montrae Holland, Stephen Neal, Chester Pitts, Tutan Reyes, Ryan Tucker, Keydrick Vincent, Bobbie Williams, Billy Yates.

Centers
Nick Leckey, Kevin Mawae, Seth McKinney, Dennis Norman, Wade Smith, John Wade

Defensive ends
Jason Babin, Alfonso Boone, Tyler Brayton, Phillip Daniels, Ryan Denney, Nick Eason, Dwan Edwards, Jarvis Green, James Hall, Reggie Hayward, Vonnie Holliday, Jevon Kearse, Travis Kirschke, Leonard Little, Adewale Ogunleye, Julius Peppers, Cory Redding, Richard Seymour, Kyle Vanden Bosch, Jimmy Wilkerson, Renaldo Wynn.

Defensive tackles
I don’t know anyone in the league who doesn't expect the Patriots to franchise or extend Vince Wilfork, the cream of the defensive tackle crop. So we might as well take him off the list.
Justin Bannan, Kendrick Clancy, Marques Douglas, Jason Ferguson, Aubrayo Franklin, Casey Hampton, Tank Johnson, Jimmy Kennedy, Ryan Pickett, Fred Robbins, Bryan Robinson, Ian Scott, Kenny Smith, Hollis Thomas, Vince Wilfork, Jeff Zgonina.

Linebackers
Linebacker has a few stars, most notably Karlos Dansby. Again, I foresee the Cardinals getting a deal done with him and not just letting him walk. Aaron Kampman has not been a great fit as a 3-4 linebacker but could make an impact elsewhere.

Tully Banta-Cain, Bertrand Berry, Gary Brackett, Keith Bulluck, Derrick Burgess, Khary Campbell, Brandon Chillar, Vinny Ciurciu, Danny Clark, Angelo Crowell, Karlos Dansby, Chris Draft, Larry Foote, Ryan Fowler, Scott Fujita, Tony Gilbert, Nick Greisen, Larry Izzo, Aaron Kampman, Paris Lenon, D.D. Lewis, Darrell McClover, Chike Okeafor, Junior Seau, Jason Taylor, Chaun Thompson, Pisa Tinoisamoa, Jeremiah Trotter, Jeff Ulbrich, Mike Vrabel, Tracy White, Matt Wilhelm, Sam Williams, Jamie Winborn.

Cornerbacks
The defensive backs are not nearly as strong. Leigh Bodden has been a good fit with the Patriots and he's another guy who may receive a new deal from his current club. Dunta Robinson tried to get a guarantee from the Texans not to franchise him again. Most of the rest have been barely hanging on, and age is particularly critical at these positions. Many have been cut recently already, and are nickel guys at best.

Dre' Bly, Leigh Bodden, Ralph Brown, Demarcus bundle of sticksgins, Travis Fisher, Nick Harper, Walt Harris, Anthony Henry, Roderick Hood, William James, Nate Jones, Ken Lucas, Hank Poteat, Keiwan Ratliff, Dunta Robinson, Allen Rossum, Benny Sapp, DeShea Townsend, Frank Walker, Dante Wesley, Brian Williams.

Safeties
Among the safeties, Ryan Clark is a heavy hitter who is having another strong year for the Steelers. He'd have options with several clubs. But with Tyrone Carter, the Steelers' quality third safety, also able to hit the market, I’d expect the Steelers to keep one of them around. Jermaine Phillips would be a good addition to some teams, but the full list is not glamorous.

Will Allen, Mike Brown, Tyrone Carter, Ryan Clark, Nick Ferguson, Todd Johnson, Sean Jones, Kevin Kaesviharn, Ty Law, Marquand Manuel, Lawyer Milloy, Donnie Nickey, Jermaine Phillips, Pierson Prioleau, Mark Roman, Brian Russell, Bryan Scott, Darren Sharper, Matt Ware, Roy Williams.

Kickers
The list of kickers isn't bad, but no one is getting paid huge money from this group.

John Carney, Jay Feely, Shayne Graham, Sebastian Janikowski, Olindo Mare, Neil Rackers, Jeff Reed, Matt Stover.

So there you have it. The full monty. Again, we’ll see guys not on this list cut in order to shed payroll, and some will surely catch on quickly elsewhere and make an impact. But this list in and of itself is a strong indicator of just how restrictive the uncapped year really is, and who benefits most from it. The idea that a Dan Snyder or Jerry Jones could assemble a mega-roster if unbound by the shackles of the cap; the idea you could buy a championship in one March and alter the fortunes of your franchise for the near and long term ... not too likely. At the most critical positions there is precious little open for sale, and another reason why players should fear what no cap means in 2010, more than celebrate it.

I would be happy with that haul.

RippedmyFlesh · 12-31-2009, 01:21 AM

Not much oline help at all.

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 01:44 AM

If they get by the franchise or transition tag the best group of players to help the Chiefs is at the NT position. Casey Hampton, Vince Wilfork, and Aubrayo Franklin could all help. If Hampton and Wilfork are too expensive, Franklin subbing with Ron Edwards could improve the NT position for the Chiefs.

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 02:01 AM

RG Stephen Neal from New England is 33 but if we are unable to draft a guard, he might be good signing.
http://profootballfocus.com/by_posit...=25&numgames=1 has Neal as the 2nd best guard in the NFL this year.

He fits the former New England player requirement…

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 02:09 AM

I'd like to see us keep Wade Smith. He fills in at center and guard and does a better job than our regular starters.

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 02:22 AM

Alge Crumpler is ranked as the 10th best TE by http://profootballfocus.com/by_posit...=25&numgames=1

Not sure I would rank him that high but he is 32 and can still block and catch the ball.

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 02:28 AM

With no salary cap in 2010, any player that is any good will probably be expensive.

Wilson8 · 12-31-2009, 03:09 AM

Seeing this list of free agents, I’d like the Chiefs to sign a NT (Franklin), G (Neal), and TE (Crumpler).

I’d then like to see them draft a safety (Berry), wide receiver/punt returner (Shipley or Ford), center (Tennant), running back (Gerhart or Hardesty), tackle (Young or Beadles), linebacker, linebacker, and linebacker.

Sorry if this sounds too much like Voyager, but I at least put a little reasoning into it…

Wilson8, your reasoning is sound and logical.
