    Default JJ Arrington to Chiefs? Cut by Broncs!

    Looks like he could be a pick-up for us since he and Hailey are familiar with one another and besides..We are not super deeeep on RB's.

    I find it amusing that people had rather not take a player that could contribute just because they played for the Broncs, or Raiders, etc etc. LOL!

    I agree that he is not "great" from what I seen but thought that Haley would probably like to pick him up for back-up insurance due to their familiararity with one another.

    We shall see!
    No, they cut him because he flunked his physical:

    Drafting Moreno may have been a factor, but the fact remains that Arrington just isn't healthy enough to be a major contributor to a team.

    Right...He failed "their" physical because of the knee he had worked on. Apparently, it has not healed as they expected but does not mean that he won't be okay by the start of the season

    Listen Lamerson...I am not standing up here and saying "please sign Arrington!!" All I am saying is that he failed the Broncs physical after a surgery they knew he was having. Plus, they are "thick" at the RB position. It just "may" be a good pick-up in Haley's eyes and would follow suit with the system he has ran in the past. In my eyes, he would not be a starter regardless but he does bring some experience under Haley's past offensive scope.

    If he can pass the Chiefs physical, then it could be a high possibility since we have 3 RB's....One, which has been in trouble and a problem to the team...Kolby is unproven and if I am not mistaken has had some knicks... and while I think Charles could take 20-25 carries/touches per game, we could still use a relief back-up/role player. Possibly a return man as you mentioned.

    That's all! lol

    Looks like there was more to it than failing the physical from the scope job....He needs microfracture surgery on the knee now...

    Guess that pick-up can be ruled OUT! lol

    honestly he had a great chance in arizona and failed, hes hurt now, and we're loaded at RB no matter what people say...

    I dont see the need.

    Johnson/Charles/Williams/Battle are all roster spot ready,

    and Kolby Smith depends on his rebound from that injury, maybe he spends the year on PuP and we can keep him.
