Chiefs Have Worked Out Former Bears WR David Terrell Twice

Last month we told you about the Kansas City Chiefs working out former top ten draft pick David Terrell. Head coach Todd Haley was the Chicago Bears receivers coach when he was drafted in 2001.
Terrell, Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel and Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, among others, worked out over the summer so it's possible and/or likely that Cassel vouched for Terrell according to Brad Biggs of the National Football Post.
He previously spent time with the Patriots so he's got a Scott Pioli connection.
Biggs reports that the Chiefs brought him in for two workouts within about a month's span. A source told Biggs that he looked good and, if it weren't for the Minnesota Vikings releasing Bobby Wade and the Chiefs subsequently signing him, Terrell had a good shot to land with the Chiefs.
He says his attitude is different than it was in Chicago, where he felt the organization was against him. He had the physical tools, and is regaining them now, but the attitude wasn't quite there. In fact, he led the Bears in penalties while in Chicago.
The only workout for Terrell and the Chiefs that has been reported came on August 3rd when he was in along with receivers Amani Toomer and D.J. Hackett. A poll we conducted at the time showed only 10% of voters wanted Terrell over the others.
If any injuries occur to the Chiefs receiving corps, then look for Terrell to be a serious candidate for the Chiefs 53 man roster.

Good Lord...
the only players they should be working out at this point are O-LINEMEN!!!!!…im sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that he has a Patriots connection….get off the ego trip Pioli…and Belichecks nut sack too!
Who?
Which O-lineman would you like them to work out? The league in general needs O-linemen and I can’t think of one that would be an upgrade over our linemen. Well it wouldn’t take much, but look how many we dumped and signed already. Its not like they haven’t tried to address the situation. Yes they haven’t signed any big name 12 year injuried vets for way too much money, but who can blame them for that?

your right...
maybe thats why they should have address this need in the draft when they had the 3rd overall pick instead of reaching for a guy that every other team in the league projected going late first round/early second…I mean, there was only about 5 O linemen taken in the first round this yr…
right because the ones drafted this past year
are making a huge impact in the league now. if we picked one of those o-linemen it would have been a wasted pick. not too mention, while it had holes, no one, not even us fans, thought that the o-line would be this bad back in april. at least half of the fan base here at AP were all for going Curry or some other D player as last year our D was worse the o-line. pioli brought in goff to anchor down that right side, unfortunately that hasn’t panned out, but it’s not like he didn’t try.
"no one, not even us fans, thought that the o-line would be this bad back in april"
wanna bet?
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisiton!
Can't Argue
I can’t argue with you there, but I think we would just be complaining about run defense instead of the offensive line. I do think it was more important to protect our franchise quarteback. It will be interesting to see how the rookie olinemen do this year. I think bringing Monroe and Albert back together would have made sense, but what do I know? I am really excited about our dline next year. I’ve been impressed with Dorsey at the DE position and I think tyson will be a heck of player in a year or so. I’m also a tank fan but I can see us signing another NT next year also.
Geez this is a bad situation
on one hand we need o-line men, but there are none available and it’s not all the lines fault when theres no-one to throw the ball to, so then you got to find a receiver; and the only ones available are guys that couldn’t even win a starting gig on the donkeys
