Chiefs agree to terms with free-agent LB Harris
By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs and unrestricted free agent linebacker Napoleon Harris agreed to terms this morning on a six-year contract.

Financial details were unavailable. Some still were being finalized.

The Chiefs plan to use Harris, a five-year NFL veteran with the Raiders and Vikings, as their starting middle linebacker. He would replace Kawika Mitchell, an unrestricted free agent.

The Chiefs may try to re-sign Mitchell, who has yet to make any free-agent visits. The Chiefs were discussing whether to move Mitchell to outside linebacker even before they signed Harris.

The 6-feet-2, 255-pound Harris was Oakland’s first-round draft pick in 2002. He went to the Vikings in the trade that sent Randy Moss to Oakland.

He visited with Tampa Bay before arriving for his visit in Kansas City.

I hope we do look into Ian Scott, believe he could really help our interior D. Add him to Harris/McIntosh, and we are setup nicely for Draft Day.

Harris is a good signing for our scheme, a nice upgrade. Same for McIntosh, another upgrade. We're not talkin Pro-Bowlers here, but we're not in the market for Pro-Bowlers, and we just got a bit better.

Now, move Pollard to WLB (yes, WLB, DJ plays the strong side), and we've got a fine LB corp! Sammy's good for 1 more year, playing alongside Page.

Wilkerson is RFA, we've offered him a restricted tender already.

I do believe Fox WAS , taking over for Johnson led the team in 2 of the 4 games in tackles. I believe against the Dolphins and Browns ...both were losses but none the less he also had equal or better stats then Bell..... I wouldn't mind seeing Fox , Harris , Johnson...... Young descent LB core with good talent for the Cover 2. I of course wouldn't mind Edwards back but I think if we are going young Fox is the way to go (despite the injuries).

Keyaron Fox 52 44.0 8 1 0
Kendrell Bell 49 43.0 6 1 0

Thats left to right Total Tackles , Tackles , Assists , Sacks , Fumble Recovery. Not bad for someone who sat on the bench.

I don't like the idea of moving Pollard to LB. I think Pollard and Page could be our starting SS/FS for quite some time. I know Pollard isn't the fastest, but he plays faster than he is, and can hit like a truck. Put him at SS, and let him grow.

And that's a f***ing shame.

Good pickup with the K-state lineman, but Harris sucked at Minnesota and the Faid. He's a step below Mitchell, but you had to get someone to take his place.

Hammock Parties · 03-06-2007, 03:24 PM

There's no way he's "a step below" Kawhiffa.
