NFL’s Newest Team: The Sharpest Cuts

by Chiefs

You could actually make a new NFL team out of all of the best players that were cut on Saturday. So, I did. I thought about calling them the Las Vegas Cuts or the Bangor Cold Cuts or some such nonsense but, for now, I’ll just stick with the Sharpest Cuts.

Not sure where they’ll play. Maybe in the new stadium L.A. is going to build.

All of these players are available immediately. Here’s the roster and who knows, maybe some of these “Cuts” will end up on the Chiefs roster.

Offense
QB- Scott Tolzien, had a strong summer for San Diego. This is likely the weakest position on the roster.
RB- Chester Taylor, older but can still pound it.
RB- Jalen Parmele, moving on from the Ravens.
FB- Lousaka Polite, played for Dallas and Miami, 30 yrs. old, very solid.
WR- Sinorice Moss.
WR- Demetrius Williams, 6-2, 202.
WR- Brandon Tate.
OT- Ryan Harris, will have to wait a year while his back heals from surgery but, it will be worth it.
OT- Cliff Lewis, would be the only 1st year starter on this list, cut by the Cards, at 6-8 and 315 he probably goes to their practice squad.
C- Geoff Hangartner, long time Bills vet.
OG- Max Jean-Gilles, was a solid starter for the Bengals
OG- Tony Hills, Steelers reject, one man’s floor is another man’s ceiling.
TE- Donald Lee, experienced with good hands.

Defense
DE- Igor Olshansky, has played well for the Bolts and the Boys, a salary casualty.
DE- Ogemdi Nwagbuo, productive and popular player for San Diego last season.
DT- Tommie Harris, Colts cut of the long time Bear was a bit of a surprise.
DT- Anthony Bryant, 6-3, 360 lb. nose from the Redskins is 29 and still has juice.
LB- Clint Ingram, started 46 games for the Jags but, was cut by the Saints
LB- Tavares Gooden, Ravens Lewis tutored his fellow Miami alum.
LB- Xavier Adibi, a 4th round pick of the Houston Texans.
DB- Lito Sheppard, been in the Pro Bowl.
DB- Crezdon Butler, 2nd year player for the Steelers looked solid in the preseason.
DB- Brandon Ghee, 3rd round pick of the Bengals in the 2010 draft.
S- Brandon Meriweather, 27 yr. old two time Pro Bowler, drafted by Pioli in N.E..
S- Marlin Jackson, used to start for the Colts but, can’t make the Eagles roster because of some kind of Dream team log jam.

KR- Brandon Tate
P- Jeremy Kapinos, Steelers.
K- Shayne Graham, cut by Cowboys, been around the league, experienced.

Side note: during the “making” of this team I noticed that the most difficult positions to fill were the OT and the LB positions. Here’s hoping the Chiefs can get something going on the OL.

Anyone you’d like to add to… or cut from… the Sharpest Cuts?

@FmsAmos I'm with you on the OT's but I'm worried about you Amos. Here's a little advice from the NEW Chief's 2011 preseason theme song by Third Eye Blind "Step back from that ledge my friend, cut ties with all the lies you been living in". Gotta let go of the Mallet fixation. He's going to holding Mr. Brady's clip board for the next few years unless we trade a 2nd and a 5th for him and an great but diminishing OLB. Promise us all that you won't go and do anything drastic before all of our starters play a full game with the entire playbook. Let's "Put the past away" and give our Chiefs the support they need from us to give the Bills our best shot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdgCajndgNw

@jgunz26 I would like Lee or Desmond Clark plus either one could give us insight for our game plan against GB or da Bears. Hell I'll trade you O'Connell and Becht for them both.

picking up donald lee would improve our recieving core!

@Celtks Equal shot? Pioli has shopped bargains since he got here. How many applauded the Chiefs not spending money on all those overpaid stars? I do not see a lot of equal coming from the Chiefs.

@KC MikeG Waters signed with NE. Anyone here if the Chiefs were doing anything/ Shopping for bargains.

@LyleGraversen Thought the same thing but he wasn't going to settle for a back up role. Still would like to see some action at the TE, OL and DB postions - soon! Oh and the ILB since we cut Cole/Johnson.

Meriweather signed with the Bears. Bummer.

My favorite made a roster guy - Mark Herzlich, the bone cancer surviving linebacker. Talk about guts and determination, you have to root for the guy.

Have you seen T.O. lately? I seem to have lost his number.

Just remember we only have an equal shot at the guys who became free agents the veterans. Newer guys go into the waiver system which we won't fare well with because of last season's record. Can we find the next Danny Woodhead gem like the Patriots snatched from the Jets? Will any of our cuts be gold for someone else?

The Chiefs need some of those players.

I am curious about Lito Sheppard. We need better depth at corner

If the Chiefs don't grab atleast two OT's that can play on the right side I'm going to kill myself. In my mock/players I wanted draft I did the day after the draft i had the Chiefs selecting two OT in the fourth round i had OT Marcus Cannon outta TCU and in the 5th I had the Chiefs selecting OT Demarcus Love outta Arkansas and LB Quan Sturdivant not to mention Ryan Mallet in the 3rd round and the beast D-lineman Kenrick Ellis who is perfect for the 3-4. I'm not big on picking RB's early but I chose Mark Ingram in the 1st round b/c I couldn't pass up a backfield of Charles and Ingram. That'd be one hell of a Tandem for the next ten yrs. I kept the 2nd and 6th round picks the same. I really like Rodney Hudson and i love Powe. My last difference was in the 7th I wanted LB Mark Herlich. Hine sites 20/20 but if pioli would have listened to me we would have a much better team. Now we don't have any OT's and we lost LB Siler for the year and if anything happens to Charles then were screwed. At least if we had Ingram he could fill in nicely and we wouldn't have to rely on Mr. Holding penalty Barry Richardson as are only RT. The only thing my draft left out was secondary help but Pioli didn't draft a safety either. If anyone knows Pioli's number give it to me and maybe he'll hire me on as the neighborhood funny guy kinda like Mikey in OCC.
