Chiefs Trade Tank Tyler to Panthers

PrintJosh Looney of KCChiefs.com is reporting the Kansas City Chiefs have traded defensive tackle Tank Tyler to the Carolina Panthers for an undisclosed draft pick.
Update 8:40 PM - Kent Babb says it's for a 5th round pick in 2010.
Tyler was a third round draft pick in the 2007 draft. This means that only Kolby Smith and Dwayne Bowe remain from that draft class.
We have no clue what the draft pick is. I'm hearing people throw around a 5th or 6th rounder, which is just speculation at this point but it that makes some sense. Remember, though, the Panthers are desperate for defensive tackles.
The Panthers recently signed veteran defensive tackle Hollis Thomas because they've been reeling at defensive tackle. Starter Maake Kemoeatu was lost for the season on the first day of the training camp only to be following by the loss of his replacement, Louis Leonard, seven weeks later.
And now the Chiefs are desperate for defensive tackles. Funny...just yesterday we talked to Ron Edwards in the locker room about how difficult it is to play zero technique in the NFL. It was brought up that the rotation helps.
Dion Gales took nose tackle reps throughout training camp although he's currently on the practice squad.
On October 10th, we heard that the Chiefs had recently worked out three defensive tackles including William Joseph, Tim Anderson and Marlon Favorite. An LSU grad, Favorite, was coincindentally with the Panthers until the last round of final cuts. As we told you a few weeks ago, his signing could mean the Chiefs can line up an all-LSU defensive line.
Of course this now means that the Chiefs have one active roster spot available and one practice squad spot.
We've compiled a list of Tank-related stories for you after the jump.
(Thanks to acefan101 for the heads up)
Mock Draft Tracker Update #3
The Chiefs need help at DT and WR, the choice comes down Tank Tyler, Dwayne Bowe, and Sidney Rice. I think it is about time the Chiefs finally invest in a wide receiver and I like Rice better than Bowe, primarily because of Rice's speed.
Kansas City Chiefs Sign Tank Tyler and Herb Taylor
The agent for each player said his client agreed to terms of a three-year contract. Still without agreements were first-round wide receiver Dwayne Bowe, second-round defensive lineman Turk McBride and fifth-round kicker Justin Medlock. The Chiefs also continued to work on a contract extension for running back Larry Johnson. The sides were still far from an agreement, making Johnson unlikely to be with the Chiefs on Thursday when they leave for training camp in River Falls, Wis., or Friday, when they will practice for the first time.
The Chiefs Defensive Linemen Appear in Reality TV Show
This may be the ideal Sunday morning post. Here are two clips of Tank Tyler and Turk McBride, who we should just get used to calling Tank & Turk as if it was one person. This is something about a reality TV demo.
Chiefs NT Tank Tyler: 'Why wait? We have to aim high'
"I'm kinda the anchor in the middle. I'm right in front of the center so i'm holding him up. I got close to contact which is great for me. I can attack faster. I have to be on the guard all the time. I'm thinking I'm gonna play a little bit of everything, from down in the nose tackle out to three technique on third down."
Kansas City Chiefs NT Tank Tyler: 'We can't allow them to score'
"The thing that gets to me is when the offense got things going scoring a touchdown and pushes us ahead in the game, our defensive mentality, I feel that it has out of this world for the other team not to score because now the game is dependent on us. The offense put us in the position to be leading the game and we can't allow them to score. "We let them do that repeatedly yesterday on a few drives. That kind of disturbed me."
Chiefs Make Changes at Right Tackle, Nose Tackle
There's also a new starter at nose tackle: Ron Edwards Tank Tyler has been the No. 1 nose tackle since the beginning of the season and started the first two games. Edwards got the starting nod against the Eagles on Sunday.
Chiefs Work Out Three Defensive Tackles
We're not quite sure if this means Todd Haley is unhappy with the nose tackle position. It appears that he's at least willing to search for an upgrade, or maybe just depth to supplement the current tackles Tank Tyler and Ron Edwards. I've previously given my support to Tyler who appears to have the tools to win the job.

There was a post
on here about 3 weeks ago where we were trying out 3 NT. Think one was from LSU a couple of years ago.
right, and william joseph
problem was the lack of a NT with starting experience.
interesting, but I love it…I just LOVE the move, we need picks…I know people are sick of hearing it but we actually have a scouting department now
A 5th or a 6th..
I hardly think that is a good deal. How could you be this “Mastermind” if you loss value like that. Its not like he has been a slouch this season either. 22 tackles in what 3 starts. I hope it is more then a 5th or 6th. Otherwise, I would even Question whether people have exagerated all the hype about Pioli.
even a 5th is not that high, and Tyler was a 3rd ...
although it does give us an extra pick that COULD be packaged in a trade or whatever later on down the road
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
tyler was a 3rd but i don't know
if his performance has been worthy of his draft slot. i’m not crazy about this trade because you don’t normally find real good players in the 5th or 6th rounds
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.
Harry S. Truman
right, which is why it doesn't seem like such a great deal on the surface
at least right now
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
B. Carr was a 5th rounder.
Although he was probably the exception, and not the rule. I think Kolby Smith was also a fifth rounder, but the jury is still out on that pick. I think this trade really boils down to KC needing a dominant NT and both Edwards and Tyler are not the guy. Therefore, lets trade the one that still has some value. Edwards and whatever other NT they sign will hold down the fort until next year when a legitiamte NT is obtained
by Fourstrike89 on Oct 19, 2009 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions
precisely, exception not the rule ... not that talent can't be had in lower rounds
case in point: Ryan Not Very Irrelevant Now Succop … you just have to get very, very lucky to find said talent …
it’s all a crapshoot, you never know which one will work, which one won’t, it’s all a “best guess” thing … in theory (only in theory) the higher round picks are better players/more talent and have a better chance to succeed (or at least a higher % of them succeed) but there’s NEVER a guarantee no matter how high the pick
you pay your dime and you take your chances
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
yep,
and based on Tanks production so far, I am ready to try the crapshoot with a fifth round pick. I would say that Tank is a known commodity at this point.
by Fourstrike89 on Oct 19, 2009 9:28 PM CDT up reply actions
its a pick who cares what round we can always trade up
things happen we can also use a couple picks to get better players in a package deal either way pioli is making moves to better our team tank was nothing very special he was decent

this is good for him though.
new start, and he was born in north carolina.
wow a team without a NT, sorry Ron Edwards, trades a DT...interesting
he does fit the 4-3 a bit better.
wonder how many trades are on the way considering
NO ONE saw this one coming, I thought maybe we wouldnt sign him or cut him at the end of the year…but deal him? how is he even worth a pick…cool…ed johnson wasnt
i did
predicted back when they brought in the other linemen on that post…ok gloating done for the night.
by MountainManMike on Oct 20, 2009 12:16 AM CDT up reply actions
what do u think the pick is
do you think a 4th is too high
i feel like hes worth more to us
then a 6th, i hope its a 5th
I think hes worth more to the fans, but to the actual team? I never saw much, Dunno
but thigpen was only a 5…and he started in the nfl at QB and performed well enough
I dont remember where i saw it
but he was 2nd leading tackler by DT last week
I hear that
I just believe hes a 4-3 DT, I think this team needs a 3-4 NT, look at SD and how their D suffers without williams, or titans minus haynesworth
I don't think that's right.
I think Tank was a 3-4 NT and we switched him to a 4-3 DT here and he struggled. Since we moved him back to his ‘natural’ position at NT, he looks like a whole different person.
Frankly, I’m not a fan of Ron Edwards and would’ve rather the Chiefs dealt him and continued to develop Tank as I feel Tank has more upside.
has Thigpin terms been announced?
I heard it was undisclosed (conditional) and speculated to be a 5th. Has it been confirmed to be a 5th?
by chrisclark_dfw on Oct 19, 2009 8:39 PM CDT up reply actions
6 probably makes sense
but i’m hoping pioli could pull off a 5th or higher. i mean the guy was a 3rd rounder and should have gone higher… 24 years old, strong as hell, no character issues in the nfl, a year of starting experience, can play in both the 3-4 and 4-3, played pretty decent this year.
yeah, I'm betting it's a 5 or a 4
we’ll see
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
Might it be conditional, based on how much/well Tank plays?
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Interesting
I wonder what they have in mind now for NT maybe a upcoming trade?
I was starting to wonder
if any trade news was going to break? Will there be more news comming???
...no more explicit signature...
by tomorrow's deadline I would assume a few guys will either be dealt or be really close to it
plus we now have a roster and a PS spot open

I don’t mind the trade, assuming there’s another NT in sight…

Hope we got more than a 5th rounder for him
I have no idea why they dropped Tank after that awesome 7 tackle game, but I really hope they aren’t just dishing out players from the former regime for 6th and 7th rounders just to unload them.

true, but we also dealt some later picks, Id be happy to take em for a guy we didnt have any future plans for. especially with a deep draft
our 2nd best ST player was a 7th round pick, and our top safety was one as well
Hmm
I think pioli already has his mind made up on suh. He was at the mizzou-nebraska game scouting. They’re going to get a NT for the 3-4.

I REALLY dont want to take ANOTHER DL
but….After seeing the difference in a 3-4 with a NT and without…where GREAT LB’s cant do ANYTHING without a good NT…see SD….
I think it may have to be a NT, then load up on OL talent.
If we take another DL in the first round
We better have made some damn good FA signings or trades for the O line. I’m sick of seeing so much of our first day draft stock going into D line. We have a hell of a lot of other needs.

Cody isn't good enough to justify that high of a pick.
He is late first or early second guy. He’s a two down NT.

The problem is we're probably going to draft pretty high.
In which case it is rare that other teams will trade for a high first round draft choice.
OK
All I’m saying is I think Cody will be a reach at #20. So if that’s our target we have to package some picks and move up to get him. No way should we take him with a top 10 pick. IMHO

I suspect he was already bringin' pretty much what Tank brought, and we'll see more of him in the middle.
But yeah, at 295, he’s not quite built like a NT. Thing is, KC was doing a lot of stunting and gap-shooting with Tank in there – more of a 4-3 under look and feel when he’s on the field. More of a true 3-4 look and feel with Edwards.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Wasn't that long ago that everyone was saying Tank was more of a NT type than anything else...
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Wow...
this was a huge surprise. Maybe they saw a bit more from the guys they worked out than they have from Tank. Good for him though. Hope it was at least a 4th rounder…a 5th seems ok and a 6th seems too low.
It depends I think
If Carolina called us, we have all the cards and Pioli doesn’t have to trade him. But if we called them shopping Tank around, it could be pretty low.
I dont think we called anybody...
We werent doing bad at the NT position…gotta be a 4th or 5th.

You can't tell me
No one saw this coming. The NT is the most important position in the 3-4. They’re going to get a real one. I just didn’t think they would trade until the off season.
by raiderhater77 on Oct 19, 2009 8:29 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I will be impressed if
Pioli pulls off a 5th rounder. That being said, I’m not sure I understand trading him. Doesn’t bother me a whole lot though.
Somebody will be here soon to replace him.
A big time nose tackle will be acquired one way or the other during the off season. What I am worried about is playing out the rest of this season.
Talked to Ron Edwards in the locker room yesterday
He was talking about how tough you have to be to play zero technique (NT) in the NFL. And it was brought up that the Chiefs rotate their d-tackles but Edwards was still out there quite a bit.
And he might have the biggest arms on the team.
I hope he stays for awhile, I like Ron Edwards
I do think those that feel we will acquire a NT may be a bit off, its TOUGH to just go get a starting NT…
There's your answer then - toughness
coaching staff questioned it for a while too. Good complementary player but we need a big time NT in the middle. If we get that, we have the makings of a dominant D-line
That's funny stagsdp
We are going to run the table now

talking to a buddy who lives in Baton Rouge, told him about the Tyler trade and the POSSIBILITY of KC starting 3 LSU D-Lineman
he mentioned that his favorite PRO team, the cough Patriots one time had 7 players from LSU on their team and it was called LSU north for a while
guess Pioli likes those LSU players
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
He's only drafted Jackson here
but might sign Favorite. He inherited others which may have been another reason Clark was able to get him!!
I'll throw this out there
Carolina stinks so a fifth round pick is going to be pretty high in that rd. Similar to KC’s. Good amo to move up a round or two.
not sure I love trading a 3rd rounder for a 5th or 6th rounder, but ah well
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
Exactly.
Especially a 3rd rounder who has been playing pretty well. It is no surprise that Carolina would want him.
Wouldn’t it be smarter to have 2 NTs?
Just sayin.

i will tend to agree with you 1970
if they don’t get another nt…we don’t know if there is more in the works here
Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.

my hunch is they'll sign one of the guys they've worked out
or someone else, or haul up someone from PS or shift someone around somewhere … it’s all just “see who can do what” this year anyway … wins are nice but secondary
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
There's no NT on the current PS.
Whoever thinks GALES (a (slow, imo) 260-pounder) is gonna play NT is nuts.
I’m not hidebound on “He was a 3rd-rounder.” It’s what he’s worth, NOW that matters. Personally, I thought he was productive enough to be worth more.
I really don’t think the Chiefs would trade Tyler if they thought they needed him. I don’t want to believe they’re writin’ off this season.
But maybe that “He seems like a really nice guy. I want to see the mean guy they drafted 3 years ago,” or words to that effect from Haley really did say they thought he lacked a mean streak that they wanted. I pooh-poohed that comment as just some of Haley’s dry humor, but maybe there was something behind it, like all the soap opera guys were sayin’.
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
I think they wrote off the season before it started
now maybe Haley didn’t like him for whatever reason, he was decent and for a 3rd rounder not horrible by any means IMNSHO

"wins are nice but secondary"
That just sounds ridiculous.

yeah it does
but that’s the way I think they’re looking at this season … firing Gailey when they did, not bothering to do anything with the O-Line in the offseason, the 2nd half of the Eagles game …
all adds up to “evaluate and go from there” … therefore, winning games are nice, yes, but of secondary (or even tertiary) importance right now
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
only if they're good ...
look,. we all know the season isn’t going to amount to much anyway, it’s an evaluation year anyway – like Cassel said: you play to evaluate the talent (or something like that) … so now we have an extra-extra pick, admittedly low, that maybe they can package with another pick for a plaer or a higher pick … see how it goes
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
this is weird upamtn
you and i agree on something…i don’t know what to do

well, you COULD stab your eyeballs out with an icepick ...
but then you’d miss the Chargers game
bad plan, don’t do it
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
I love it
keep stockpilling them picks im sure there are more to come
im willing to bet we get a couple mnf games next season as soon as they completely finish the new arrowhead the nfl just cant stand not showing off there new digs and if im not mistaken we will be the only ones cutting the ribbon on a new place
I hope you are right
and with this next draft im pretty sure we will be a good team.

It will be the only way I get to watch Chiefs games in Minnesota
Up here CBS is obsesses with showing us the Ravens.
That pigeon was pretty good on kickoff coverage
could show the Chiefs a thing or two about staying in their lanes…
The shot where they followed the pigeon downfield on the kickoff
and he landed at about the 20 yard line. He had the contain.
I just hope
That another gm and coach won’t be trading away all of the 2010 draft picks for more draft picks in a few years. Please let this be the draft.

j. russel..360 flip
man… i dont know u guys saw it or not but..fat boody russels spin move made me crack up.. was just wondering anybody else saw it or not…loololol
I don't know
I was thinking Tank was doing a good job. I can’t say I am behind this, Tank seemed like a pretty decent player and I doubt we will be able to replace him with a 5th round pick.

No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
think about this ... if Denver wins tonight vs Chargers ...
AND we win vs Chargers next week AND Jets beat Raiders next …
… we’’d be in a 3-way tie for Second Place
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
No. Ya gotta root for the Chargers.
It’s our main chance at winning the division.
Damn! Turnover!
C’Mon, Bolts!
No question. Otis Taylor should be in the Hall of Fame.
Wow this came out of nowhere to me
I guess all that speculation about DJ and Morgan was a diversion. Or maybe those trades are in the works as well. I thought Tank was getting a pretty good push this year and sounded like from his quotes in the press that he might have been stepping up into a leadership role.
Oh well, I guess he just wasn’t a true 3-4 NT. I think this also means we’ll be going DL in the 1st round AGAIN. I know NT is probably the most important position in the 3-4, but damn I’m sick of taking DL in the 1st round.

"taking DL in the 1st round" ... we should be used to it by now
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
You ain't kiddin'
But if it is truly the best move for the team, I’ll support it all the way. I’m excited to see how Haley, Pioli, and all the new scouting staff handle a draft that’s 100% their own since last year’s was kind of half new regime, half old. We’ll have plenty of draft picks to make the team into a new image!

I first and foremost want to say that I have read much of what the Joel Thorman has wrote on Arrowhead pride and find that he has insightful and intelligent views on the ongoings of the Chiefs and NFL in general. Much more than I know for sure.
To Cowboysnchrist, I agree with you that most fans were against the trade myself included but at the same time my devotion and belief in the Broncos organization left me comfortable with the move knowing that it was what was best for the team to the front office and coaching staff alike.
I do not want to come across as a troll to anyone on this website. To say the least my feathers were ruffled at those articles and i felt that some of the people on this site might be eating crow and took advantage of the oppurtunity to take a shot. (no pun intended).
Regardless of statistical prowess and W-L records when the Broncos go to Arrowhead and the tomahawk swinging fans it is always a game.
Much luck the rest of the season and future AFC west rivalry games (minus Bronco games of course)
another thing to have you even say that you dont believe it was a good trade hey that says volumes
it was a bad trade just watch when you play real teams you guys will lose . I will admit the biggest pick up you guys made was nolan the d cordinator he is the difference maker . but like i said you guys are pretenders this is not your year trust me .
FOUR F'S FIND UM FEEL UM FUGUM FORGET UM.
All in all
this is bullshit. Pioli’s had zero vision of “inheriting” this team and full intentions of blowing the sucker up. If I was Clark Hunt, I would feel like my money has been mismanaged
