Chiefs Free Agent News and Rumors

[TopekaRoy]

I didn't see a thread covering free agency news so I thought I would start one. Feel free to add any Chiefs news or rumors regarding free agency here.

According to ArrowheadPride.com, here is a slist of current Chiefs who are unrestricted free agents:

NT Ron Edwards
DE Shaun Smith
WR Terrance Copper
C Casey Wiegmann
S Jon McGraw
LB Charlie Anderson
WR Kevin Curtis
CB Travis Daniels
LB Mike Vrabel
FB Tim Castille
OT Ryan O'Callaghan
LB Corey Mays
TE Leonard Pope
C Rudy Niswanger
QB Brodie Croyle

Vrabel has announced his retirement and Wiegman has expressed an interest in playing another year. I think he is a must sign. What other Chiefs do you think we need to sign and who should we let go?

Here are some other UFAs that the Chiefs are reportedly interested in:

Right Tackle: Doug Free (Dallas), Jermon Bushrod (new Orleans)

Last year Jamaal Charles averaged 6.4 yards per carry when running to the left, but only 4.3 ypc when running to the right.

Nose Tackle: Aubrayo Franklin (San Francisco)

The Chiefs drafted Jerrell Powe (6th round) this year but he'll be raw and probably only a rotation player to start with. They may resign Ron Edwards, but if they don't Franklin would would be a force up the middle.

Other free agents that the Chiefs are reportedly interested in:

Offensive Tackle: Jared Gaither (Baltimore)
Running Back: Le'Ron McClain (Baltimore)
Wide Receiver: Steve Breaston (Arizona)

What are your thoughts?

Yep. Nothing wrong with speculating, if you ask me.

I didn't. I just got the impression that sort of thing is not welcome here.


...or perhaps just my speculation. Who knows?

Speculation on speculation? We just went to a whole new level.

If we're throwing out theories... My guess is that life has always been easy for Houston. No one's ever told him no because he's the star of the program and he'll be "going to the next level".

With that comes a certain amount of arrogance and thought that they're untouchable. He got his first smack of the real world at the draft when his failed drug test shot him back two rounds.

Holding out a bit to get more isn't anything new and I won't speculate on if it was drugs or purely wanting more money...which is a form of drug so if it was just drugs.

Either way, Haley doesn't have a problem cutting someone from the 3rd round although I have a feeling he'll get a pass despite what Haley is probably telling him. Regardless, as the saying goes...Houston, it's time to man up!
