A Couple Of Cardinals Could Draw Chiefs Interest

We've learned over the last year that sometimes in the NFL it's who you know and not what you know. Chiefs GM Scott Pioli seemed to take a liking to former Patriots and head coach Todd Haley appeared to keep his eye on a few former Cardinals.

Today there's word out of Arizona that one prominent member of the secondary could be on his way out and another will be a restricted free agent.

Star-divide

Antrel Rolle could be released

Rolle is due about $12 million in 2010 and approximately $4 million of that comes in the form of a bonus due next week. Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com expects the team to part ways with Rolle in order to avoid paying that bonus.

It's assumed that Rolle is interested in staying but it would be surprising if the Cardinals kept him on with $12 million due to him. They've been talking long-term contract but haven't made significant progress, Urban reports.

The Dolphins have been a rumored landing spot for Rolle should he get released. He's from The U and the Dolphins could need his services.

The Chiefs have Jarrad Page and Jon McGraw manning the free safety spot. Page ended the season on IR and is set to become a restricted free agent.

Steve Breaston likely to get a first round tender

The Chiefs have a perceived need at the receiver position and, depending on the status of Chris Chambers, who is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent, could be in the market.

Breaston, Haley's former receiver in Arizona and a restricted free agent, is expected to receive a first round tender. At that price, the Chiefs likely wouldn't be interested. 

However, if the Cardinals are willing to take less, I could imagine Haley and the Chiefs would be curious to see what his market value is.

Antrel Rolle would be a very good pick up.

He is a good cover safety.

The first 3 picks of the draft will be defense. Pioli loves him some defense.

Rolle

Rolle would be an amazing pickup…I don’t see Breaston as a #1 receiver. If paid a high price for him I don’t think I would be happy with that.

especially when expected asking price for boldin is only a 3rd and a 5th.

I like Rolle,

Cardinals can’t afford to pay a S that kind of money.

Well a second safety they already pay Adrian Wilson a pretty large contract.

Boy,

that would solve some problems wouldn’t it?

The Breaston deal probably won’t happen and I will have lost any faith in the Cardinal organization if they let him go…That would be a stupid move…especially with Boldin likely on his way out.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Feb 22, 2010 9:12 AM CST reply actions  

I think I would rather have Breaston than Rolle personally but...

…the cost may prove to be too much for either one.

Also if we do trade for Boldin, he is gonna want a new contract probably close to what Breaston will get. If we are gonna make a move, I would try to sign Breaston over trading 2 picks for Boldin.

My bold prediction and I think our best chance at moving down in the 1st. Bret Favre retires, Tavarris Jackson is not retained or leaves and the Vikings trade up, with our beloved Chiefs, for Jimmy Claussen.

WRITE IT DOWN!

Breaston

He will have a tender placed on him…most likely you are going to have to give up higher picks on Breaston

by groundedchevy on Feb 22, 2010 10:23 AM CST up reply actions  

It would be better for the long term for sure but...

Bringing in Boldin would be less expensive for now and he is sure to be productive for the next 3-4 years. I just think Breaston is too expensive for a team like us with so many needs. Getting Rolle would be a great move though and would be huge for us positioning for the draft.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Feb 22, 2010 9:47 AM CST reply actions  

I'm afraid Rolle may become exposed without an All-Pro in Adrian Wilson next to him.

Just something to think about.

You may be right about that but...

He’s still an upgrade for us. I could feel okay with Page and Rolle back there though…at least for now.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Feb 22, 2010 9:54 AM CST up reply actions  

You mean Rolle and Brown.

Trust me....

Don’t count Brown out…. even if Page comes back.

I guess you're right

Since Rolle is a FS. To be honest, that kind of lessens the appeal to me.

by Chiefsfan1970 on Feb 22, 2010 10:00 AM CST up reply actions  

I can't deny that...

If Berry were to fall to us AND we got Rolle…man, this would be a much improved secondary.

Sign em up! Easiest decision of the year!

Rolle, Berry, and Paige, Carr, and Flowers………….. WHOA!….. Best Secondary in the League Point.

Exactly Big Red...

There is no way Pioli will ever have that kind of money invested in the secondary. Not when we already have an UBER-expensive D-line that still needs some money thrown at it.

Oh, you didn't know about him? He isn't very well know around here so I can understand.

He’s a good reciever but alot of players and coaches say he smells bad when he sweats so he doesn’t play a whole lot. They say he kinda smells like condensed cream of deuce soup. ( ;

Bowe can sit on the bench

and watch other guys catch the ball for all i care. Until he can hold onto the ball we should consider him a part of the problem, not the solution!

Regardless of who the Chiefs pick at #5 overall, Whitlock will call it the worst pick in the history of the Chiefs. Heres to hoping that #5 pick runs Whitlock out of town.....

by jrcnc on Feb 22, 2010 11:16 AM CST up reply actions  

This would be an excellent pickup.

It would allow us to select a safety later in the draft, as oppose to early. Draft Larry Ansante in the 3rd/4th, and pair him with Rolle, and you have an excellent safety tandem.
