Chiefs promote Stallings (G) to active roster and

add QB to practice squad:

G TRE STALLINGS PROMOTED TO 53-MAN ROSTER, GREENE ADDED TO PS



Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Thursday that the club has agreed to terms of a three-year contract with G Tre Stallings, adding him to the club’s 53-man roster from the practice squad. Per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available. In addition, Kansas City added QB David Greene to the practice squad.



Stallings (6-3, 315) originally joined the Chiefs as the first of their two sixth-round picks (186th overall) in the 2006 NFL Draft. He was on Kansas City’s 53-man roster during the entire 2006 campaign, but was inactive for all 16 contests. He attended training camp with the Chiefs in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the season. Stallings joined the club’s practice squad on October 3rd.

Stallings started 48 consecutive games at Ole Miss, drawing 29 starting assignments at left tackle and 19 at right tackle. His 48 starts tie him with G/T Marcus Johnson for the most in Rebels history. Stallings prepped at South Pike High School in Magnolia, Mississippi.



Greene (6-3, 226) originally entered the NFL as the first of Seattle’s two third-round picks (85th overall) in the 2005 NFL Draft and served as the club’s third quarterback for 16 regular season contests and three postseason games, including Super Bowl XL. He was inactive for 12 games in 2006 as the Seahawks third quarterback and saw duty as the Seattle’s back-up quarterback for four contests. Greene attended training camp with the Seahawks in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He joined New England’s practice squad on September 19th before being released on November 20th.

Greene started an NCAA-record 52 consecutive games at the University of Georgia, becoming the winningest quarterback in NCAA Division I history with 42 career victories, surpassing QB Peyton Manning’s record of 39. He prepped at South Gwinnett High School in Snellville, Georgia.

I would say Cutler has been a success to this point. He is right about where Palmer and Leinart were in their 1st year of starting.

Jay Cutler.

Though IMO, the jury's still way out on this one.

It'd be great if Stallings can show-and-prove.
That would make the Offensive Line overhaul one (more) player shorter.

I think Niswanger will take over at Center.

If Tre Stallings, Svitek and Herb Taylor play well in the last month, the coaches at Arrowhead have some major egg on their face. Matsko/Solari should be fired over it.
