Chiefs the ULTIMATE Jon Runyan thread. (Runyan in KC for a workout...) - Page 21

MMXcalibur · 05:08 PM

This thread is a combination of the following 3 threads...

AUSTINCHIEF- *************************************
ok, I have mentioned before that I would love to see Runyan in KC...

I decided to start my own thread about it... because... well... I can.

So, here are my reasons why...

#1 all the obvious reasons... he is a pro bowler, proven player, definite upgrade, etc etc

#2 another fairly obvious one... Ndukwe would be better used at RG and this would let him move there.

#3 now we get to the good stuff... ON THE FIELD he is a nasty, mean, dirty S.O.B.

#4 OFF THE FIELD, he is a stand up guy, nice etc...

IF he can give us 2 solid years, he is well worth the investment until we can groom someone to replace him... MOST IMPORTANTLY he sets a perfect example of what our linemen of the future should aspire to be.

Runyan is ready to roll

As the regular season approaches, a guy who has been on the field every Sunday since 1997 still doesn't have a job.

But, by all indications, he will soon.

Per a league source, tackle Jon Runyan has been cleared to play after offseason microfracture surgery to repair an injured knee.

We're told that three teams are interested in Runyan. According to the source, Runyan rejected an opportunity to sign a contract last week because he didn't want to play for the team in question.

Oakland Raiders? We're looking at you.

Given the rule that guarantees a vested veteran's salary if he's on the Week One roster, look for Runyan to do a deal after the first games are played.

But if there are multiple teams in the mix, the one that's willing to step up and sign him now could be the one to get him.

Except for the Raiders.

I imagine we're one of the three teams that are interested, but were we the one team Runyan told to "**** off."?

No Shawn Andrews in Philly

Posted by Mike Florio on September 11, 2009 12:05 PM ET
Reports are coming in, Twitter-style, regarding the status of Eagles right tackle Shawn Andrews,

Per guys like Sheil Kapadia of philly.com and Adam Caplan of Scout.com, Andrews is not at practice on Friday. He also missed practice Thursday, due to his ongoing back problems.

The development likely means that Andrews won't play Sunday at Carolina.

And maybe it means that the Eagles will get Jon Runyan signed in time for kickoff.

dumb Faders-nobody wants to play there

I know it had been widely reported that Runyan was in town, but Pioli did confirm that in his interview on 810 this morning. Also cut off a question about making the roster better in the next few weeks and said "absolutely".

Do you mean AGAIN or just when he was in KC for the workout?

No, he's been in KC one time. That was what had been widely reported and believed to be true. I was just confirming that straight from Scott Pioli's own interview this AM.

tonyetony · 09-15-2009, 03:25 AM

Bump

Looks like Winston Justice played well enough that we have a decent chance of being his main option now.

It seems like, if we are interested, we would sign him in the next 24 hours. I guess we'll find out soon.

carlos3652 · 09-15-2009, 06:07 AM

Okay gang, he will sign in the next 48 hrs. The deal is done. Signed - Pioli, Hartwell and Shanahan.

Runyan has another visit to make

Posted by Mike Florio on September 15, 2009 10:14 AM ET
The placement of Eagles right tackle Shawn Andrews on injured reserve has sparked obvious, and thus rampant, speculation that long-time fixture Jon Runyan will be rejoining the team.

Per a league source, however, Runyan will be making no decisions until after making at least one more visit.

Runyan, who had offseason microfracture surgery, already has visited the Chiefs and the Bills, and Runyan has worked out for the Eagles.

There also has been no negotiation to date between the Eagles and Runyan on a possible contract. Of course, that could change quickly.

Another option could be veteran Damion McIntosh, who as we reported last night is visiting the Seahawks today.

Marco Polo · 09-15-2009, 10:12 AM

Please let them sign McIntosh and we get Runyan. Please!

Mr. Laz · 09-16-2009, 10:16 AM

Well ... it might 1 of 3 things.

1. Runyan's workout sucked so nobody is interested.
2. Runyan is asking for crazy money
3. Runyan already knows where he wants to go and is just trying to market a price for that team.

Doesn't look good for Runyan becoming a chief.

Combination of #1 and #2 IMO.

Follow up from PFT says the Eagles aren't planning to sign him right now:

Quote:

According to Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Eagles are reportedly so impressed with right tackle Winston Justice's play that they do not feel the need to sign free agent Jon Runyan at this point.

yashi · 09-16-2009, 12:28 PM

You know, by process of elimination we seem to be the obvious favorites to sign Runyan.

- He's not going to sign with a team unless he will be starting. The Eagles are happy with Justice's play and have no intention of signing him now.
- He's strictly a right tackle. Buffalo fans seem to be saying that their RT is fine, but they'd be worried if he had to slide to LT. (hint: maybe they shouldn't have cut their starting LT days before week 1)
- Ndukwe's natural position is G, and he could easily take over for Goff or back him up, opening a spot for Runyan to start.
