Chiefs FA: What's Left?

Micjones · 03-09-2009, 10:43 AM

(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.

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!

I dont know whats wrong with either of them, but I can tell you that you should definitely only have one.

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

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.

Or right guard?

ChiefRon · 03-09-2009, 10:51 AM

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.

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?

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.

Didnt the whole damn team struggle last year?

Maybe if was due to both the guards being down and the loss of their backup LT (in a most emotional and disturbing manner), Richar Collier.

Think of it as a similar case to that of Javon Walker when he needed to leave Denver for personal reasons. Maybe Barnes was ****ed in the head after that went down. They did play the same position, so it could be possible that he was friends with Collier, and just didnt have it in him last year to play after that.

The missing Guards had nothing to do with all of the false start penalties he racked up. Barnes would definitely be an upgrade. I just don't think he's the answer.
