Chiefs Officially Re-Sign Two Players
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed two players on Sunday, according to Scout.com.
First is OL Ikechuku Ndukwe, an offensive linemen. Ndukwe had what we believe was a second round tender placed on him. This just means that he actually signed the tender now.
Second is FB Mike Cox, who was an exclusive rights free agent. Basically, he had no negotiating rights with other teams (like restricted free agents do) and either had to sign the Chiefs tender or not play.
Cox's situation is a little strange.
Back in January, he did an interview with a TV station indicating that he didn't know what his next move would be because he's a free agent. I did a story on that.
That evening a league source informed me that Cox was not a free agent, but an exclusive rights free agent, which is about the farthest thing away from unrestricted a free agent can get.
In the end, he's back with the Chiefs.

We should see most of the tenders signed by the end of today.
Off season program starts tomorrow and they have to sign to participate.
Mike is alright.
hes a good football player and understands his role. Although I would like to see Pioli Draft John Conner in the later rounds (if available). Let him compete with Cox.
Chiefs are going to surprise alot of people in 2010 !!!!
John Conner has to be pretty tough....
Didn’t he defeat the terminator and do some time travel? hahaha!

Castille is
better any way. I would like to see him do it.
Questions about Ndukwe
Have we ever found out what draft pick we’re giving up for the Alleman / Ndukwe trade? I always wondered why we never tried Ndukwe at RG last year when he started at that position for a playoff team the year before. We did try Alleman there with little success. Then after the season we tender Ndukwe and not Alleman.
(Conspiracy Theorey Alert)
Could it be that the draft pick was to be based on how much these guys played and if they were brought back for next season? Could the Chiefs have intentionally not played Ndukwe last year to keep the draft pick low?
The only reason I see for playing Alleman over Nkukwe last year was that Ndukwe’s scouting report is that he isn’t super mobile and is more of a “mauler” so maybe Alleman was a better fit for the zone blocking scheme. But if that is the case then why bring Ndukwe back and not Alleman?

Alleman was picked up by Indy because he was more of a mauler though.
Or at least had the size to be one.
good thoughts porkchop
that whole thing sounded fishy to me…not sure what to think about it. I wonder if we’ll ever get the whole story.

I noticed caplan tweeted about this last night about 9pm and I did a quick fanshot on it when I logged on to my twitter account around midnight.
the story broke on scout.com (click here) which reported transactions from a number of teams all at once.

dont hate on cox
He may not be as versatile as castille but with thomas jones here we no longer need a ball carrier FB; we need a good lead blocker which in that respect, cox is better

maybe we trade cox
to buffalo. after all, Chan Gailey likes cox. gailey basically got him to the chiefs, perhaps he’ll want him in buffalo.

Trade Cox with Gailey?
Is his bigger?
Things to get the Chiefs back on the winning side of football:
1. Haley resign as offensive coordinator or do the following;
a. Feed JC more
b. Take the cuffs off of Cassel and let him air it out
2. Fire Clancy "Calls" Playslikeass

gailey LOVES cox!!
"WIth the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select... Eric Berry Safety Tennesee... "
im not convinced on mike cox.
i clearly just think hes an average player at best. I think we should draft/sign another fullback for compettion
"WIth the 5th pick in the 2010 NFL draft the Kansas City Chiefs select... Eric Berry Safety Tennesee... "
Prediction that evidently I see was already made...we cut cox in camp...cox is picked up by the bills
I am on TEAM O'CALLAGHAN-RT
KC Will Trade Derrick Johnson
I don't think he will be released.
Surely there is a hole somewhere that we could fill with Cox.
I've been rapping for about seveteen years okay? I don't write my stuff anymore I just kick it from my head you know what I'm sayin? I can do that. No disrespect but that's how I am.

Representing three school districts, students from East, Hickman Mills, Raytown, Raytown South and Ruskin high schools then asked questions of these NFL gladiators. Following the Q&A session, the HSPD [High School Player Development] participants concluded this week-long program with a spirited 7-on-7 competition."
