Paging Jarrad Page!

by Chiefs

I love Todd Haley.  He has his quirks, and I would not want to be on his bad side, but he has passion unlike any head coach of recent year.  Who doesn’t love that?

Does he play favorites?  Absolutely he does.  He favors players who favor his system.  He loves teammates who buy into the scheme, the energy, and the belief which he and Pioli are selling over at The New Arrowhead”.  You’re either with him, or against him.

This leads me to Mr. Page.  Can anyone explain to me why Mr. Jarrad Page has not signed his tender? He is not extension worthy, is he? He is apparently getting no looks from any other teams.  In fact, I would argue if some team offered him a contract for just one dollar more than his tender, I am not sure the Chiefs would match it. 

More after the jump…

At this point Mr. Page, and only Mr. Page, is alienating himself.  He is certainly not buying into the system, which also appeared to be the problem a year ago.  You may remember last year when he lost his starting job to Jon McGraw (He was a healthy scratch against the Chargers).  So apparently he was in someone’s dog house for whatever reason.  (There were also rumors that Haley was unhappy with the fact that Page was “doggin it” or would not play through injury, actually Haley said so after the Chargers game when speaking about Jon McGraw starting the Chargers game.  Page may have even been placed on IR as a result.  It is a safe assumption considering he was listed as a healthy scratch and then on IR soon thereafter). 

In any event, does anyone know what injury he has/had?  I am not sure.

The longer Page waits the more likely he gets cut.  Am I right?  In fact, I would not be shocked if he is cut prior to training camp.  Would you?

Halley cut the wrong Safety last year. He cut Pollard who goes and has a pro bowl calliber season for the Texans and now we have Page a FS who was injured last year and is now holding out. Which I don't know who's guiding him but whoever it is their obviously not qualified to be directing someone career becuse holding out is doing him No favors. He won't get any more than what's being offered, plus we don't need him. We drafted Berry who will play FS and if we wouldn't of cut Pollard we would have Pollard at SS and Berry at FS which would have the potential to be the best young safety in the NFL. But instead, we cut Pollard last year and were stuck with Page, a FS and drafted Berry a FS at no. 5 overall and we still don't have our saftey core set yet. If you spend a fith overall pick on a position you should be set on that position but not the chiefs. Instead of cutting a disgruntled Page we cut our young studd SS Pollard and we still don't have a backfield that is set

He had a calf injury last year. and its gotten a lot better. but he's the best DB we got. and i think with berry coming in, in about a year we'd have some solid safetys. and we'd have flowers who's gonna be real good soon. so i really hope he signs

its freakin May, he can do what he wants. he's playing it safe, cuz an injury in the offseason is the last thing he needs

not worried bout page let Kendrik Lewis or Washington feel his shoes the chiefs got safeties and we got our Beast safety Eric BERRY aint worried bout him at all or Langford chiefs are MORE than str8...

If his leg doesn't heal well, then he is slow and unable to compete. He most likely is waiting on his leg to pass a physical.

I hope they do keep him and not let them make another bone head decision like they did on pollard.what a bad move.

yeah i was so pissed when we dropped pollard

Haley is not scared to sit a guy who thinks he is a starter. Thats part of what I like about the guy.

I think he could lose his job if he signs today. Haley seems impressed with a few young players in the backfield.. Could be the Berry Washington show, with Page watching from the sidelines.

good comment patrick i was thinking the same thing he took awhile to sign last year lets no forget he was a 7th round pick and not alot is expected out of them pick and we need him back for nothing else competition but if he signs which he will soon i believe he has alot of potential and will be are starting SS.

couldn't they just decide to pull back the offer making him a free agent?

This is a voluntary practice. If the Chiefs cut him as a result of missing it, they would be subject to discipline from the NFL (and a grievance from the union).

Thanks Joel for the info. I did not think of it that way. But I hope you see my point. I am sure Haley is not happy about him being gone, when everyone else is there.

I doubt the Chiefs would cut him FOR holding out but I suppose they could cut him later in the summer. Still, I don't think it will happen. Page took a while to sign his contract last year as well. I suppose he is hoping a team will bite on him so he can get more money. Really all he is doing is hurting himself. He isn't being a team player or taking part in what the team is doing so he is putting himself behind. He is just increasing the chances that one of the young safeties will take his spot and he will spend the season on the bench.

Not really hurting himself at all, I don't think. Frankly, the best-case scenario for him is the Chiefs to cut him. He's been a four-year starter yet playing on a miniscule 7th round pick contract (and a million buck tender last year and another this year). If he hits FA market, he'll get more. Also, he's not "holding out" in the traditional sense of the word because he's currently not under contract. I see what you mean about hurting himself but I just happen to disagree.

I think he probably deserves more than his contract is paying him but he also needs to get into camp already
