Chiefs FA: What's Left?

I don't think we've even seen the "beginning" of FA moves for us.

Pioli & Clark have both alluded to being more active in FA, so I'm thinking maybe we just haven't quite started yet, I guess because of the "big-money" deals so far.

Here's the latest take from nfl.com

Kansas City Chiefs
The combination of a new GM and head coach usually spells lots of action in free agency, especially when the team has as much salary cap space as the Chiefs have in 2009. Scott Pioli knows his team has many needs, but he also is a master of waiting until the first wave of signings is over and prices settle down. No one will have a better feel for the hundreds of free agents still on the market.

As we all know, Pioli gave up the 34th overall pick in the draft to acquire Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel. He still has picks number three and 67 to parlay into more picks if he needs to. The Chiefs are starting to bring in free agents such as Bobby Engram, Keith Davis, Travis Daniels and Clark Haggans for visits. Those players fit the mold under which Pioli operated in New England. He's looking for bargains, and he is sure to find a few to bolster his roster depth and special teams.

I could see him being very active in the bottom-feeding business even after the draft. Also look for more trades with the Patriots and Dolphins.
