We Have Our First Member Of The Chiefs Practice Squad
The Kansas City Chiefs will start filling out their practice squad today and we know of one name that will be on it -- OT David Mims. The Virginia Union offensive tackle will become the first known member of the Chiefs 2011 practice squad.
He signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent and went through training camp with the team over the last month. The first thing that jumps out at you is his size -- 6'8" and 330 pounds -- and he looks every bit of it. He and OT Butch Lewis were two undrafted free agent offensive tackles that were competing for a spot. I figured one of those two guys would make the 53-man roster but neither did. It's possible Lewis joins the practice squad, too. The waiver wire was over at 11:00 a.m. (Arrowhead Time) today so we should start hearing a little more about the Chiefs practice squad. They can put eight players on there, which will be compromised of young guys that went through camp with the team or other players around the league that were waived this week. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2011/9...practice-squad |

I don't know the exact rules, but there's a certain number of years and games played that he hasn't exceeded yet.
I just don't think he offers any value.

WHY?! Never saw him do ANYTHING but drop the ball. PERIOD. In the 3rd preseason game alone, he dropped at least 3-4 of Stanzi's perfectly placed balls and even batted one up in the air to give Stanzi an INT. Verran Tucker has OODLES more upside than Horne. Horne. Plain. Sucks.

He didn't show he belonged in the UFL, much less any part of the NFL.

the good news is there is no way Quinten Lawrence will be eligible for the practice squad next year and there is no way he will ever make the final 53.
i hope some team plucks him off our practice squad at this point |

He flashed quite a bit for a guy who'd been playing CB for a matter of weeks. He might be serviceable enough to be our 5th corner next year, especially if he can contribute on special teams. Daniels is 29, wonder if they plan on him moving down the road? |

Lawrence must have nasty pics of Pioli or something. They switched him to defense and then kept him on the PS.
Why? |

Bair. They'll stash him away until teams have established their practice squads. More likely to clear waivers.
