Chiefs trade for Miami cornerback Surtain

By ADAM TEICHER

The Kansas City Star

The Chiefs finally got their man.

They completed the trade they worked on for almost three months, bringing veteran cornerback Patrick Surtain from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a second-round pick in this weekend's draft.

Chiefs coach Dick Vermeil said the clubs also will exchange fifth-round draft picks this year.

“I think it's ideal,” Vermeil said. “If you want to get better on defense, having players with his ability make it a lot easier. We've just got ourselves a good cover corner, a proven big-time player.”

The Chiefs and Surtain had previously agreed to the parameters of a seven-year contract, but terms of the trade with Miami needed to be worked out. The Chiefs had offered their fourth-round pick, but the Dolphins insisted on obtaining the second-round choice.

The Chiefs didn't want to part with the pick, but believed in the end that acquiring the two-time Pro Bowler Surtain was a necessary step in upgrading their defense.

“He's a quality player,” Vermeil said. “We could not have drafted a player in the second round who could make the kind of immediate impact on our defense that he will.”

Yes I know, so I very carefully first weighed its value, then the risk and concluded it was a sacrifice I was willing to make for what I strongly feel is for the betterment of all those in Chief-fan-dom.

Listen....you can hear the collective sigh of relief all over the Planet!!!

Frazod · 04-22-2005, 10:14 AM

THANK GOD.

But still, here's a residual

to Carl for dicking around with this until almost the last possible minute. Considering how grueling a typical Chiefs game is, must the offseason be a high blood pressure-inducing pain in the ass, too?

I really didn't see any way CP would get this done. I'll say this, he had me buffaloed on the interview this week. In a poker game, He'd have caught me going all in with my 1010s

now.........will they draft at 15, or trade down to re-aquire a 2nd rounder?

How far down WOULD they have to trade to pick up a 2nd?

My guess is that if there is not a quality Tight End available at 15, they will trade down.
