Chiefs Any decent free agents left? - Page 3

shammus · 08-02-2011, 08:54 PM

So we lost a few guys even just today that I think quite a few people were hoping we'd sign - Ryan Harris, Franklin, Warren, etc.. I scrounged to come up with a few names that are left at positions of need for us but there doesn't seem to be much left over that would help us out -

NT - Pat Williams? He's 38 but could at least be depth since all we have is Gregg and Powe

OT - Gaither, Max Starks, Flozell Adams, Bryant McKinnie? Most of these guys are either hurt or showed up to camp out of shape and were cut

ILB - Channing Crowder, Lofa Tatupu, Kirk Morrison. Crowder and Morrision would be quality signs...Tatupu was hurt and supposedly has lost a step.

OLB - Matt Roth. Close to signing with the Bears though....

DE - Drawing a blank here....Warren was the last guy I thought would make an impact

WR - Still some quality with Malcolm Floyd, Mike Williams and Braylon Edwards. Not sure WR is a large priority for us anymore

RB - Michael Bush and McClain are still out there I think. I'd take either to replace Thomas Jones.

That's it unless there's someone I'm overlooking? I think we're out of luck on any further Oline or Dline help. Still possible to get a decent middle linebacker unless we're standing pat after the Siler signing. Wouldn't mind picking up one of those two RBs either....

Thats what I saw anyway.

There was some of that, which speaks to coaching.
We saw some of that same problem on the other side with Albert.

I think depth at WR would be great.

I'm still holding out for Snelling.

That would be sweet, and i was kind of hoping they would pick up another RB, but it appears they are ok with Jones for another year. They would have already picked up another RB or drafted one higher if they were more concerned about the position.

Still need a backup safety in the worst way.

durtyrute · 08-03-2011, 07:28 AM

Why do people keep saying McClain, why do we need another back

Because the last half of the season Thomas Jones was driving on a flat, with low oil pressure, and in need of a new transmission.

because behind Charles we have nothing but worn out tires and midget wanna-be's...

Is Locklear still available? He was the highest rated RT for pass blocking over at profootballfocus.

I still say give Battle a shot if T Ones falls off. ( that's the nickname I gave him last year) Plus we just drafted a guy and we have Small Stuff McGruff back there too. There are much bigger needs than another back

It's not like signing McClain would prevent KC from addressing other needs.

You wonder why people keep talking about McClain, and we keep wondering why the **** people keep talking about Battle. Battle is a hunk of crap. How do people not see that.

McClain > all of our option at FB and backup RB.

After 6 games, Jones is useless.

Battle and McNuggett were useless the moment the ink dried on their contracts, which is far more credit they they deserve for usefulness.
