Kansas City Chiefs Announce Roster Cuts

Finally.

Kansas City placed G Chris Bober, FB Greg Hanoian, LB David Hicks and WR Maurice Price on Injured Reserve and terminated the contract of WR Rod Gardner. The Chiefs also released 9 players: T George Batiste, CB Michael Bragg, DE Chris Harris, WR Brent Little, CB Marcus Maxey, TE Mike Pinkard, T Ramiro Pruneda, WR Titus Ryan and T Kevin Sampson.
Some of those "cuts" have already been reported here at AP. The eight players that we were looking for are:
  • T George Batiste
  • G Chris Bober
  • LB David Hicks
  • CB Michael Bragg
  • FB Greg Hanoian
  • T Kevin Sampson
  • WR Maurice Price
  • WR Brent Little
Keep an eye on the depth chart. It hasn't been updated yet but it will be soon. We're still shaky on the right side of the offensive line (and everywhere else for that matter with the exception of Brian Waters) so the Kevin Sampson cut is a little bit surprising. Also, Michael Bragg seemed to have a slight leg up on a couple CBs but I guess not.

Nothing really shocking here Chiefs fans. By Saturday, 22 more players will be gone. I'll digest these and probably give my thoughts in the comment section.

Kevin Sampson
Hadn't really noticed his name being brought up re: cuts.  

He excelled in year 2011 of my Madden franchise.  Damn virtual Kevin Sampson....

Yeah I know
Still not that surprising though. Remember IR guys can't play the rest of the season. That gives Boomer Grigsby a leg up since fullback Greg Hanoian is on IR.

Sampson
I am pretty surprised by Sampson getting the ax. The cupboard is pretty bare at OT. McIntosh, Turley, Svitek, err, uhh. Is John Alt still available? Heck, I'd take John Tait!

Wesley for OT?
Suppose there is a swap in the works with Wesley for a decent back-up O tackle before the end of the week?  I'd kind of like to keep Wesley myself.  Page's tackling's been suspect and it seems like Wesley can still play.  As Herm said in today's press conference, Page can intercept -- but at what cost when you're the last line of defense?

surprised to see sampson cut
i always thought that if he stayed healthy he could be a good backup option. oh well, its not like he was blowing the world away or anything.

bottom line is our o tackles absolutely suck, and as optimistic as the opening of the season starting is making me (i know we will only win 6 or 7 games, but i cant help but dream that we can somehow find a way into the playoffs) we wont be able to do anything all year with svitek or turley terry playing significant time at any tackle position. RUN ON SENTENCE!!!!
