Chiefs Agree with Harris
Chiefs agree to terms with free-agent LB Harris
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star The Chiefs and unrestricted free agent linebacker Napoleon Harris agreed to terms this morning on a six-year contract. Financial details were unavailable. Some still were being finalized. The Chiefs plan to use Harris, a five-year NFL veteran with the Raiders and Vikings, as their starting middle linebacker. He would replace Kawika Mitchell, an unrestricted free agent. The Chiefs may try to re-sign Mitchell, who has yet to make any free-agent visits. The Chiefs were discussing whether to move Mitchell to outside linebacker even before they signed Harris. The 6-feet-2, 255-pound Harris was Oakland’s first-round draft pick in 2002. He went to the Vikings in the trade that sent Randy Moss to Oakland. He visited with Tampa Bay before arriving for his visit in Kansas City. For more on this story, see Wednesday’s editions of Sports Daily. |

He's quicker and should be an improvement as a cover 2 Mike.
....If he only had some DTs to keep the Guard's off of him. |

Excellent move. Look forward to seeing how he is at middle in Cover 2.
Now, do we resign Mitchell and put him outside, or bring Donnie Edwards back for his curtain call? |

I have a feeling we are going to bring back Edwards. He and TG might want to ride off into the sunset together. I would be happy with either tho...

I am surprised we got it done. I hope this kid can turn around his career.

Well, they led the league in run defense last year, so that's always a good thing if you're a MLB. And he played for Tomlin, who coached the Tampa scheme. Guess he fits. Can't be any worse than Kawika was last year.
Of course, this is where FA LB's come to die.

Just a thought, why didn't we go after Brian Simmons? He only had a salary of 3.3 this year, probably got Harris because he was cheaper

Just FYI, not sure if anyone realizes because a lot of comments imply otherwise, but Harris played in a cover-2 defense last year. I'm about to dig up some Viking fan comments from the actual season (so there's bitter-type comments) and I'll post some thoughts, both for and against him.
