Who's Next?

Probably a half-dozen.
Three young guys and three or four stop-gap situations.
Rogers, Pouha, Franklin, Landri, Bunkley, Thomas.

Pouha resigned with the Jets. Out of those others, I'm not certain that some of them fit our scheme. Others, like Rogers might not even be an upgrade over Amon Gordon. I think for a NT, we're going to need to draft one - maybe Ta'amu in RD 2 or Josh Chapman in the 3rd?

There are a few positions though that we could still upgrade in FA. Still quite a few safeties out there. Last year at safety, our depth consisted of Sabby and McGraw. Bringing in Atogwe or Bullitt gives our depth quite a significant upgrade.

Seems like there's a ton of middle linebackers and running backs out there as well. We could really improve our depth there affordably it seems. Winston signed for less than I thought he would so I think we've still got room under the cap to fit in a couple more free agents if we want them. It seems like we could bring in Green-Ellis, Tolbert, Bush or even Forsett cheaply. Given for what Hillis signed for and that there's seemingly a greater supply of backs than there is demand for them, we could probably nab one more back to rotate with Charles and Hillis.

Middle linebackers available include Hawthorne, McClain, Erin Henderson, Manny Lawson, etc... Any of which could give us depth at that position. Might not be the biggest position of need though since we have DJ and recently resigned Siler and Belcher for that position.

I like the idea of bringing in Schwartz though. When was his visit supposed to be? He could be a right guard for us or be solid depth at tackle. I know he and McNeill have been scheduled for a visit next week. Wonder if we'll keep those even with Winston signed.

As far as our scheduled visits go.... Marcus McNeill, Geoff Schwartz, Tolbert and Cotchery are all supposedly coming in. Cotchery makes a solid WR4 so I think I'd take any one of those guys actually.

[ChiefGator]

Geoff Schwartz would be a great, most likely inexpensive, pickup. I'm not sold on Lilja.

Still would like to see Tolbert don the Chief uniform.

And I think Cotchery would be an improvement at the #3 or #4 WR position. Which is a good thing.

[RealSNR]

I want Tolbert's huge cock raping defenses this year.

[okcchief]

Who else is Tolbert visiting?

A couple moves I wouldnt be against:

Sign Dan Koppen...he has always been a good center for NE, but missed last year with a broken leg. 32 years old, so good for a 2 year deal if still available after the draft.

Trade for Sammy Lee Hill...he was only tagged with the "original pick tender" which means we could send a 4th rounder to Detroit for him. 6'4'' and about 330 and a terrific run blocker. Only 25 years old.

Excellent idea.

I remember the Chiefs scouted Hill a few years back.
Hell, I'd send them a #3 for him.

Wasn't aware of Hill's status.

I'd sign him yesterday.

[The Franchise]

I've been calling for a trade for Hill for like the last ****ing 2 years. If they only tendered him for a 4th....I'd do it yesterday.

[BossChief]

I am begining to wonder if that is some unwritten rule amongst GMs or something.

You NEVER see teams trading for tagged players, no matter what tag is used.

Maybe Im forgetting some examples or something, but I really cant even think of a single time it happened.

Giving up a 4th rounder for a player like Hill would be a no brainer to me...

[bevischief]

who shits in woods?...

[farmerchief]

Let's sign Flynn, let him Cassel and Quinn fight it out for the starting job, cut the odd man out, and the remainder is our backup. With that in mind, draft BAP in first round, and concentrate on a QB of the future in next years draft, unless they will let Stanzi compete this year?

Flynn signed in Seattle.

Bummer, there goes my strategy! :-(

[BigRock]

Just something to keep in mind, but of that list, everyone but Wimbley and McNeill would harm the Chiefs' chances of getting a compensatory pick next year. And at the moment, they're probably looking at a pretty good one for Carr.
