Chiefs trade for Miami cornerback Surtain

By ADAM TEICHER

The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs finally got their man.

They completed the trade they worked on for almost three months, bringing veteran cornerback Patrick Surtain from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a second-round pick in this weekend's draft.

Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said the clubs also will exchange fifth-round draft picks this year.

“I think it's ideal,” Vermeil said. “If you want to get better on defense, having players with his ability make it a lot easier. We've just got ourselves a good cover corner, a proven big-time player.”

The Chiefs and Surtain had previously agreed to the parameters of a seven-year contract, but terms of the trade with Miami needed to be worked out. The Chiefs had offered their fourth-round pick, but the Dolphins insisted on obtaining the second-round choice.

The Chiefs didn't want to part with the pick, but believed in the end that acquiring the two-time Pro Bowler Surtain was a necessary step in upgrading their defense.

“He's a quality player,” Vermeil said. “We could not have drafted a player in the second round who could make the kind of immediate impact on our defense that he will.”

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I heard this at work today on ESPN and the people I work with thought i had lost my mind.

Carl,IMO had to do it for the 2nd.After the dumbass texans gave up a 2nd and 3rd for Buchanon and The jets gave up a first for Jolley.No way the dolphins took a 4th for Surtain.

Another perk for trading the 2nd round pick is that Surtain will not be missing training camp.

Well, well, well.
Carl finally did it.

I'll give him props for getting this done, and for the earlier signings of Bell and Knight.

Now it's up to Carl to make the right moves in the draft tomorrow to continue the defensive upgrades.

This really gives us options tomorrow.

Carl still doesn't get a pass, though.
He ain't won nuthin' yet.
He does have the boat sailing in the right direction.
