Chiefs Add Two to the Practice Squad

by Chris on Sep 17, 2008 4:02 PM CDT in 2008 Campaign Comment 17 comments

We signed CB Travarous Bain and G Tavares Washington.

Bain (6-0, 182) originally entered the NFL with Arizona in 2007 as a rookie free agent. He attended training camp with the Cardinals each of the past two seasons, but was released prior to the start of the regular season on both occasions. Bain spent the final nine games of the 2007 season on Arizona’s practice squad.

Bain started 20 games over two seasons at Hampton after transferring from the University of Miami (FL). He led the Pirates with five interceptions as a senior and garnered first-team All-MEAC honors. He prepped at Northwestern High School in Miami, Florida.

Washington (6-4, 315) originally entered the NFL with San Francisco as a rookie free agent in 2006 and spent that entire campaign on the 49ers practice squad. He also spent a portion of the 2007 season on San Francisco’s developmental squad after being released prior to the start of the regular season. Washington attended training camp with the Redskins in 2008, but was released prior to the start of the regular season.

The Greenville, Mississippi native played in 18 games (12 starts) at Florida after transferring from Mississippi Delta Junior College. He finished his prep career at South Delta High School in Greenville, Mississippi.

Dowayne Davis and Scott Mayle were released from the practice squad after being signed a few weeks ago.

Maybe We Can Start One Of Them At Quarterback

Supporting the lesser of two evils is still supporting something evil.

Does Bain run the option well or something?

I think CB is probably the one position we’re OK at.

And I think the corpse from Weekend at Bernie’s would be a better starting RG than Adrian Jones. I miss Will Shields.

yeah

he wasn’t all that bad at WR, although he whiffed on a tackle after an interception during the preseason.

Its time to trade for Plummer.

Why would we need to trade for a guy

who’s retired?

Probably a 7th rounder

I think the Bucs still have his rights.

They Do

He’s under contract until 2010. The Bucs don’t have to pay his salary because he’s retired, but they’ll own his rights until the contract’s up…same deal as with Favre.

More practice players to the practice squad...

At this rate by the end of the year we will have taken 1 player off the practice squad of every team in the NFL. I just hope we can find a diamond in the rough with all this dumpster diving.

He is not a free agent

He is retired, but not a free agent. Tampa has his rights.

Just something I find noteworthy and might start watching more closely

But has anyone noticed that we’re taking players from some of the perrennially worst NFL teams in recent memory?

I Noticed That With McIntosh

The Dolphins had a pretty terrible line in 2006 and I remember being shocked that the Chiefs would want one of the tackles off of it. Who else are you referring to?

Wade Smith and Anthony Alabi (since waived) qualify too, since they played for the Jets and Dolphins respectively last year.

The two they reference above

are from the 49ers and Cardinals. While they’re not as terrible (yet) as they have been consistently in the past, they have still been pretty bad teams… Much like we will be for a few more years.
