Hardcore player evaluation.

How bout a little group fun?

If this team is REALLY gonna take a couple years and "major reconstructive surgery" over that span to become a contender again, who should be on and stay on this team? Who will be too old when we are good? Who could we trade now to bring more draft picks?

Here's some fun to get started that will surely get some feathers ruffled.

Trade Tony Gonzales: He's been the ultimate Chief and it's a shame Peterson couldn't get him a ring. The best way he can do that now is to trade him to a contender for a #1 pick or a young, good player.

Trade Jared Allen: Negotiate a sign and trade with Allen. Tell him to list 10 teams he would accept a trade to and get the best possible bounty you can for arguably the best pass rusher in league. Perhaps a first rounder and more.

Trade Larry Johnson: Get ANYTHING you can for him. Huge contract with big questions after an injury laden 2007. This one may be best to move next season.

I think those 3 players, the best the Chiefs have to offer in the prime of their careers would bring huge bounty to help with the rebuilding. Bringing in a bunch of first rounders and more young players may require just one more "rebuilding year.

So, who else should stay and who else should go?

that is not being ppessimistic. the odds of drafting a bust are far greater than drafting a pro bowler.

Really? Perhaps that's why we should get as many high draft picks as we could possibly get as we rebuild this team and not rely on a 29 year old, INJURED RB and a 31 year old TE to build this team around....

Ok sure...trade em all. Great idea.

Actually I think Canada's point is that trading a current pro bowl caliber player for a draft pick is more of a long shot gamble than it is a risk/reward situation.

Why don't you two agree to disagree on this topic.

TexasChief is clearly of the opinion that the team can't be fixed in the next 2-3 years and the better solution is to trade the "icons" and get value for them.

Canada is of the opinion that you don't trade away "icons" you build around them.

Its clear you two don't appreciate the others position, and frankly the rest of us are tired of watching a chick fight with no CHICKS...

Instead of building around LJ, JA and TG, we rebuild this team around a new line, Kolby Smith, Dwayne Bowe, Jeff Webb, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson, Jarrad Paige, Bernard Pollard, Tank Tyler, Marcus McBride, Brodie Croyle, the 4 First RD PICKS that we COULD have this season and any other starter we could land in the rest of the draft.


But according to y'all, the only players on this team are Allen, Gonzo and LJ.

This team can be SO much more....but it does take risk and sacrifice.
