Flowers
Carr
Leggett
Daniels
We could be set at CB for a long time.

Had to fix that roster order, and that accomplished; THIS.

Exsqeeze me? That's the only part of the 2008 defense that doesn't suck.

And wouldn't that just be a puke-tastic return to yesteryear!

Are Flowers and Carr both good 3-4 CB's?

Brandon Flowers is GOD and will leave this league on the same train as Tony Gonzales; that's all you need to know.

He'll most likely be our dime-back and special teams demon.

NFL history on Travis Daniels. Some of this you already knew but some of it was new for me and I thought might shed some light on what expectations might be for Daniels with the Chiefs.

Good size at 6'1", 195 lbs and a good athlete but not a speed burner. Teamed up with Corey Webster at LSU under Coach Nick Saben and formed one of the best tandems of cornerbacks in the country. At the LSU Pro Day, he ran a 4.55 and 4.57 forty but also had a 10'2" long jump and 37" vertical.

He was drafted in the 4th round by the Miami Dolphins by his former head coach from LSU, Nick Saben. His first year in the NFL was probably his best year with playing in 16 games and starting 14 of those games. That year he had 61 tackles, 13 PDs, and 1 interception. In 2005 it looked like Daniels would be one of the young players that Miami could build on, along with Channing Crowder and Ronnie Brown.

Then in 2006, Travis hurt his ankle in the preseason that caused him to miss the preseason as well as the beginning of the regular season. In game 6 he hurt his right knee. He tried wearing a knee brace but his play fell off with the previous ankle injury and knee injury and he only started 6 games and finished with 36 tackles, 1 PD and 1 interception for the season. In January, Travis had ankle surgery to repair his injured right ankle.

In 2007 the Dolphins switched head coaches. After Nick Saben left, the Dolphins went with Cam Cameron. Travis lost his starting CB job to Andre Goodman. The coaches under Cameron tried switching Daniels to a safety and he played both positions as the team needed. He had 5 starts and finished with 28 tackles, 4 PDs and 1 interception.

In the offseason the Miami Dolphins under went another change this time going with head coach Tony Sparano, GM Jeff Ireland, and VP Bill Parcells guiding the team. In April, Sparano had this to say about Travis Daniels, "Right now we're going to look at him as a corner, with the safeties we brought in. We know he has the ability to play two positions back there and on game day that's important. On game day you're looking for guys that can do more and Travis is a young player we feel can do a few things back there. He's one of those young guys we're excited about watching, but we're going to start him right now at corner". On August 20th the Dolphins traded Travis Daniels to the Cleveland Browns. This was a conditional draft pick that turned into a 7th round pick for 2009. With this late trade, Daniels was behind in learning a new defense and he sat for a while. 2008 was not a good year for Travis. He was on the Browns inactive list for week 10 and then was inactive from week 12 through week 17. He played in 7 games for the Browns but having only a total of 5 tackles. Three of these were on special teams.

As a free agent in 2009, three teams were reported to have interest in Travis Daniels, Patriots, Broncos, and Chiefs. The new head coach for Denver, Josh McDaniels, Bill Belichick, New England Patriots, and and new GM Scott Pioli, Kansas City Chiefs probably saw Travis play against them several times when New England would play Miami. The Chiefs signed Travis Daniels on March 10th, 2009. Current rostered DBs for the Kansas City Chiefs are Brandon Flowers, Brandon Carr, Maurice Leggett, David Macklin, Ricardo Colclough, Jarrad Page, Bernard Pollard, Dajuan Morgan, and recently re-signed Jon McGraw. The Chiefs signed him because he is young at 26 years old, has experience, and he gives the Chiefs flexibility at the DB position. Hopefully Kansas City will be able to see more of what Travis played like in 2005 and not what he played like in 2008.
