Chiefs The free agents we lost. - Page 5

Direckshun · 10-31-2014, 12:25 AM

The Chiefs lost eight starters (plus Quentin Demps) last offseason, and they were signed to over a combined $100 million in new contracts. Holy shit.

We gained several free agents this past season, and I don't know for how much, but I don't think it was for more than a combined $15m (Mays and Walker making up basically all of that).

How've they fared?

OT Brandon Albert, Dolphins -- has been excellent on the blind side in Miami
DE Tyson Jackson, Falcons -- yeah.
OG Jon Asamoah, Falcons -- he's been "okay"
OG Geoff Schwartz, Giants -- IR
WR Dexter McCluster, Titans -- "hasn't panned out to date," playing only 28% of snaps
CB Brandon Flowers, Chargers -- one of Chargers' best defenders, has struggled with injuries
S Kendrick Lewis, Texans -- has been considered a generally positive impact on the Texans' secondary, almost always on the field
ILB Akeem Jordan, Redskins -- IR
S Quentin Demps, Giants -- now their starting FS
K Ryan Succop, Titans -- 11/13 with a long of 47 yards

I'd still take McCluster at the right price.

He's nothing more than a role player though.

Yep. I was fine with all of these moves. There was no way we could afford to keep any of those guys for what they commanded on the market.

This next offseason is a completely different story.

Mother****erJones · 11-01-2014, 08:27 AM

And yet people were mad and scared because lost these guys.

Tyson Jackson isnt a starter. He barely gets playing time. That's the problem

Even with the charges reduced to just basically a traffic violation?

Jackson only has 6 tackles and 9 ast.

With the exception of Brandon Albert and Ryan Succop, the Chiefs didn't suffer any other crucial losses in free agency this year. Sure, I wished they kept McCluster, but DAT has proven to be the perfect replacement as Kick Returner. Kendrick Lewis was garbage when he played with the Chiefs. It would be a surprise if he actually played better with another team.
