Free Agents?

**KCCF** · 03-09-2012, 11:52 PM

I see a lot of these high profile people being released (Manning, Dallas Clark, Wayne, Brandon Jacobs, Nicks among others [sidenote also shopping Freeney]) and my thought is what is the realistic possibility of acquiring any of those guys and it being a legitimate addition?

With our cap who would be smart to go after? You think Manning and Wayne come as a combo? Do we make an aggressive bid for Nicks? Would a headache (usually) like Jacobs be worth a 3 year risk (it like Jones was)?

What do you guys think realistically could be possibilities? Eager for the chiefs to start making moves.

I'm pulling for you guys to get my guy. Bring in Wayne and Clark too. If Weigmann retires you might as well see if Saturday wants to hook up with his former teammates too.

There's no reason you guys fail to dominate the league next year.

Exactly. Thankyou

I think you'll see the Chiefs grab Jacobs or Tolbert. I'm happy with either.

It's really tough to tell what could happen at this point. If they get Manning, all bets are off as to who they could sign and who would WANT to come here to play with this team. If they don't sign Manning, I think you'll see a cautious approach to free agency like you've seen over the last few years.

I definitely se us getting either one of those guys or benjarvus green Ellis.

And yes, if you sign him (Peyton) they (free agents) will come.

Steve Hutchinson was also just released. Maybe we get him if we can't get Nicks?

YUP! I think that a great deal of free agents are holding their breath waiting to see where Manning goes. Free agency is to a large extent "on hold" until Manning makes a decision.

Throw me down for Nicks and Clark!

Pick up Carl Nicks, Paul Soliai and Ryan Tolbert. Re-sign Kyle Orton, Jovan Belcher and Jon Mcgraw. Draft Reilly Reiff or Jonathon Martin in the first round. Draft for depth after that. All of this equals a very succesful offseason. Draft quarterback of the future in the first round next year

I like it a lot. If not Tolbert, then BGE will work for me. Or perhaps Jacobs.
