Stray Arrows: Get Some Jackson Action?

The Patriots have cut former early second-round pick Chad Jackson, who they coveted so much they traded up to get him. I know a lot of people like some of the Chiefs‘ young receivers, but Jackson has more potential than any WR on our roster not named Dwayne Bowe. I really believe that. Other than [...]

Another Adam?

Adam Archuleta just got cut by the Raiders, who tried moving the ex-star safety to outside linebacker (like the hypothetical move we discussed earlier in the week). First of all, I’ve always liked Archuleta. Maybe it was the ridiculous training regimen which turned an unheralded player into a star at Arizona St. Maybe it was [...]

I Wouldn’t Sleep Easy If I Were…

As we learned quite well last year, the cutdown to 53 is not necessarily the end of the roster moves. For those players at the very end of the roster, sleep does not come easy. Here are my nominees (in no particular order) for “I wouldn’t sleep easy if I were”…
Nap Harris
Tyler Thigpen
BJ Sams
OK, Addicts, [...]

A.A.D.Q.: You Play GM

I’ve already said that I’d ink Billy McMullen, Chris Simms, Ryan Moats and Victor Hobson if I were running the Chiefs. Who would you bring in if you were running the show? A lot of pretty good football players got the axe today, so it’s a tough call.
Which recently released players would you sign if [...]

(K.C.) Missouri Loves Company

For all of you who are bummed about one or more of your guys getting cut, cheer up! Ex-Chiefs‘ cancerous tumors Eddie Drummond, Junior Siavii, Kris Wilson and Samie Parker have been cut (yet again), too! Not only did those high-paid punks not earn their salary or their arrowhead while playing for the Chiefs, they [...]

Stray Arrows: Chris Simms Cut

I’m not going to walk on eggshells here; if the Chiefs don’t cut Tyler Thigpen and go after Chris Simms, then they are idiots. Simms was just cut by the Bucaneers. Simms has shown a knack for pulling off comebacks, and is no stranger to big games. His size, experience and potential would combine to [...]
