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?

What's keeping Justin Houston from camp? - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN

We should look at Lofa Tatupa, regardless of his recent injuries. I don't know what type of money he is after but we got some for a short-term deal with the man. Well worth the risk and if nothing more should provide depth at our LB core. He remains in the top ten (6) over at Walter Football for free agent LBs.

Im sure its up somewhere, but Houston is signed.

If we are getting a FA LB, I would love to get Channing Crowder!!

Yes, and all I hear is how noticeably out of shape he is. They say he so winded that he has to take a knee after each drill and is always taking his helmet off. They are surprised Hailey has not set him aside like he did his first year under the FAT and out of shape people and make him work on conditioning before playing.

Any links on that? Not doubting you, just bad news is more palatable when it comes with some backup.

It was on the radio last week. Not sure which one but I tend to think it was 810 sports. I believe it was the Friday practice.

OK....Being from Ct and not following KC radio, I have to accept that at face value.....Hope it is another case of the media getting things wrong.
