Brad Cottam Clears Waivers, Returns To The Chiefs

PrintWe caught wind of a report on Wednesday evening that the Chiefs had waived tight end Brad Cottam.
After a little research, we found out that the Chiefs had waived/injured him meaning he would hit the waiver wire and, if he went unclaimed, would return to the Chiefs.
And that's exactly what happened as the Chiefs announced Cottam has been placed on reserve/PUP.
He'll be out for at least the first six weeks of the regular season but I wouldn't look for him to play in 2010.
The key to doing this particular transaction is that Cottam won't count against the roster (active/PUP does) so the Chiefs can sign someone to take his place (which they already did with tight end Leroy Banks).
Cottam suffered a neck injury in week 14 last year which caused him to end the season on injured reserve. Since IR doesn't carry over from year to year, and the Chiefs wanted to retain his rights, they had to designate him as waived/injured so he could go through the waiver process and return to the team.
The Chiefs now retain Cottam's rights.

Thank You...
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

Maybe Horshack can play NT
Predictions:
1) Fans will feel just scads better from mid-to-end of the 2010 season.
2) During the 2021 season, Ryan Succop will become the Chiefs’ all-time leading scorer with 1469 points.
Up your nose with a rubber hose!
I'm an ideas man Michael. I think I proved that with "F#@k Mountain".
that is very good news, a lot of us wanted to keep him on IR or whatnot, glad hes still a chief
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
exxcelllent
I love it when a plan comes together
(yes, that was Mr Burns and Hannibal from the A-Team in a muddled impression)
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?
that a boy i really like this guy
I want to see him play ball

Good news
I like him and still thinks he has quite a bit of potential to be good for us.

saw Cottam come down on his head against the Browns...
…was at that game (the blackout game). Was in the nosebleeds parallel to the Chiefs sideline…made my stomach turn. He was just getting to where they were using him more too. Heal quick, Brad!
Jamaal Charles will be the first 2,500-yard rusher in the league. Bank.
I was half expecting the Eagles to make a claim
Them or the titans.. They’re all about physical freaks
