Chiefs Cut 13 Including Pollard and Zach Thomas
Posted by: ericcrane
The Chiefs released 13 more players this afternoon to get their roster down to the league-mandated 53-man limit.
The cuts are: CB Jackie Bates, TE Tom Crabtree, DE Dion Gales, DE Bobby Greenwood, G Darryl Harris, WR Taurus Johnson, WR Ashley Lelie, DT Derek Lokey, S Bernard Pollard, S Ricky Price, LB Zach Thomas, RB Javarris Williams and WR Rodney Wright.
WOW we are really writing this season off and if you were anything less than a top performer in the league the last two years your out!
September 5th, 2009 at 11:32 pmIm not going to lie, my mood is directly related to madden. In this last off-season we have been getting killed in the stats department and they go and ruin our 2 biggest weapons. Thigpen and Pollard.
Its already hard enough to play with the chiefs… how do they expect us to compete….
grrrrr
September 5th, 2009 at 11:56 pmFirst couple weeks will be tough on our QBs, almost without question. But I like the looks of this cut-down and I see LOTS of upgrade material for the O-Line that could start bearing fruit by Week 3, and maybe even sooner.
I’m not sure if they’ll go with Cassel, Croyle, or Thigpen Week 1, while this O-Line is still being sorted out. I can almost see Croyle starting, with Thigpen to bring some shake-n-bake to the red zone. Thigpen might have that kind of role with Cassel starting, as well.
September 6th, 2009 at 7:06 amId like to hear more ideas on how we develop our offensive line I h ave no clue how we can accomplish that this year.
September 6th, 2009 at 10:39 amWe have to hope someone better than what we have gets cut from another team due to depth issues.
September 6th, 2009 at 11:21 amChiefs have signed Ryan O’Callaghan from waiver wire. He was cut by New England, who performed their OWN right tackle search this spring, because O’Callaghan missed 2008, after a(nother) shoulder injury. Looks like he has a shot, but this doesn’t look like a sure-thing cure to RT ills. Nevertheless, NE fans assure me that this was a very good player when he was healthy, but his shoulder forced NE to go in another direction, and he was beaten out.
September 6th, 2009 at 8:36 pmim glad they hung onto quinten lawrence, he has the potential to be a real threat ok kr/pr, our only other viable option would be jamaal but i DO NOT want out change of pace back returning punts and kicks. i can see him having success there but i dont want him to get hurt. quinten lawrence needs to fill the void we have there and bring back a simblance of what we had in dante hall
