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.”

Guess I'll have to join you and quit using Kingless until he earns the title again ... but not willing to pledge til the end of the season!!!!

Great news!!!! As far as I'm concerned we have had a good draft. Now if we can pick up a quality player at #15 and maybe a punter and some players to grow into starter that will be a great draft. I think this is our only year... it's now or never and at least we got a solid chance at making it special!!!

Good Job Carl!!!

You only need a punter if you intend to have to punt. I'd appreciated a 80% defense draft. Punters can be found in FA.

Matt Jones can punt! If we take him in the 1st we can use him as a punter and a WR!

Amnorix · 04-22-2005, 11:44 AM

Good trade. Surtain is definitely worth it. He's a top notch CB, and he can both cover and tackle. Solid in run support.

But, of course, nobody can cover Moss 1:1, so don't expect to see that happening.

MOhillbilly · 04-22-2005, 11:48 AM

this makes me feel better,but i dont get nuts excited anymore.
reflections of past seasons being the reason.

HC_Chief · 04-22-2005, 11:49 AM

It's about *$&%ing time!!

Good to see dickface get something right, for once. I was pretty sure he'd screw the deal up. Perhaps Gunther kicked some sense into him?

BigChiefFan · 04-22-2005, 11:55 AM

Just wanted to chime in and say this is a great move for the Chiefs. He's one of the top corners in the game and brings instant credibility to the secondary. I'm glad carl sacked up and realized how good Surtain will be next year compared to our second roundr making an impact. Praise Carl for actually delivering on his promise this off-season. If feels damn good to know our FO actually made some moves to improve our team.

Hallelujah!!!!!!

**Rain Man** · 04-22-2005, 01:39 PM

Hey. This is good.

This is really good.

It's good above and beyond the trade itself, too, because now it clears us to take the best available player with the #15 pick. I'm hoping it'll be David Pollock, assuming that Rolle and Johnson are gone by that point.

This is great news, made my weekend.

Now if there was some way Ty Law would sign a low $ contract AND return to complete health, with us, it would make my year. Not gonna happen, he'll likely sign with the Sliver & Back.
