Chiefs to Hold Teleconference to Announce Free Agent Signing

Pace_orlando_41672_medium Bobby-engram-150x200_medium T1_holt1_si_medium

Thanks to a tip from LTownChiefsFan, we've learned that the Kansas City Chiefs have scheduled a 4:30 CST teleconference to announce the signing of a free agent.

Of course, continuing with the theme of mystery, we don't know who that player is.

There is some speculation going on in this FanPost. With a teleconference scheduled, it's unlikely that this is a no-name signing.  

Kent Babb over at the Red Zone is in on the speculation game and even placed his odds on who the signing might be:

1. Pace, 4-1
2. Holt, 5-1
3. Engram, 6-1

The guys at 810 are thinking it might be a wide receiver.  Bobby Engram visited the Chiefs at the beginning of the month.

Continue the speculation in this thread and we'll have some more information on the mystery signing shortly after the announcement.

Could Be

He left without a contract. And I think another team was interested…hang on.

by Joel Thorman on Mar 17, 2009 3:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

As of 5 days ago

We hadn’t offered a contract.

But again a guy like Davis doesn’t seem to warrant a teleconference.

What about

Isn’t being knocked down, maybe Scotty 2 Hottie has the secret knock? If Pioli is anything like Billy B then the guys he will go after are the guys who has kicked his ass in the past..enter..Marvin

I know what you mean…

by Joel Thorman on Mar 17, 2009 3:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

How starved for info are we?

I am literally going crazy here wondering who this player is.

“Okay, PT, it’s 3:45 on a Tuesday. Get it together.”

by Joel Thorman on Mar 17, 2009 3:58 PM CDT reply actions  

haha yeah

Pioli has the Darth Vader death grip on any info coming out of 1 arrowhead dr

by readANDgold58 on Mar 17, 2009 3:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah I know...

Lol, but if he has similar success here in KC I could care less what information I find out ahead of time really.

by bigknoxy on Mar 17, 2009 4:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

I really don't think it's Bobby Engram

Why would we work him out, wait a month, and then sign him? That doesn’t seem like the type of player you’d hold a teleconference for.

by Vince D on Mar 17, 2009 3:58 PM CDT reply actions  

Agreed

Maybe we would hold a teleconference for him but working him out, waiting two weeks, then signing him seems strange.

Maybe we had our eye on another player, couldn’t get him, now are going back to Engram.

by Joel Thorman on Mar 17, 2009 3:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed.

Per ESPN
Seattle coach Mike Holmgren said Friday that test results showed a virus and Graves’ disease caused Engram’s hyperactive thyroid and, subsequently, an accelerated heartbeat and fatigue.

Pace or Holt or both. I could get excited about that. Engram… not so much.

I’m not even searching anymore. Maybe the Red Zone would have it early but if they don’t know by now I doubt it.

Latest from Rotoworld

Teams don’t usually call pressers to announce signings of bit players, so the Kansas City Star speculates that the Chiefs could be introducing Orlando Pace, Torry Holt, or Bobby Engram. Stay tuned for another update.

Pace always hurt, Engram old and drop balls, Holt might be only one worth it

by Nelly on Mar 17, 2009 4:10 PM CDT reply actions  

+1

Pace did stay pretty healthy last year though… and if I remember correctly Willie Roaf had an injury history when we picked him up.

by Vince D on Mar 17, 2009 4:12 PM CDT up reply actions  

Pace has been healthy his whole career

Minus ’06 and ’07, which of course is on the tail end of his career.

by Joel Thorman on Mar 17, 2009 4:15 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also

At the end of the day, Engram is an upgrade over our current #2.

I can't take credit but how about

Jason Taylor? Its a position of need for sure.

Chiefs sign three FA's

Chiefs Sign Engram, Beisel & Copper
March 17, 2009 – Bob Gretz | No Comments

After being quiet for two weeks, the Chiefs are getting busy in the market for unrestricted free agents.

The team announced the addition of three new UFAs on Tuesday afternoon. They are:

WR Bobby Engram, a 13-year veteran who is 36 years old and played last season for the Seattle Seahawks. He came into the league as a second-round choice of the Chicago Bears in the 1996 NFL Draft out of Penn State. Over his career, Engram has caught 645 passes for 7,690 yards and 35 TD passes. He’s 5-10, 192 pounds.

LB Monty Beisel, an eight-year NFL veteran who came into the league as a Chiefs fourth-round draft choice in 2001. Beisel, who will be 31 in August played last season with Arizona. He played his first four seasons with the Chiefs, left in free agency to sign with the New England Patriots where he played for a season and then landed with the Cardinals.

WR Terrance Copper, a five-year veteran who turned 27 last week and played last season with the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens. The North Carolina native played at East Carolina and came into the NFL in 2004 as a college free agent with the Dallas Cowboys. He’s 6-0, 207 pounds and has caught 46 passes for 600 yards and six touchdowns over his career.

Why not?

They’re announcing the signing of a player. Doesnt mean it has to be a new player. They haven’t “signed” him to a long term deal, which they obviously intend to do.They never had a presser for him. Why would they for any of these 3?

Why?

Does it seem that all we are doing is getting special team players? We are going to have a great unit. Beisel is a good special team guy. Engram I guess for veteran leadership, and Copper…I don’t know!
