Keep an eye on the Kansas City Chiefs amid the NFL maneuvering this off-season. The Lions certainly will.

"They keep wanting to dump players," defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said late last season. "I would like to be there to catch a lot of them, because I know a couple of those guys."
Cunningham was the Chiefs' defensive coordinator in 2004-08. Toward the end of his tenure, he bemoaned coaching so many young players as the Chiefs struggled.
But now some of those young players are older, and they might be available because they don't fit the new defensive system the Chiefs introduced.
"Some of those young kids I coached, I really believed they were going to be good players, and I know I'm right about that," Cunningham said. "Now what's happened there is the same thing in any organization. A new guy comes in, and they decide to go to the 3-4 defense when the structure of the personnel was built for the 4-3."
The Lions already acquired Turk McBride off waivers last season. The Chiefs' former regime drafted McBride in the second round in 2007 to play on the defensive line. The new regime tried to move him to outside linebacker, but it didn't work.
Who could be next? One candidate is safety DaJuan Morgan, a third-round pick in 2008. Another is defensive lineman Glenn Dorsey, the fifth overall pick in '08, though the Chiefs likely would want a lot in a trade.

Wow. Now there are three guys vying for old Chief players, all of whom announced this in the same week! This last Gunther will have to wait.

It'll be like the waivers process.

He has Rich, Boomer and Kawika on the phone right now for a conference call. Word is this may be for some Delmas, Peterson and 9 other LBs package that will set NFL offenses back at least a decade.

Why are we still supposed to be so facinated with what Gunther thinks or wants? Who gives a sh*t??

RJ · 02-15-2010, 07:01 PM

Gunther is tenacious.

Consistent1 · 02-15-2010, 07:08 PM

Gunther ****ing rules. It was time for someone to just finally get it out there so we can all admit it.
