Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

The Kansas City Star breaks down the Brian Waters situation.

My Take: The video take by Chiefs beat writer Adam Teicher is right on. Waters may want out, but unless Kansas City general manager Scott Pioli wants to trade or release him, Waters will be stuck. Pioli will hold his ground. If he wants Waters in Kansas City, Waters will stay in Kansas City no matter how the Pro Bowl guard feels about it.

i for one

am hoping that brian suddenly has a johnson-esque change of heart. i think larry found some security in a team that was willing to genuinely look past him as a person (on every single level), and focus entirely on what he can bring to the football team. it may surprise waters when he first steps on the field for mandatory OTAs to find out that he will face no resistance from the coaches and can truly interact with them. i kind of got the impression that the front office’s refusal to speak to waters was more due to respect to the front office, and the work/schedule they were undertaking, and not about a diss to brian himself. it may open his eyes and allow him to focus on playing pro-bowl caliber.

maybe it won’t. who knows. i don’t see him getting traded though. right now he’s the cornerstone of a pretty shaky offensive line. and with the haley/pioli combo’s history, i don’t see them herm-ing up the line

Sorry to sound negative but . . .

Larry Johnson is only “playing nice” for one thing . . . His 2009 paycheck. If he is released, he won’t make half as much for another team and maybe less.. His heart has not changed but if the money can motivate him, I’ll all for it . . .

Agreed

But that’s fine by me….

its still just whitlocks report

Other than Whitlock quoting a “source” I still haven’t seen anything from Waters on this. We’ll find out in a week when mandatory mini camp starts. Haley says they know where they are at with all the guys missing and feel comfortable with it, so who knows. We definitely need the stud dog at RG.

Hint

Waters likely is the source. Him and Whitlock are apparently buddies.

agreed

I’m not losing sleep until he skips MANDATORY workouts or training camp.

I think he’ll get over it.

Especially if the Chiefs bring in a veteran RT (Jon Jansen, please) he has the opportunity to be the best lineman on a much improved unit that could have some fun winning this year.
