Free Agents left?

I dont see us going for Rogers after his trouble with the law.
Brace is only in year 2. No way the Pats part with him yet.

He was the starting NT, and at 306, listed, may be a little light for what Romeo may want.

is the main prospect to take over for Wilfork, and their depth at NT…don’t think he’s going anywhere

the F A market is bare right now

Is he still available,and if so why?

The back of my mind has been on Rodgers for NT aren’t we all thinking NT and the front of my mind on Henderson for RE but really… What about Osi? I’d rather we had him over any free agent Imagine rush the passer with Hali But then again Henderson would help Hali rush the passer and provide some run support

… seems to me there were early runs at rush OLB and the best value for the Chiefs in that position group might actually be the waiver wire, late.

I almost hate bringing this up, but maybe this is a good thread to put on our thinking caps and think like a contrarian, looking to gain a slight edge by anticipating what game-ready role players/depth players might be showing up in which position groups, when the last, hardest cuts, are made. Pioli made full use of this last offseason when everybody else pursued OL so hard, using both waiver wire and future (late-round) draft picks to skim the last of the cream of useable talent.

Hopefully this is KC’s last year this high in the batting order in August and September, but I think it’s something to which Pioli pays attention. Picking through castoffs, KC added Chambers and Long, just by being patient. Remember how many of us were lusting after Lance Long last summer?

As for NT, this is a year quite a few NTs went a little higher than maybe they were worth, and a plug-in veteran might just fall in KC’s lap later on. For the very same reason they are so highly prized this year, so will there be some pretty good ones falling off the edge of the depth chart, here and there.

Think about it. With 2 of the 4 teams above the Chiefs taking 4-3 DTs in the draft, already, pretty much the only team ahead of the Chiefs likely to snatch a NT ahead of the Chiefs is Washington, but unless they part ways with Haynesworth, I’m not sure they’re shopping for NT at the same time a pretty good one comes along, that KC can throw into the churn. #5 is going to be a pretty good spot to get an extra set of looks late.

The Bucs took 2 DTs in the first two rounds this year. I really think KC has 1st pick off the waiver wire at the best NT to fall, same as they nabbed Chambers when HE fell. While I would’ve felt better if they’d done something more direct, I’m actually kind of glad KC didn’t tie up a 1st or 2nd or even a 3rd in one of ’10’s NT prospects, and pin too many hopes on a guy unlikely to contribute much in ’10 and not even a sure thing for ’11 and beyond.

I’ll throw Alan Branch into the fray, fully expecting, but unafraid, to be taken out at the knees on this line of thinking.
