Possible call-ups from Chiefs farm club

Some discussion here on Patriots FA. Seems like these guys aren't very high on Mankins. I've never been too hot on Watson but sounds like he could be a good fit for KC. I think we're just used to TE being a very important position but looks like it isn't so important to Weis/Haley scheme. Maybe Watson and Cottam are good enough system guys that can block and catch.

Most important of all, these guys are probably accurate that Wilfork will be the Pats signing priority. I guess the wildcard for me, though, is that the Pats always seem to be so-so on guys that are getting a bit older. They may not want to pay this guy in dollars or years what he might ask.

wilfork will be franchised

which doesn’t mean we can’t acquire him (a la matt cassel) but i don’t think the pats let him walk. we shall see

The only players I hurt with my words are the ones who have an inflated opinion of their ability. I can't worry about that.

probably

Again, I just wonder how much money and years they want to give a veteran. They seem to do a good job of flipping guys at that point. But, he is the most important guy on their FA list so seems likely to franchise. If they do that, we would have to trade to get him right? Or does it just give them the opportunity to match any offer we bring? We’ve really got nothing to trade (that they would want) other than draft picks.

they can trade him (remember cassel was franchised when we traded for him)

whoever trades for him would just assume the franchise tender responsibility on top of losing whatever is given up for compensation

love the title!

Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!

I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.

thanks!

yeah, pretty proud of that. We need to start recalibrating our thoughts and comments to the coming new reality. One team is in decline and a new dynasty is rising.
