LB Corey Mays Completes Chiefs RFA Tenders
The Kansas City Chiefs extended tenders to all but two of their restricted free agents, according to various reports. Here's the run down on the Chiefs restricted free agents and their corresponding tender level:
First round level - LB Derrick Johnson ($2.621 million)
Second round level - QB Brodie Croyle ($1.759 million), LB Corey Mays ($1.759 million), G Ikechuku Ndukwe ($1.684 million), C Rudy Niswanger ($1.759 million), RT Ryan O'Callaghan ($1.759 million), S Jarrad Page ($1.759 million)
The biggest one here is Derrick Johnson, who could have been a candidate for a first and third round tender -- the highest level. Though it's highly unlikely anyone will give up a first round pick for him, the lower of the two tenders might indicate to the rest of the league that the Chiefs will listen to offers.
Here's a longer story I did on that topic this week.
It's also highly unlikely that any of the second round tenders will be matched. Croyle would be the only possibility and that's a stretch.
Two players were not extended tenders: OL Andy Alleman and RB Jackie Battle.
Alleman was a slight surprise considering the state of the Chiefs offensive line. Battle ended the season on IR and wasn't expected to make a serious run at a roster spot.

I wish we would have tendered DJ with a second
His salary would be the same, but with that second rounder from another team we could have gotten Brandon Spikes.
I’d willingly essentially trade DJ for Spikes strait up considering Spikes considering he’s what, 5 years younger?
Chiefs will draft Okung, and if he's gone, Bulaga
Herm Edwards will be jealous of a running game and more than 2 wins….
Bulaga is a reach
i want Berry at or McClain at 5
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.....
good to see alleman not offered...
… hopefully suggests some serious reshuffling during the offseason
Bulaga
Is it me or does he look and feel like a flop at Tackle in the NFL. I can see him being a very good guard but his arms are so short I don’t see him being an elite Tackle. We all know you don’t draft Guards and Centers early in the first round so I would pass on him. I would be ok with Okung but I really believe he will be gone. Washington needs a LT and the tendered Jason C. with a 1st round pick.
His arms are just as long as Albert's
and many other tackles in the league. Classic case of paying too much attention to the combine.
This is my signature line. It is full of awesome and win.

Funny thing about that picture
it says Mays stops LT at goal line. But upon closer review, there is a tackler already touching him in front of Mays. Could it be Demorrio Williams?
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.
