Chiefs Bring In Mike Vrabel

I know its a little to late because we have cassel now hahah but sorry guys i had that link from NFL.com

After watching some comments on NFL network i created a new idea. The chiefs cannot afford to let Dorsey go in a trade. They spent the 5th overall pick on him and twords the end of the year he really showed some flashes of being a great player. I say the chiefs go out and get Rocky B. the DT from the Seattle. This kid is huge and is a disruptive force at DT. This would allow Dorsey to slide outside in a 3-4. I think dorsey could really excel at that position as long as he gets a bit faster. I like the Mike Peterson idea exept that he has had some trouble with the law and pioli already has shown that he wont put up with that stuff

Really wondering if we trade Dorsey. If he isn't going to work in a 3-4 then unload him now to a team in a 4-3. Canty and A. Smith would be great. Don't know if any lb's are left, but I would rather have someone younger than Brooks. Maybe Andra Davis or Mike Petersen.

On the Dorsey trade idea, maybe he showed enough last year to get a late 1st rder this draft.

Vrabel is a great pick up!! The chiefs had no leadership on D last year mostly because we were and still are so young. Vrabel brings leadership and has played in the big games. And i have an idea. What about the Chiefs getting Chris Canty the DE from the Cowboys? that would give us our DE in the 3-4 Glenn can play nose or Tank Tyler can swich on and off with him while Tamba Hali plays the other end. I also think that the chiefs should really look into Derrick Brooks. Think of the 4 LBs!!!!! DJ, Vrabel, Brooks, Curry!!!! talk about a turnround!!!!!

LOL, love that Adam. I'm still not buying this entire thing. Something has to be up or in the works. With NE and Pioli now in KC anything is possible.

That's because the folks behind AP are Thiggy supporters.

Something is up becuase the Chiefs have not mentioned a thing about the Vrabel trade yet.

Have a great weekend everyone!

BTW, Adam, you need to drop some knowledge on the folks over at AHpride. Too many people were relieved when the "Cassel to Tampa" story "broke"

Adam is right about the compensation in $$$ being too low for that rumored deal to be true. Hell, I bhet Pioli found out about it during negotiations and started lowballing Cassel's agent haha, jk. Although the compensation in picks might be within reason. Who knows what deal Pioli is working on with NE, but I wouldn't be surprised if Cassel is a part. The only reason we know Vrabel is coming here is because he spilled his beans. They were probably waiting on a Cassel deal to be finalized before making an announcement about any multi-player moves.

If there is a three way trade, what would it ential?

LJ to Bucs
Tony G to Patriots?
??? and Vrabel to Chiefs?
Cassell to go ?????
Picks flying all over the place?

Yaaaaa....I'll believe it when I see it. I mean who knows three team trades happen all the time. Wait...no they dont thats the NBA. I give this 2% chance of this happening.

Now I'm hearing talk of a possible 3 way deal involving the Chiefs, Pats and Bucs. This is crazy, my heads about to explode. LOL!

LB Mike peterson still has alot in the tank and I think he would be a huge addition.

At this point my wish list looks like this: Canty and Igor wearing red and gold dammit. Cato June and Andra Davis maybe. 1 OT and Guard please and the HOUSH!!!

I'm not sure I'm working on trying to get some "info" from people in New England. Will let you know what and if I'm able to come up later on.

Looks like that 6 PM news conference was to introduce Fred Taylor.

Vrabel is a good pick up. He will not be a superstar but he's got rings and can bring some defensive veteran leadership to a very young defense that does not have any.

'Anything less than the 35th or whatever it is (the Chief's 2nd rounder) would be a travesty.'

This from Patsy fans on the Boston Globe message board. LOL

Epic Is Just Getting Shit Stirred Up To Try & Create Controversy

Not that it matters but have any of you seen what the Broncos have done today? Buckhalter, JJ Arrington, Jabar Gaffney, Renaldo Hill, David Anderson and are reportedly looking to sign Brian Dawkins and are talking about bringing in Ray Lewis. The last two are the only two I think are even worth talking about. It is nice to see that no other AFC West teams are doing anything to help themselves either.

Epic...where are you getting this info? I couldn't find it. As for Vrabel...not horrible, I would have preferred Brooks.

that's what I was thinking that salary is BS.

I haven't been able to find anything and have been looking for a while. Plus, the compensation (draft picks) seems a little high, especially non-conditional, and the salary seems low. I guess we will have to wait and see.

link?

BREAKING NEWS : Tampa Bay TV Station FOX 13 is reporting BUCS are finalizing contract extention talks with MATT CASSEL . BUCS and PATS have agreed on DEAL pending CASSEL CONTRACT SIGNING ( 4 years -29.5 million ). Buc 's official confirms deal is for Buc's 2009 1st round selection and 2010 conditional 2nd rounder.

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?...

Dawkins is supposedly going to sign with the Donkeys...why are the Eagles letting him get away?

I like the trade, just as long as we didnt give up more than a 6th rounder. Vrabel is exactly what Pioli said he wanted in our football team, Big, Strong, Fast, Smart, Tough, Disciplined football players. That is exactly what Vrabel is.

The only reason we picked this man is for his experience and leadership for the LB named Curry we will be selecting in the draft.

Here is the sadest part about this hole thing the LBs that we have average more tackles then Vrabel. So why did we just waste money and picks for some average LB. SADDDDDDDDDDDDD

This is a joke!! we hade Vilma, Lewis, Brooks and we choose Vrabel. This is not a good sign at all. Vrabel is going to be 34 and isn't all that productive averages 55 tackles a years and 5 sacks come on. If we gave anything more then a 6 rounder I will be pissed. We could have done better without that pick. Cassel will not be picked up now thats for sure. No teams going to give three of there picks to the same team.

I'm pumped! This is the start of the master plan.

Taylor was picked up by NE already, and Ward prolly cost too much for them (or didn't want to go there). Morris did start some last year and has had a few good performances.

I think this is a good deal for the Chiefs. Vrabel is a great character guy and hard worker. He still has the talent and he will provide GREAT leadership, especially with 3 rings. I expect we gave up a sixth but I would be shocked if it were more than a 5th.

Now if this has something to do with Cassel, well, then that would just be icing on the cake for me. It would have to be a blockbuster, though, for us to get TWO players from NE. God only knows what we would be giving up. Players, Picks, both... Oh, it is just too exciting in KC right now!!

Because Kevin SMith RB is their guy.

Why the hell did the Lions sign Maurice Morris? Derrick Ward and Fred Taylor are still out there, right?

BREAKING NEWS!!!!

JONATHAN VILMA SIGNS 34M DEAL WITH SAINTS!

No link yet, but I'm working on trying to get more. Heard it from WEEI in Boston about the "supposed announcement coming". Will update further when and if I'm able to get more info, SORRY!

A fifth sounds about right, unless Pioli gave NE a bonus and made it a fourth. Or there might be more to this than meets the eye at this time. We'll know soon enough with this announcement coming at about 6 pm EST tonight.

News out of New England, is Vrabel could be ONLY part of the deal with KC. Leaks have it being mentioned QB Matt Cassel might be in this package. More to come when it comes available. Sources have it there's a "Major Announcement" coming close to 6 pm tonight concerning this trade. Stay tuned!

Matt - MusketFire

Anyone who thinks it's a good thing we can get Cassel will ultimately be disappointed - I think the guy will be a bust outside of NE...He took over an offense that was a record breaker...I don't think he can get a struggling team anywhere. I hope he stays put.

Pioli is trying to make this a team that can win right now, and that is what Vrabel is. He is a player meant to bring in to a team that is ready to win in one or two years, will we be ready? I have no clue, but I like the attitude that Mike Vrabel will bring, and I think this guarantees we will be picking Curry

Vrabel turns 34 in August.

If you wanted an old guy, why not go and get Ray Lewis?

He is old, but can still run, and will get everyone in line on D.

I am just saying.

Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss wonders if Mike Vrabel's trade could be part of a larger deal including Matt Cassel.

Now that would be a doozy. Reiss is one of the most well-respected beat writers in the country, and is usually very cautious to publish anything resembling speculation. He rightly points out that we have no idea what the compensation in the Vrabel trade is.

Mike Vrabel traded to KC!

UUMMMM WHAT????????????

I don't know about this one. It better be a 6th or 7th round pick.

What does he have left? 1-2 years tops!

3-4 here we come.

I fall somewhere in the middle on this i guess. I like the veteran spice to the youth recipe but it depends on what we had to give up. Any word on the "undisclosed draft pick"? If anything he is an upgrade over what we currently have. Of course, a chick that shops a Lane Bryant is an upgrade if your prom date is your Mom.
