Chiefs signed DT Bennie Logan, formerly of the Eagles, to a one-year contract.
Logan's addition means free agent Dontari Poe is likely to walk. Logan can slide right in at nose tackle. He's a downgrade, but not a particularly steep one. The move could end up being a wash for Kansas City, one that saves money. |

He's a run stuffer. We got gashed on the ground this year.
This makes a ton of sense.

Also, his back isn't always ****ed up. So while a slight downgrade in terms of upside compared to Poe, the risk for injury is significantly reduced.
Oh, and we aren't breaking the bank.

Tremendous signing by the Chiefs. He isn't a big name, but he is a very good player. He is stout vs the run and gets the occasion push in the passing game. He is technically sound and was a cornerstone of our defensive line. Many players on the line said he was the "glue guy" who made it all work.
He will be a very solid addition to the Chiefs. He's a really really good guy to boot. Class act. We'll miss him in Philly!

I think as fans we have a bit of a blind spot to him because we remember when he was great and the shit he does on offense is fun. But the more I read, the more you have to conclude that he was a fairly substantial part of the problem last year. Dude's back injury really wrecked him. His multi-city tour seems to suggest same. He's clearly not getting the offers he wants and he's going to keep bouncing around and trying to drum up interest. It wouldn't surprise me to see him end up somewhere on a 1-year deal, have that back flare up on him and slowly fade away. If he could get something like 4/$32 with at least half of that guaranteed, he may be wise to jump on it. It's looking like his decline was pretty fierce.

He's a solid run stuffer which we badly need and this draft is weak in that regard.
We play nickel like 60% of the time so I don't imagine we'll need him to play too many snaps.

I am expecting this to be an upgrade to Poe. The truth is, as DJLN eluded to, Poe is coasting on name value right now. This isn't like Sean Smith last year where the guy was good as he left. Poe hasn't been very good the past two years at all, a lot of it probably due to the back.
I hope to see Sutton use a steady rotation up front with Jones, Bailey, Logan, Howard and RNR. Don't overload those big guys. Keep them fresh all season and healthy. |

A young devito type player?
And yeah, I think we all collectively overrated the **** out of Poe. |

Same age as Poe, no back issues and less pass rush.
