The Name Is Faine

AUTHOR: Adam Best | IN: Breaking News | COMMENTS: 53 Comments

I’m hearing all kinds of news, from all kinds of sources…

Most importantly, I ‘m starting to think the Chiefs will actually sign former New Orleans Saints center Jeff Faine (wiki) sometime this weekend. Faine is the best center on the market and was a Pro Bowl alternate last year. He is only 26, and is a former first-round pick. This could be a huge, huge signing. The move would also keep Brian Waters at guard, which is key. No guarantees here, but only two other teams are looking at him (St. Louis and Tampa Bay) and he won’t be re-signed by the Saints. Expect us to pony up some cash if we do sign him, though. Hopefully, he won’t escape K.C. without plenty of Gates and a new contract. (hat tip: Scout)

Some receiver news: D.J. Hackett and Larry Fitzgerald might wear a shade of red next season, but it won’t be our shade. Fitz is close to striking a deal with the Cardinals, while Hackett is expected to be heavily courted by the Redskins and Titans.

    Also, forgot to mention that Al Davis is certifiably insane. We really can’t even guess what he’s thinking, and that’s what scares me.

    IF we don’t get Long and we get DOrsey or Ellis we will go after Collins or Cherilous from BC that sounds about right, but  if that happens We will most likely get a guard in the third and a corner in the fourth but i would like to see corner in the third and guard in the fourth or OWen Schmitt that kid is going to be a beast

    I’ve been reading that St.Louis have been really looking at the D-Linemen in the draft… that theyve even been looking at Gholston. Like, we can think that Jake will be gone by 5, but most sports shows, articles, mock drafts, etc are saying that he’s ours… But again, either person we get… it’ll be a huge upgrade.
