Don't know if there is a thread out already, but what F.A's should the Chiefs bring in to complete this team?

If KC keeps 4 DEs and 2 NT/DTs then you have Dorsey, Gillberry, Jackson, and Bailey at defensive ends and Powe and ??? at the NT position. Might be Smith or Edwards for that last defensive line spot. Between the two for NT position, which is the better player? If Powe does not play well in camp, then the Chiefs are looking for 2 NTs.

I simply dont see a case of Addition by Subtraction here, in my honest estimation Smith is a real football player.

We have Torribio in the mix & if theres a season, there should still be time for free agent signings of all kinds, almost surely no splash, but players that have a chance to contribute.

Getting rid of a real gamer, is not a plus in my book.

I agree that the Chiefs should try and bring back Shaun Smith but at a team friendly contract. He's a good football player and can play at DT or DE. If they do sign him, you have to look at the numbers and determine who goes. Many CPers would say Tyson Jackson, but I don't think Pioli would give up on a 3rd year 1st round draft pick. Wallace Gillberry may be in his last year with the Chiefs since he is a RFA. A 4 -3 team might be willing to make a trade for him and sign him to an extension. Allen Bailey would probably take over the role that Gillberry filled last season.

As only a 6th round pick, I don't think Powe has a guarantee of making the team. The one thing he has going in his favor, we have nobody else at NT. I'd like the Chiefs to sign CFA NT Ian Williams.

Back to the original point...I agree that KC should bring back Shaun Smith.

I'm curious.

Why Larry Wilson?

I came from a large Mid-West family. Larry Wilson was a family hero that when we played football we wanted to play like Larry. Before the Chiefs, there was the Bears or the St. Louis Cardinals.

Before the Chiefs?

Holy crap, and people around here think I'm old.

When the AFL first started it took a few years to convince NFL fans it was for real. I was not a fan to begin with. It seemed like the CFL.

You are only as old as you feel. Some days I feel pretty old and some days I feel like a young pup.

I grew up on the AFL.
