I wouldnt mind picking Chambers up

Atleast he can hold onto the ball. I just go back to that hit Page unloaded on him last year and he held on.

that was the reason they released him

at least this year, he’s been unable to hold onto the ball…I remember seeing him drop several easily catchable balls during the Chargers-Broncos game. He has 4 official dropped passes this year (12th in league), 1 behind Bowe, who is 5th.

hmm didnt realize that

I guess I just based that off that one play…

wow.. that seems odd...

I wonder if they are doing a roster shuffle like the Pats did a couple weeks back… or if he’s really out of there.

I can’t imagine he will clear waivers

* 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

does he really have to go through waivers?

i thought as a vested veteran when you got cut you became a free agent immediately

unless it has to do with it being after the trade deadline

Where do the Chiefs stand priority wise?

by worc on Nov 2, 2009 2:43 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

3rd, if I remember right

Detroit
St Louis
KC

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 2:44 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

He wouldn't get by St Louis would he?

by SayHeyWerd on Nov 2, 2009 2:47 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

doubt it

they have next to nothing in the WR dept

Chambers ='s

a vet that knows an opponents offense. Welcome to KC?

I'd cut bobby engram for him

cant hurt bringing him in

but i dont think he gets past stl or even det for that matter.

by MountainManMike on Nov 2, 2009 2:52 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Yes, please.

Presuming he makes it to us on the waiver wire, I’d gladly take him over some of the “22 guys off the street” we’re holding onto right now.

sorry there a new order every week based on wins tampa be nymber 1 then there is like 5 1 win teams

have no clue where chiefs be

by kchayden on Nov 2, 2009 2:55 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

According to the NFL.com standings ...

It would be:
1) Bucs
2) Rams
3) Browns
4) Titans
5) Chiefs
6) Lions

That is, if their overall league standings are reflective of the waiver wire listings.

by JacinB on Nov 2, 2009 3:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

most of those teams need a WR

he prob. wont even make it to us

by tomahawk44 on Nov 2, 2009 3:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

maybe we can pick up their scraps? especially if they have patriot ties :(

by worc on Nov 2, 2009 3:22 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

plus hes not worth 2.4 million for 9 games sorry

hes to old and slow

by kchayden on Nov 2, 2009 2:56 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Sorry

He didn’t play for the Patriots so he will not be joining the Chiefs.

by raiderhater77 on Nov 2, 2009 3:12 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

he did play for Miami, which is Parcells' team...

by stagdsp on Nov 2, 2009 3:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

before Parcells was there though....:)

by tomahawk44 on Nov 2, 2009 3:15 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

31 years old

no one will take that 2.4 mil hit, he would help us, but really….kind of pointless to bring him in at this point in his career….I can see a couple teams very interested, playoff teams, maybe a team like the steelers, the jaguars, a team that has a chance at the playoffs…heck, denver would fit.

by SDChief on Nov 2, 2009 3:15 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

we wont pick him up

by jrcnc on Nov 2, 2009 3:18 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Can he play Center or Guard?

If not I will take a pass…. Chambers has been in decline for the past couple years. None of our receivers will reach full potential with our line in shambles.

Yet I agree with stag… if he is picked up drop Bobby Engram.

by ravenhawk on Nov 2, 2009 3:27 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

Im guessing they released him because

1. he hasn’t been reliable…He’s barley caught any balls this season.
2. Malcom Floyd is emerging and im pretty sure he will take the #2 spot at WR.
3. They are making room for a LB.

by Wrestler189s on Nov 2, 2009 4:06 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

The Story Goes

he was released because of;

a) the emergence of Malcolm Floyd
b) the play of Legadu Nanee

I’m surrounded by Chargers idiots out here and they provided me with the scoop…

Put this in your pipe and smoke it:
1. Chiefs will be at least 8-8 and vie for division champs
2. DJ will break out and finally have his year
3. LJ returns to form
4. DBowe drops will reduce

by kcchiefsfan72 on Nov 2, 2009 7:11 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs

He'd be a perfect fit for the rest of the stone hands receivers we have

no thanks.. please no more scrap heaps.

by golfbard on Nov 2, 2009 4:09 PM CST reply actions 0 recs

I would take him

Any guy available that is an upgrade anywhere on the roster should be brought in….imo.

We signed Engram and Toomer…..Pioli or Haley doesnt have any issues with older WR.
