Chiefs Mike Sims-Walker to be free agent - Page 3

Wilson8 · 03-04-2011, 06:55 AM

I thought the Jaguars would make every effort to keep him. It looks like he is going to hit free agency though.

One year ago at this time Jason Hill was a disappointing third-round draft pick coming off a nine-catch season in San Francisco. Mike Sims-Walker was a rising star coming off 869 yards and seven scores.

A lot can change in a year.

The Jaguars agreed to a two-year contract with Hill on Thursday evening, according to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union. Hill was cut by the 49ers last year and wound up gaining 233 yards in his final four games in Jacksonville as a deep threat. He would ideally be a third receiver next year.
Meanwhile, Ganguli reports the Jaguars told Sims-Walker they were moving on.

“Its official, I personally wanna thank all the fans who stuck with me in jacksonville for the last 4 years but sorry to say my time is up!!” Sims Walker wrote on Twitter.

Sims-Walker struggled with injuries early in his career, and there are questions about his maturity. With that said, he’s a very talented deep threat that has shown the ability to produce. He’ll be one of the most intriguing wideout names available when free agency eventually hits.

Coming into the 2007 NFL draft he was 6’2”, 209 lbs and ran the 40 in 4.35. He was a third round pick out of Central Florida.

Add another name for a FA WR for the Chiefs to look at. Maybe two if you count Stuckey.

Brandon Jackson, James Jones, Chansi Stuckey among those non-tendered

There won’t be any transactions in the NFL during the next week, but a few of t week’s moves continue to slowly leak out. Or non-moves in this case.

Here’s a quick round-up of notable players we learned were not tendered contracts as restricted free agents, making them unrestricted free agents when the new CBA is reached. (A few other notable non-tenders are right here.)

Packers running back Brandon Jackson: Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports the Packers only placed tenders on guard Daryn Colledge, kicker Mason Crosby, and fullback John Kuhn.

Not placing one on third-down back Brandon Jackson is a bit of a surprise because the team is expected to try to bring him back. With that said, Ryan Grant and James Starks are clearly ahead of him in Green Bay.

Packers wide receiver James Jones: It’s hard to imagine the Packers paying the type of money it will require to retain Jones. We think someone will give him a nice deal as a potential starter. Safety Atari Bigby was also not tendered a contract.

Browns wide receiver Chansi Stuckey: Non-tendering Stuckey is a bit of a surprise because he led the Browns wide receivers with 40 catches last year. Not placing a tender on him may just be a recognition they don’t want to sign Stuckey long-term. The Browns need to get faster on the edges; Stuckey plays the slot.

No he wasn't. Mike Thomas was.

I'd take James Jones over MSW.... cheaper and higher upside.

Wilson8 · 03-05-2011, 11:05 AM

It wasn't really a question of money in keeping Mike Sims-Walker for another year. The Jaguars could have tendered him just like the Chiefs did with Carr, Richardson, and Gilberry. It seems they could have given him a lowest qualifying RFA offer and at least gotten something if he signed elsewhere. Jacksonville made the decision to move on without him. Would be interesting to know how much of that was because of his play on the field and how much was based other things.

chop · 03-05-2011, 11:14 AM

I wouldn't mind James Jones and MSW.

chiefzilla1501 · 03-05-2011, 12:03 PM

James Jones would be nice. My biggest concern is, I have a feeling some receivers in Green Bay are going to be found to be good not great receivers who are made to look great because of their QB.

mcaj22 · 03-05-2011, 12:43 PM

James Jones would be wonderful, he has upside, is young and is a proven winner/good locker room guy.

How he doesnt fit the "right 53" Pioli profile is beyond my brain comprehension.

Deberg_1990 · 03-05-2011, 12:46 PM

Sims Walker or James Jones would be pure Win if they came aboard because they would be instantly the #2 WR on the team. No clue why Pioli wouldnt want either...

Best games by Chiefs wide receivers not named Dwayne Bowe in 2010:

3 catches, 69 yards - Midget (all three of these catches were out of the backfield, pathetic)
5 catches, 55 yards - Copper
3 catches, 42 yards - Chambers
5 catches, 41 yards - Midget
1 catch, 38 yards - Tucker
4 catches, 36 yards - Chambers
3 catches, 33 yards - Chambers

That's it for 30+ yard games.

Both? Oh no, then we would get to close to the Packers offense and all the reports of Haley going towards a run power O wouldn't be true.

Hell yes, I would take both!

Just cause they are way better than anything we got now.

DTLB58 · 03-05-2011, 02:17 PM

Should be interesting to see how many and which FA WR's come to KC based on what they saw Bowe go through with Haley.

Any of them that are even a bit lazy and just wanna slid buy just showing up and collecting a check should know not to come to KC. This could include MSW.

If I remember right over the last 2 season it seems he had a lot of minor injuries that kept him out or always a game time decision. Just didn't come across as a tough guy or always giving his all. Just saying, if the Jags are giving up on this guy.....unless Haley can inspire him?

I'm worried about "Sims" in his name.
