[stricken721]

Keep:

Jovan Belcher

Dwayne Bowe

Brandon Carr

Travis Daniels

Wallace Gilberry

Le'Ron McClain

Jon McGraw

Kyle Orton

Casey Weigmann (Not as a starter and only if he doesn't retire).

[Jrudi]

LB Jovan Belcher (RFA)
WR Dwayne Bowe (UFA) Franchise Tag
CB Brandon Carr (UFA) (1st priority)
DB Travis Daniels (UFA)
DE Wallace Gilberry (UFA) (Our 1 pass rush DE outside of Bailey, we need him back)
DL Amon Gordon (UFA) (Best season of his career, sign him back for 2 years)
S Reshard Langford (ERFA) (Has shown promise as a young Saftey for depth)
FB Le’Ron McClain (UFA) (Would be nice to have FB set for a few years like we did which T-Rich was here)
S Jon McGraw (UFA) (Need to add another dynamic safety that will take ****scatelli's roster spot, but McGraw is good for leadership and depth)
TE Leonard Pope (UFA)
WR Jerheme Urban (UFA)

are my list of keepers...

Weiggmann probably retires (Although I think it's safe to say Hudson might have the starting C job locked up.)

As for TE We have Moeaki (if he can stay healthy, and Pope is a good blocking TE, the rest of the TE's we have tried out like Becth and Oconnell just havent worked out. I think we look to add a young TE in the draft or thought FA.

NT I think will be taken over by a combo of Gordon, Powe and potentially a 1st-3rd round pick so Gregg is expendable.

Let go
RB Jackie Battle (UFA)
TE Anthony Becht (UFA)

RB Thomas Jones (UFA)
S Jon McGraw (UFA)
OT Ryan O’Callaghan (UFA)
TE Jake O’Connell (RFA)
QB Tyler Palko (ERFA)
S Sabby Piscitelli (UFA)
C Casey Wiegmann (UFA)

I will add that these two lists are the players I would try and sign before free agency begins. Some of them I would look to replace in either free agency or the draft. I would look to bounce guys like Langford, Pope and Urban before training camp, but as a safety net would look to have them around just in case.

That's who I'd keep. Yeah, I'm saying Sabby. At least into camp, and let him fight for a spot. He's not supposed to be an every down, cover-like-paint kind of guy: he's a nickle, extra body, and when you have Flowers/Carr/Lewis/Berry on the field for every down, and then you can add in a McGraw/Daniels/Piscitelli, and maybe have another kid drafted, I think that works.

And you gotta keep The Gilberry. I was actually happy with Amon Gordon, too, so it would be nice to see if he can improve for a second season with us (though I admit we do need to draft a monster NT for a more long-term solution).

Keep the defense. Let the entire offense go.

WR Dwayne Bowe (UFA)

CB Brandon Carr (UFA)

DE Wallace Gilberry (UFA)

DL Amon Gordon (UFA)

DL Kelly Gregg (UFA)

S Reshard Langford (ERFA)

FB Le’Ron McClain (UFA)

[OPLookn]

Keep:
1st string:
WR Dwayne Bowe (UFA) - Re-sign but make his contract dependent upon him catching a high % of passes (franchise if necessary)
CB Brandon Carr (UFA) - Make signing him secondary only to Bowe if we don't franchise Bowe
FB Le’Ron McClain (UFA)

2nd string:
RB Jackie Battle (UFA)
TE Anthony Becht (UFA) - on the fence between 2nd and 3rd stringer
LB Jovan Belcher (RFA)
DE Wallace Gilberry (UFA)
DL Amon Gordon (UFA)
OT Barry Richardson (UFA) - hate to say it but we need depth. If we draft a OT and pickup an OT from another team then put him as a 3rd string/practic squad guy. Bottom line the guy's got starting experience and it's gotta count for something.

3rd string:
TE Leonard Pope (UFA)
S Reshard Langford (ERFA) - special teams resign
S Jon McGraw (UFA) - special teams resign
S Sabby Piscitelli (UFA) - it's a three people fighting for two spots for special teams
WR Jerheme Urban (UFA) - I like the guy and he's a good special teams guy that always seems to fight for time with the offense every year.

Practice squad:
DB Travis Daniels (UFA)
TE Jake O’Connell (RFA)

Let go:
RB Thomas Jones (UFA) - the guy is out of gas unfortunately.
OT Ryan O’Callaghan (UFA)
QB Kyle Orton (UFA) - he doesn't wanna seem to be here and the Chiefs don't wanna pay a lot of money
QB Tyler Palko (ERFA)

Release or hire on as coaches/mentors but no active roster spot?:
DL Kelly Gregg (UFA) - he's 35 and will be 36 this year.
C Casey Wiegmann (UFA) - He seemed to debate about coming back last year. Definitely would be a good coach.

[Chiefster]

This one I think I'm pretty sure about.

QB Tyler Palko (ERFA) Outta here!

[Hayvern]

RB Jackie Battle (UFA) - keep him, good compliment to Charles, deserves a chance
TE Anthony Becht (UFA) - Who? - Gone
LB Jovan Belcher (RFA) - Keep, I think he is going to have a breakout year this year.
WR Dwayne Bowe (UFA) - Torn, I think he is going to want more money than he is worth. Franchise him potentially and let it all play out
CB Brandon Carr (UFA) - Sign Him, good strong Corner and is only getting better
DB Travis Daniels (UFA) - find a good replacement in the draft and let this guy go.
DE Wallace Gilberry (UFA) - Keep him, he is good for depth and has worked well this year
DL Amon Gordon (UFA) - Eh, if there is anything better out there, go for it, but otherwise, resign him if he is cheap.
DL Kelly Gregg (UFA) - same as above
RB Thomas Jones (UFA) - gone, he is done and would likely retire soon anyway.
S Reshard Langford (ERFA) - if you love something, set it free, if it comes back it is yours, in this case, tender him with a third round pick and see what happens.
FB Le’Ron McClain (UFA) - resign him, he is not going to be a lot of money and he was good production, help
S Jon McGraw (UFA) - resign him, he is depth that we need.
OT Ryan O’Callaghan (UFA) - gone, let him go, not worth the trouble
TE Jake O’Connell (RFA) - tender him and see where the chips fall.
QB Kyle Orton (UFA) - this one is tough, I think I would be looking to give him an offer to come back, but the last thing we need in KC is a QB controversy
QB Tyler Palko (ERFA) - history
S Sabby Piscitelli (UFA) - history
TE Leonard Pope (UFA) - I might try to get him back if he does nmot cost too much.
OT Barry Richardson (UFA) - not only do I wanna throw him under the bus, I want to drive the bus back and forth over the top of him a couple hundred times. I could not get him to clean out his locker fast enough.
WR Jerheme Urban (UFA) - History
C Casey Wiegmann (UFA) - will likely retire, but would keep him if he wanted to stay

[pojote]

RB Jackie Battle (UFA): Keep as a 3rd stringer an ST
TE Anthony Becht (UFA): Keep. Best run blocking TE we have.
LB Jovan Belcher (RFA): He needs to be a backup, not starter.
WR Dwayne Bowe (UFA): Keep.
CB Brandon Carr (UFA): Keep.
DB Travis Daniels (UFA): On the edge.
DE Wallace Gilberry (UFA): Good in subpack. Keep.
DL Amon Gordon (UFA): Depends on how Powe, Toribio and probably some draft pick can do.
DL Kelly Gregg (UFA): He has a lot of technical skills that can teach to our young NT. Keep.
RB Thomas Jones (UFA): Go.
S Reshard Langford (ERFA): Keep.
FB Le’Ron McClain (UFA): Keep, please.
S Jon McGraw (UFA): Keep.
OT Ryan O’Callaghan (UFA): Go.
TE Jake O’Connell (RFA): Go.
QB Kyle Orton (UFA): Depends on how good he can make out of FA. If can't be a franchise QB he can stay and fight.
QB Tyler Palko (ERFA): He isn't gone yet?
S Sabby Piscitelli (UFA): I thoght he played always for the other team.
TE Leonard Pope (UFA): If we don't get another TE he can stay. He made a lot of mistakes this season, when he had to step up.
OT Barry Richardson (UFA): Same as Piscitelli, plays for the other team.
WR Jerheme Urban (UFA): Don't think he will get a spot on the "right 53"
C Casey Wiegmann (UFA): If Hudson can beat him, I think he should retire.
