Getting back on topic, is this guy the only signing we've had off the wire?

If so, we are dreadfully thin on the OL, and not much better off on the DL.

Although Chris Chambers last year wasn't too bad.

The Chiefs have a tendency to make those kind of picks out of mid-season desperation. It seems they almost never make necessary free agent picks in the off-season geared to preparing the team for the season beforehand. Instead of being active rebuilding the team they are almost always reactive. It is very very frustrating.

This. 09 was a great opportunity missed. A lot of folks blame the bad 09 draft on the fact that Pioli did not have his own scouts. If that were really the case, then (in retrospect of course) we would have done a hell of a lot better if he had traded all of the 09 draft picks to other teams for '10 picks. He could have almost fill all our holes in one ('10) draft.

I wonder if there is ANY GM in the NFL with balls to do something out of the box like that.

Damn.

Hope they aren't waiting until Week 2 so they don't have to guarantee salary.

Christ, the payroll is around $60M for the season. If there's someone out there they want, they should grab them no, instead of potentially being sniped by another team.

If there's not anyone else out there they want, Gold help us.

i can see your point.

one positive about the o line is that we have so many that can play multiple positions.

d line?? IDK

In most parts of life I am with you on that point. But fan is short for fanatic. Passion and feeling is a big ingredient in how we react to these things, as it should be.

True. Hopefully the con of being a fan doesn't bring your day down.

The "Clark Hunt is cheap" rap has to be gaining some momentum.

Again, this is a bad football team. 620 players were cut from other teams, and our scouts, who Pioli said last year attend every PS game, saw it fit to pick up 1 guy among those 620 cuts.

It's ****ing hilarious.

I was in New York in October 2008 for the Jets-Chiefs game.

I dropped some details about with whom I met and with whom I was sitting with at the game, and also happened to mention the opinion of other owners around the league in regards to Clark Hunt.

Cheap. No passion for football. Business.

From that point, ****ing Claythan starts attacking me, as did a few others (Dumb ****ing ****s, of course).

Fast forward to Opening Day, 2009. Chiefs payroll? $88 million.

SALARY CAP FLOOR.

**** you, Clay.

I'd like to see some research that supports the idea that being the vulture of the NFL is productive way to build a winning team. I'm not saying the research doesn't exist or that there are not players I'd like to see replace a certain 7 or 8 guys on the chiefs.... But it's a reach to really get upset about this. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see how a ton of Jamon Merediths help this team's future. I'm not against stop-gap salary casualties either, but we already have Thomas Jones

You are right that you won't build a Super Bowl winner on the backs of waiver wire pickups, but think about this:

Tony Richardson was waiver wire trash for this team, as were Brian Waters and Casey Wiegmann.

3 of the 11 guys on the best offense we ever had were guys that other teams released that we picked up. In Waters' and Richardson's case, they were shitcanned as rookies.
