From Football Outsiders via Twitter:
I’m convinced Tamba Hali is going to be a huge story next year. He’s the best pass-rusher in the AFC West — and that includes Dumervil.

Joe Haden: Dark Horse
While we’ve had ample discussion across the Chiefs blogosphere about whether the Chiefs should consider offensive tackle at #5 overall, considered McClain and jousted over my favorite outliers in Jimmy Clausen, CJ Spiller, and Taylor Mays, but we’ve had very little conversation about one of the best players in this upcoming Draft, Florida cornerback Joe Haden. It’s been mentioned by dubldug a few times in comments, and but the only love Haden’s received on the Chiefs blogosphere has been by the fine people at KC Chiefs Blog, who actually drafted him in a network-wide mock draft.
Make no mistake, not only is cornerback a prime [...]
Per Aaron Wilson’s Twitter:
Thaddeus Gibson talked with the Ravens, Chiefs, Saints, Browns, Falcons and Cowboys
Gibson played OLB at Ohio State. He is projected to go in the 3rd round.
I know the Chiefs like Andy Studebaker and may try to resign Mike Vrabel but this gives us a clue that they might not feel totally secure at OLB.
The Arizona Cardinals are taking a couple of gambles this offseason and their losses could end up being winnings for the Chiefs should they make a move. ESPN.com is reporting that Cardinals Safety, Antrel Rolle will be released this week.
Arizona’s eventful offseason will continue this week when the Cardinals release former first-round pick Antrel Rolle, an NFL source said Sunday.
Rolle’s release will follow Kurt Warner’s retirement and the Cardinals decision not to use their franchise tag on linebacker Karlos Dansby.
I have to believe that the Chiefs are going to give Rolle a good, hard look given their awful play at [...]
If You Had To Pick Just One…
We have done a lot of talking about free agency and the draft around here in recent weeks and with free agency right around the corner, I thought we should get an idea of just what Chiefs nation is thinking. We have debated the pros and cons of a number of free agents so I thought I would throw a little poll together to find out, once and for all, what we all think the Chiefs should do when the clock strikes midnight on March 5th.
The top free agents are likely to go quick, some within hours, so the [...]
From BobGretz.com:
Wide receivers will hit the field today at Lucas Oil Stadium to run the 40-yard dash and go through other drills as part of the NFL Combine.
The Chiefs will be paying close attention; they need some young receiver help in the 2010 NFL Draft.
“It’s a good group,” head coach Todd Haley said on Saturday. “We can find something there.”
What’s noteworthy about the group of 44 wide receivers in town for the four-day Combine is the presence of so many pass catchers out of the Big 12 Conference. At every level of prospective talent among the receivers there are familiar [...]
Yes, he is 31. Yes, he has been running behind a fantastic offensive line. But Thomas Jones — who will be released by the Jets very soon — is a special breed of workhorse. Just look at his stats over the past five seasons (year, team, games played, carries, yards, YPC):
2005 CHI 15 314 1335 4.3
2006 CHI 16 296 1210 4.1
2007 NYJ 16 310 1119 3.6
2008 NYJ 16 290 1312 4.5
2009 NYJ 16 331 1402 4.2
He’s carried the ball at least 290 times a game for each season the past five years for two different teams, yet has only missed one game and only averaged under four yards per carry [...]
Change To Overtime Rules Coming?
From NFL.com:
INDIANAPOLIS — An NFL spokesman says the league could change its overtime format for playoff games at a meeting next month.
Greg Aiello said Satuday that under the new format, both teams would get the ball at least once unless the first team to get the ball scores a touchdown.
If the first team to get the ball makes a field goal and the other team ties the game, action would continue until a team scores again.
Under the current rules, the first team to score wins.
The competition committee will discuss the new concept [...]
