Chiefs looking at Edge

Posted: 05/05/09 11:29 am The Main Line...Edgerrin James played last season for Todd Haley while they both were in Arizona, but a reunion could be coming in Kansas City. ESPN is reporting that the Chiefs are looking at the possibility of adding James to their mix now that he's been released by the Cardinals.
jesse thinks...
The team was openly flirting with the option of cutting Larry Johnsnon few months back, and this could possibly give them a replacement if that's still the plan. Still, moving from LJ to Edge would be a downgrade for the offense, so I think Haley will consider this cautiously before moving ahead. I could also see James being added to pair with LJ, which would likely signal the end of Kolby Smith's run in KC.

And at the end of the season we will all be posting about how happy we are that LJ has turned his life and field play around.

Fair enouph.

Isnt the basis of Edge's wanting out of Arizona revolving around how he felt under 'utilized' there? Why would he want to come to KC to play for the OC that didn't use him as much as he wanted to be used?

Or am I off on this?

Bad offfield players are a poison to any locker room. Better to have Edge showing the young guys how to play then LJ showing them the wrong way to act.

I just don't think Edge is as washed up as some folks tend to think. I believe he has at least 2 solid years left becuase he pretty much had a partial season last year due to splitting time with the other backs in AZ.

He wanted the ball more last year to show that he still "had it" and all of us know that a majority of backs need to get a number of touches to get in a good groove.

If the Chiefs could work out a good deal to get him for a couple of years, I am all for it!!

You are right on the money. But at this point I think reality has to be setting in for Edge.

What team is going to trade for Edge to be their feature back? I can't think of any.

He will be part of a platoon. New Orleans, GB, Ariz, Seattle, Cincy, Tampa, NE, Jax are some places that immediately come to mind. I'm sure there are others.

Edge is not going to KC. Deal with it....Seattle and New Orleans could pick him up. Heck, it doesn't matter to him if his team wins the superbowl or loses every game. He was whining while playing for a team that made it to the Super Bowl, he just wants the ball. I don't see him being helpful to us production wise or with his attitude. Pioli nor Haley would want him either

I think teams are waiting to see how camps go wether or not they bring him in..

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about!! Edge was nothing but classy throughout the entire 08 season. Sure he voiced some displeasure about not getting the ball as much as he would have liked but he was at no point a distraction to the team. He has always had a good attitude and would be an assett for any team looking for a veteran RB.
