Chiefs, Ravens interested in Tyree

**captainamerica** · 09-05-2009, 04:45 PM

The Chiefs and Ravens are among the teams that have expressed interest in veteran WR David Tyree, who was released by the Giants today, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. Since Tyree is a vested veteran and can sign right away, there is a chance he could be with another team within the next few days, the source said.
Though both teams need help at wide receiver, Tyree is coveted more for his special-teams play. He was a special-teams Pro Bowler and is especially adept on punt coverage. However, nagging injuries and a deep receiver pool limited his availability this preseason, resulting in him being let go by the Giants.

What do you guys think? Would he be a good fit for our team?

Tyree would be brought on for special teams and possibly as a return man. It wouldn;t be a sexy pickup, but we could do a lot worse.

And while I like Pollard, I understand why we released him. We need a SS who can be adequate in coverage. Pollard can hit and tackle, but he's lousy in coverage. He's a poor man's Roy Williams. A Cover 2 team like Minny or TB should scoop him up.

Do you really need to keep trolling around here?

Agreed- if after "13 years" as a chiefs fan, your that petty, the team really doesn't need you as a fan.

If you're a fan, then be a fan. If you're going to call the team garbage, there's a silver and black team that needs you.

David Tyree = Larry Brown = Desmond Howard = Timmy Smith

If it wasn`t for special teams, Tyree isnt any better than Lelie as a receiver. But i forgot, we have the second coming of Walker and Moss by the name of Cooper.

You probably mean "Copper." Who is a great special teams gunner and will be our 4WR behind Bowe, Bradley, and Engram.

Seriously, where did all this Copper hate come from? He's a fast WR with good hands and is a great special teams player. He's a good fit for our team.
