Chiefs Reportedly Work Out Four Players Including Three Former Patriots

Would be good additions to our receiving corps. Surprised we haven’t brought in Woods earlier

For some reason that sounds familiar

If so, that makes his fall pretty rapid and pretty far, assuming speculation is correct.

Sign that guy.

they seem better than any of our current PS/bottom o’ the roster scrubs right now. I also would probably get Alexander too, he seems better than langford or washington right now

 Gerald Alexander was a stud at Boise State.

I think Aiken would be a good #2 (and then a good #3, because D.Bowe a GREAT #2, and we’ll eventually find our AMAZING #1. Haha!)-

But Chambers as our #3 and mentoring our WR corps is priceless. He knows he’s near the end of his career. Let him play when we call for it, but we should develope Aiken in our system. He was pretty good across from Randy Moss… Give the kid a shot while hanging on to Chambers.

Sam Aiken – As a senior in 2002, Aiken had 68 catches for 990 yards, both school records, as well as four touchdowns. Aiken was drafted in the fourth round (127th) overall of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He was primarily a special teams player in his five seasons for the Bills, covering kicks and punts for a Bobby April-coached unit that was consistently among the best in the league. Aiken was named a special teams captain of the Patriots following the loss former special teams ace Larry Izzo in free agency.

Kelley Washington -He was taken in the 10th round of the June 1997 baseball draft by the Florida Marlins and signed as a shortstop. Washington spent four years in the minors.
 Washington spent two seasons at the University of Tennessee. As a 22-year-old freshman in 2001, he caught 70 passes for 1080 yards and seven touchdowns and made the freshman All-American team.

Pierre Woods – He registered 92 tackles, 26 sacks, five forced fumbles and one interception during hisenior campaign in High School.
Woods was signed by the New England Patriots after going undrafted in the 2006 NFL Draft.
•Woods’ total of 44 special teams tackles since joining the Patriots in 2006 is more than any other Patriots player over that span from 2006-08 (Larry Izzo, 43).

Gerald Alexander – Winner of the "Iron Bronco" Strength Award given to the football program’s strongest athlete. He was selected from Boise State in the 2nd round of the 2007 NFL Draft as the 61st overall selection by the Detroit Lions. On June 26th 2009. He was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars, for Dennis Northcutt.
Career totals include 153 tackles (104 solo), four INTs, 2.0 sacks, five forced fumbles, 11 special teams tackles, one fumble recovery and 10 passes defensed
 

Those three players are all special teamers. Aiken was our special teams captain last season and has stone hand. Kelley Washington was a gunner and was buried on the depth chart in 2007. Pierre Woods was inept at OLB and was mediocre on special teams.

None of them are offensive/defensive starters.

I think there are concerns with kickoff coverage. Some of it is probably due to Succop struggling to get depth AND hang time, but KC’s coverage unit on kickoffs has also looked pretty leaky.

Haley’s not kidding when he says that special teams was a significant factor in the decision, but I’m betting it has NOTHING to do with Chambers. I think maybe Copper is pushing Chambers for playing time, but this is unrelated to the roster-churning at the bottom of the depth chart (unless one of these prospects really wows).
