TE John Carlson has a visit set with the Chiefs - tweeted by NFL Insider Jason La Confora.

Had great numbers his first two seasons before numbers dropped off in 2010 and then missed all of 2011 due to shoulder surgery

'08: 55 REC, 627 YDS, 5 TD
'09: 51 REC, 574 YDS, 7 TD
'10: 31 REC, 318 YDS, 1 TD

Would be great 2nd option at TE to run two TE sets and team wouldn't miss a beat in case of another Moeaki injury.

DEPTH!! And love the 2 tight end sets idea. Be like NE but we have guys who can stretch the field. Now if we could get some O line help!!

I think his production dropped off because they added Zach Miller from Oakland last year didn't they?

Probably crowded his reps and targets

They added Miller, but he was out with an injury last season. I believe his numbers went down as Seattle added depth at WR. He was their leading receiver in 2008.

'08: 55 REC of 83 Targets
'09: 51 REC of 80 Targets
'10: 31 REC of 58 Targets

Meh.

Think he would be better then Pope. IMO

I'm more concerned with the Chiefs not going after players that are more of a priority. The race is on for free agents and we're focusing on a tight end. WHY?

He's just one of a few players that are coming for visits Peyton Hillis, Mike Tolbert, Eric Winston also coming.
