Eagles Release Kevin Curtis

Home » Chiefs » Eagles Release Kevin Curtis

The Eagles have just released WR Kevin Curtis. Curtis, a former 3rd round pick of the St. Louis Rams, was due a large roster bonus the Eagles did not want to pay him.

Curtis has suffered from injury issues over the last 2 seasons. He missed the first half of the 2008 season because of a sports hernia and nearly all of last season due to a knee surgery.

Curtis might be a very good pickup for the Chiefs. He is known to have very good hands and disciplined route running, two things Todd Haley values. In 2007, his first season with the Eagles, Curtis had 77 catches for 1110 yards and 6 touchdowns.

There are, of course, concerns. Curtis is 31 and has only played a grand total of 12 games in the last 2 seasons. These concerns, however, are what make him such a low risk/high reward target for the Chiefs. They will likely be able to get Curtis for cheap if they really want him. They can take him to camp with an incentive heavy contract. If his knees are shot or he looks like he is finished the Chiefs can cut him without doing much damage. If he is even half the player he was in 2007, the Chiefs will have a very strong slot option with reliable hands and will have snagged a big offseason steal.

What do you think, Addicts? Should the Chiefs sign Curtis and take him to camp? Remember, he can’t work out any worse than Toomer did last year. Or Engram. Or Lelie.

Why is a sub 4.4 guy a "slot receiver"? You are a dummy

what we really need is "GOOD HANDS" and "PROPER ROUTE RUNNING" at the WR positions,,,, "SPEED" is also important but I would give up a tenth for hands and feet,,, that will open up all those timing plays that we seem to have forgotten....... so I think Mr Curtis would really be worth taking a serious look at.........

GO CHIEFS!!!!

Hey if he can catch the ball then sign him,we can always let him go. remember Toomer.

Wonder what his 40 time is now? We need a speedy wideout, so if Curtis is to slow, no go.

As teams keep cutting players you try to find the diamond in the rough, guys like Curtis appear, and I wonder what's left in the tank. This will likely continue till the first OTA's and is supposedly Pioli's forte. Many of them Pioli already knows of and has moved past. I am surprised that Tory Holt hasn't got a call, he is a sure handed receiver, played the last couple of years, runs routes well, but is older and has slowed some. He does have a Super Bowl Ring and could help off field as well.

I would think Pioli and the boyz would do enough investigating to see where he is in his recovery process and then determine if he will even be healthy enough to be a true prospect. I can say I had him on my FF in the past and watched him when the Chiefs were not on and the guy definately has some talent. Healthy, right price, hell yes!
