Last minute run on a free agent? - Page 3

booger · 04-11-2008, 09:54 PM

Been pondering this for awhile now.

The 18th is the last day for teams to sign RFA's to offer sheets. Not sure but i think the same holds true for franchise and transition Fa's.

I wonder if we make a run for Max Starks to play RT. He has the transition tag like Tait did a few years back. No compensation needed. Just a hefty contract they won't match.

He is coming off his rookie contract and only 26.

Could give us more flexibility at #5 and beyond in the draft.

To all the nay sayers I say this:

When Leonard Davis was available, I and a few others wanted the Chiefs to go after him. Most of you had your usual negative comments, ranging from cynical to downright nasty, describing him as a no good bust. Guess what. The Cowboys signed him; figured out how to use him and sent him to ProBowl. I say if Starks is reasonably priced lets go after him. We have more than one hole in the O-line to try to fit him into.

Brilliant strategy for a team that is rebuilding.

Spend $49M on a guy who is going to turn 30 in Spetember.

A guy who's never been successful without talent around him. He wouldn't have that luxury in KC, just like he didn't have it in Arizona, where interestingly enough, he sucked.

A guy who will be gone by the time this team is any good.

Damn, people are impatient. For the first time in over 20 years, they are trying to build a team the RIGHT way, and people are bitching, wanting them to sign any FA OLmen they can just to fill some holes NOW.

Exactly. Svitek has had PLENTY of opportunities, and failed in every one of them.

1- What part of "if... reasonable price" did you not understand in my post?

2- Your post is confusing. Are you talking about Stark or Davis?

I really think being a backup is his ceiling.

I watched every game. He stunk at LT, he stunk at RT.

The guy is a scab who received some unnecessary hype because he played well against 5th stringers in the World League.

Signing Davis would have been a stupid thing to do. Signing Starks less so, but still dumb. You would have to overpay greatly to have gotten either one.

we only sign Nobodies that are hurt like BJ Sams-so if there are players out there that have missed a few years because of knee problems-they might be in our cross hairs

i think we are all hoping that Herman edwards can change that part.

let Edwards draft for a couple of years ... fire everyone

let a new GM and a new Head coach come in with the recently drafted talent and try to do something.

Confusing?

80% of your post was about Leonard Davis. Who do you think I'm talking about?

We only signed B.J. Sams because Carl couldn't agree on a contract with Gale Sayers.

From your post:
"A guy who will be gone by the time this team is any good."

"Will" suggests Stark whom we may or may not bring in IN THE FUTURE. "Would" would have suggested Davis whom we could have brought in IN THE PAST.
