The Philadelphia Eagles have added TE Tony Curtis and LB Curtis Gatewood to their roster. Curtis, of course, was with the Chiefs for just the 2009 offseason. Gatewood, however, played in six games for the Chiefs last year.
The Eagles previously added former Chiefs DE Jason Babin.
Three Chiefs in three weeks? After the last two years, that's wouldn't be my first strategy.
While we're on the subject, here's a complete update on the Chiefs six unrestricted free agents following the 2008 season.
- LB Pat Thomas - Signed a one year deal with the Buffalo Bills
- S Oliver Celestin - Signed with the UFL
- DE Jason Babin - Signed with the Eagles
- LB Rocky Boiman - Signed with the Titans
- S Jon McGraw - Signed contract with the Chiefs
- G Adrian Jones - Signed by the Houston Texans
And of course, the Chiefs three restricted free agents (Webb, Niswanger and Page) signed one year offers from the team. Webb was later cut.
Any chance one of these players turns out to be more than just a reserve player?

and he didn't pass his physical.
He’s not with any team at this time.

Quick Draw McGraw is pretty good on special teams.
Other than that these players aren’t noteworthy.
Except Rocky Boiman who will forever hold the title as Ugliest Chief Ever.

How can you say that...
Do you not remember Jason Dunn? Or Chris Bober? John Welbourne?? Good god man, how can you forget about Steve Bono?? I think Bono should go down as the Fugliest Chief EVER.

Curtis and babin are both decent players.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see both get some playing time this year.

McGraw and Babin
Seem to be the only names that really stand out to me. I think Babin can be good and McGraw seems to be a great special teams player which we desperately need so I am glad we kept him. But I agree, I don’t know how many players thrown away by a 6-26 team I would be picking up…
Go Chiefs!

this is also off topic but is anyone else worried that our starters haven’t been all playing at the same time. I think its time for bowe to start playing and practicing with the first team so he and cassel can get thier timing down because bowe will be the number one target. I think its time to start to gel together as a unit and get some chemistry going and with all the rotations i think it will be hard to do that. also i think this is a concern with the oline. how are they supposed to play together when they never know who is going to be beside them?

I doubt Gatewood will make the 53 man roster. Babin actually had a great game against the Colts in the second preseason game. He’s got a real shot to make the team now.
The Eagles have some injury problems at TE, so Curtis has a decent shot by default. If some other TEs come available after cuts that could change.
