Chiefs FA: What's Left? - Page 3

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.

Mike Cox was basically only good at catching the ball out of the backfield he wasn't that great of a blocker like a T-rich or Laurenzo Neal. I'd sign Heath Evans he's much better then Mike Cox why? Because he can do it all thats the Patriots way.

Don't worry about anything Dane says. He has a habit of showing how smart he is by insulting people who have different opinions than him. The trademark of a true genius.

I wouldn't be shocked if they went that route, knowing that they own Cassel's rights for 2 years.

Cassel helps them compete until the new guy is ready. And if for some reason Cassel turns into Tom Brady v.2, then you have some trade bait.

Believe my friend, BELIEVE!

It could be argued that all they've done thus far is sign scrubs. I'm not sure I'd consider that "building a roster."

I'm just wondering why they haven't considered any of the 2nd contract players who would be obvious upgrades at their respective positions.

Because the team is rebuilding they will wait to sign guys after the draft when they have a better idea of what the roster will look like. Who all did the Dolphins sign last year? There biggest signing wasn't even signed til the pre-season.

Me too. I thought there would be much more activity at this point. I'm really hoping for some o-line help. Lord knows we need all we can get.

This makes sense.

If those players are even still available then.

I'd think that the Draft would be simpler if you had a couple guys in place who could start or at least compete for starting jobs before April.

I'd rather have fewer positions to look at once I'm on the clock.

Are you completely delusional or do you just appear that way on the internets?

He thinks everybody on the team sucks.

I was very disappointed when Ray Willis re-signed in Seattle.
That guy would've been our Day 1 starter at Right Tackle.

When your team only wins 6 games in 2 seasons its probably because your team doesn't have alot of talent.

I agree but maybe Pioli thinks theres guys in the draft that could do just a good of a job or maybe they want to give the rookies from last year another season to see what they have before they sign guys.

Cox was also a rookie. I'm not saying he will be great, but who knew T-Rich was going to be great? I think I saw enough raw talent in MC that I can not dismiss him the way you do.

Hard to envision a rookie outplaying Ray Willis anytime soon.
I think this guy is young enough to give you plenty of service time...
And you can draft a Right Tackle in April if there's one you're fond of.
That way the rook's not under pressure to produce right away.

Make it simple.

Find guys who can contribute and sign them.
Even with the draft we don't have enough picks to fill holes AND add depth.

Which is why I advocated keeping players like Babin and Boiman.

I think Cox is going to be a good FB. Our O-line was so bad, there wasn't much he could do about it. He seems to be a head cracker. I don't think he's the problem at all though.

And you could have also had one of the worst Coach/GM combos in all of professional sports.
