Last minute run on a free agent?

booger · 04-11-2008, 09:54 PM

Been pondering this for awhile now.

The 18th is the last day for teams to sign RFA's to offer sheets. Not sure but i think the same holds true for franchise and transition Fa's.

I wonder if we make a run for Max Starks to play RT. He has the transition tag like Tait did a few years back. No compensation needed. Just a hefty contract they won't match.

He is coming off his rookie contract and only 26.

Could give us more flexibility at #5 and beyond in the draft.

Started his all games as a second year and third year....as a Steeler, before missing action last year with an injury....I take it?

If that's accurate, he would become the 3rd best Offensive lineman on our team; why not (at least) make him an offer?

Or did Colon just take his spot?

No injury, lost his starting job to Trai Essex, i think that's who anyway.

Edit

Thought wrong: It was Willie Colon who beat him out.

I don't follow the Steelers closely....anyone know what the circumstances were? Did Essex or Colon wrestle the job from him....or was he injured?

Sweet... another young kid from the Steelers we can pay big money to.

We should sign him.... since Bell is gone, we no longer have an ex-steeler hogging up a major chunk of our salary cap and sucking balls while doing so.

Well, since you wanna go ahead and rain on my parade....and destroy any hope....vanquish any optimism that may show....it's hideously ugly face....to a Chief's fan, anyway...I can see your point.

Cancel my hopeful and optimistic perspective. Nevermind.

Not worth the gamble, probably not going to happen. The only thing I see happening prior to the draft might be a player for some other teams draft choice(s).

Does no one think the Chiefs might wait until June 2 cuts to fill some holes left after the draft? It would seem to make the most sense to me..

Sure they will "try." Heck though, the best I expect is that Herm will complain that, somehow, Tampa and Miami....violated NFL rules by negotiating with agents of players we had "targeted".....and they sign, before we can.

But that's like draggin' your 16 year old girl to the "Goodwill Thriftshop" one week before school starts....and expecting her to be 'happy' about it. Heh.

Perhaps I should have qualified that statement by saying it like this: To the Chiefs that would make the most sense.
Thank you for showing me my error!
