Chiefs Free Agency Roster Moves Summary

by Chris Thorman on Mar 11, 2009 10:31 AM CDT in 2009 Kansas City Chiefs Offseason

Additions	Subtractions	UFA Re-signed	UFA not Re-Signed	Visited/ Interested
QB Matt Cassel	CB Pat Surtain	S Jon McGraw	LB Pat Thomas	SS Keith Davis
LB Mike Vrabel	LB Donnie Edwards		G Adrian Jones	WR Keary Colbert
WR C.J. Jones	QB Damon Huard		S Oliver Celestin	WR Bobby Engram
LB Darrell Robertson	TE Michael Merritt		LB Rocky Boiman	LB Clark Haggans
CB Travis Daniels			DE Jason Babin

Since not all of you get to obsessively check Arrowhead Pride for hours a day, here's a roster roundup to help people get caught up.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed/traded for six players; cut four players; re-signed one unrestricted free agent; and had a number of players in for free agent visits.

The Chiefs have 68 players on the roster. And as of right now, we'll add six players through the draft (possibly more if you don't forget about compensatory picks, which I think we'll get at least one).

That leaves about a half dozen or so players that the Chiefs will add at some point this off season. The current roster is far from concrete. Players currently on the roster will be cut as others at their position become available or they've worn out their potential with Todd Haley.

I've linked back to our discussions about some of those players in case you want to catch up.

compensatory

And who do you suppose we would get a pick from?
I just don’t see it.

Weigman...

He started all year and Wilkerson played a lot, hopefully that will be a 5 or 6.

That's what I was thinking

Weigmann or Wilkerson.

Wish we

would have retained Wilkerson. He’s got a lot of good football ahead of him

Looking back on it

We released him at about the worst possible time.

Didn't we cut Weigmann and Wilkerson?

I don’t think you get comp picks for people you cut, only people you lose to free agency.

by Vince D on Mar 11, 2009 1:42 PM CDT up reply actions

Wilkerson was lost to FA

Weigmann was cut

by KansasCityShuffle on Mar 11, 2009 1:53 PM CDT up reply actions

Weigmann was a FA

Jones and Robertson

Gotta think these pick ups are just so Pioli can see guys he’s familiar with in a training camp atmosphere compete against guys he hasn’t seen, don’t really see either one making the roster.

Isn't Robertson a Linebacker?

Marley will be walking soon...she could probably play Linebacker better than some of the guys we had.

by PVChiefsfan on Mar 11, 2009 11:17 AM CDT up reply actions

That's what the post on him says...

But I’ve never seen or heard of the guy till we signed him.

by Chief Crazy on Mar 11, 2009 11:18 AM CDT up reply actions

Yes he is

I’m changing it now. Darn FOX Sports…

And I agree with you on them not making the final roster

We had room

for Weston Dacus, Erik Walden, and Curtis Gatewood at different times of the season last year. So I think there will definitely be a spot for Robertson. Jones? Notsomuch…..

I forgot all about compensatory picks...

It’s not looking good for Babin or McGraw, who I was hoping we’d see wear Red & Gold one more year

by KansasCityShuffle on Mar 11, 2009 11:20 AM CDT reply actions

We resigned McGraw.

But I was hoping for Babin, too.

by JComp11 on Mar 11, 2009 11:30 AM CDT up reply actions

Pretty much
