Report: Chiefs, Jaguars Talking Trade for QB Tyler Thigpen

Is going to be less important in the coming years. More and more college teams are running a spread-style offense and I beleive that is going to be yet another adjustment in the transistion to the NFL form college. With that said, yes he is worth more than a fifth rounder. I like 3rd round or so. It is a transistion that any qb they draft and develop is going to begin, and thiggy already has started.

I would be for this trade if they get good compensation. It should be a 1st – 4th round pick depending on starts and playing time. If Thigpen starts most of the season for them then a first, if he is just a backup then a 4th is fine.

If they are just trying to get a draft pick for him why not keep him this year and use him as a slasher in some packages and build up his value.

Cut or trade Croyle. His value is not likely to increase as he won’t play at all this year. We can actually use Thiggy for stuff and show the value of his wheels.

If we aren’t going to get anything for Thiggy until next years draft I say up his value and use him as a weapon to help the team this year.

I’ll be pissed if we trade him to Jacksonville, don’t get anything out of it until next year and he comes in durring our game against the Jags and burns us on the Wildcat.

And then if they don’t budge give him up for the 5th rounder, then run away laughing

I take the time to read the Community Survey do some work and this happens.

The Chiefs are not gonna run arrowspread anymore so I dont think thigpen has any place on this team. I think if we get a fifth that would be a great trade I guess i am of the opinion that thigpen was gonna get cut from this team anyway

Thigpen in the Wildcat is going to force the D to play 11 on 11 instead of 11 on 10.

Him not being our standard QB makes him very dangeous. If he rolls out the D is going to have to keep a check on him. Someone is going to get single coverage out of it.

I think I could live with that. Even though I’d like to see the Chiefs use his skills.

if the Jags are are saying 5th and we are saying 3rd…depending on how bad they want him, we’ll end up with a 4th,.

good runner, inaccurate passer. Without Gonzalez last year Thigpens passing stats would have been a lot worse

That means we essentially got Cassel, Vrabel, AND a 3rd round pick for our 2nd and our 3rd string QB. Not bad.

all the guy does is score TD’s. I dont know why I get so much diagreement on this but seriously. Look at the #‘s his and Cassel’s were about the same especially the TD/INT margin. Where Cassel has the edge is in the W/L category. Well If Thiggy small wasn’t playing with Girl Scouts last season and had more NE talent we’d be singing a different tune.

I honestly believe the only reason we are letting him go is because he doesn’t fit Haley’s style, it has nothing to do with talent. He would fit in great with what the jags do on offense.

I say 3rd round if not second.

a great pickup for the Jags

I’d take a 5th.

Yes, I like Thigpen… but, the Chiefs have too many QBs right now, and not enough draft picks.

But if the Chiefs can get a 3rd or 4th rounder for him they should jump on it immediately. Thigpen is very unlikely to unseat Matt Cassel this season and the Chiefs need the draft pick.

I’d be sure our QB’s will be protected this year, before I got rid of him. If thepowers that be feel that Cassel is safe, the a 3rd or 4th would be great for us, and the Jags would get a good player.

Now look. Teams are not sold that Thigpen will be cut or that he would clear waivers far enough for them to get a shot at getting him (Jax). I remember simply asking what trade value we could get for him and NO ONE responded. Everyone just said I was crazy and that Thigpen would be cut so no one would trade for him.

His recent desperate grab at lineman from Miami was too little too late. Getting good value for Thigpen, thus negating his trade with Miami would make me happy

“Dingle” Martin is going to sign with the Broncos… Wow they must be DESPERATE!!!

Would you take a 5th round pick for any 3rd string player on the Chiefs?

Like…Cameron Goldberg, Daryl Harris, Derek Lokey, DaJuan Morgan, Demorrio Williams

I think you would, without blinking an eye.

Yes, Thigpen played pretty well last year, but he’s not seemingly in the plans for this year… so why not take what you can get for him?

He and Tony G were the only thing that made last season barable to watch. I hope he does well.

The guy that broke this is a NFL blogger that is located in DC… How did he get the scoop on this?

If we get a 3rd – Goodbye Thiggy, thanks for last year
Less than a 3rd – Keep him, build packages using him in the wildcat.

They say the Chiefs are looking for a mid round pick for Thigpen, and they didn’t seem surprised at all about the asking price. Which tells me this just maybe the fair market price for Him. Normally when they think it is a stead for one side or the other they blow it out of proportion.

there are other teams interested inhim that have been scouting him and were hoping he would be cut.

Pioli might have caugt wind of this and released and intentionally leaked that the Jags were interested to see if he could rouse up some competition.

Thiggy could end up somewhere other than Jacksonville.

And the price is right I don’t see a real problem dealing Thigpen. And Who knows what maybe on the Jags cut list that might get added to the deal…or some other team willing to add Thigpen.

Jacksonville has been in contact with Tampa Bay, too, about its quarterbacks. Minnesota could eventually shop one of its quarterbacks as well, with several league execs believing Tarvaris Jackson has the best chance of being someone put on the trade market.

I like Thigpen and what he did for us last year, However, I do not see him as a long term Chief. There are other QB’s out there that are about to get released, We have to get the best value out of Him while we can. It’s all about supply and demand right now there’s a demand for him, after a few get released there won’t be as much thus his value will drop big time. Don’t get too greedy, get fair value for him while you can. before it may be too late, I mean come on the Donkeys are going to sign Martin for crying out loud.

Hey, I love Thiggy. He was the only bright bulb in last year’s darkness. That said, he’s the odd man out int he new regime. I’m fine with Cassel, Croyle and Guttierez. Get something while you can.

1. He’ll never have more value than he does now.

2. Getting something for nothing is how great GMs win (take note of GMs that do the opposite, like Dayton Moore).

3. He eliminates any conversation among idiot Chiefs fans about him being a legitimate option as a starter. ::rolleyes::

Maybe KC would take a lower pick if JAX could sweeten the deal with an additional player (WR/OT)?

He’s worth at least a 4th, and good on Pioli for negotiating high(a 3rd), rather than the carl move of taking anything. We don’t have to trade Thiggy, so we hold all the cards in any perspective trade.

quote in Fanshots

Pardon me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Jared Allen a fifth rounder? I’d take a fifth, easily, but there’s no reason why they can’t work an upgrade into the trade based on stats.

This is a business, not an extended Mexican family. If we don’t need him, we need to trade him if the price is right. Someone above made THE point: Thigpen is a luxary on a team that has a looot of needs.

Besides, Thigpen is a question mark just like every other guy on this team. We won’t know what we have until we get him into some real games with the preparation of real NFL coaches, and not the coddling of Herm and his CareBears. I’d like to think that this regime would put Thiggy into a lot more positions to win, but we really don’t have the time to find out. That would be a step backward and we’re trying to move foward.

We really really need those roster spots and we need to jump any and all opportunites to upgrade this team now.
