Hey Jarrad Page, how did it feel?
Hey Jarrad did you enjoy your weekend? Did you anxiously sit by your flat screen last night waiting for the debut of Tim Tebow? Did you go to the corner store and buy a few beers and invite your brother over to watch the preseason games this weekend?
Maybe you are missing something here Jarrad Page, but yeah what you saw this weekend was the NFL playing their preseason games. See the NFL isn't going to stop and wait for you. The teams are moving on, all the losers and winners from this weekend are churning on, they are already back to practice. The players have already iced their injuries, and dissected the film. The coaches are making changes and re-evaluating each and every snap.
Now I know deep down inside of you there had to be that little itch, a little yearning to have been out there on the field. Regardless of how you feel about the Chiefs, my guess is that just seeing these games this weekend made you want to be out there, any athlete that has played the game, practiced in the heat, and finally got a chance to hit someone with a different helmet on wants to be out there.
Maybe you spent your weekend looking for a new job. Did you try Costco? I'm sure McGraw probably gave you a nice reference didn't he? No wait he was to busy practicing, he was to busy studying Crennel's playbook, he was to busy working with Brandon Flowers, Eric Berry, Kendrick Lewis, and Brandon Carr. Jon McGraw couldn't give you a reference because he was busy in Atlanta playing the Falcons, a game I'm sure you probably turned on and watched a little of right?
So Jarrad Page how did it feel? How did it feel to sit at home like the millions of fans across this great county and see the game from our perspective? Did it feel good relaxing on the couch? I know you probably didn't have your buddy Shawne Merriman around. That is right, he signed his tender last weekend. Just in case you didn't know what he said, here let me blockquote it for you real fast:
"I didn't accomplish anything at all," Merriman said. "I always knew that I was wanted here, which was one of the biggest reasons for getting things sorted out. You hate to deal with the whole business part of it, but I'm so glad it's behind me and I can go out and play."
"Everybody's on the trading block," Merriman said. "It was more a question of it being talked about so much. This team has bigger fish to fry, and that's playing the Kansas City Chiefs in a month. At no point in time did I want conversation about my future to be above the team, and at some points [last season] it got there. That's what I wanted to stay away from."

See there Jarrad Page, he is back on track. He is in camp preparing to play against us. He knows it didn't accomplish anything, and is back out there on the field where he belongs. So why don't you just book a flight to Kansas City, set up a meeting with Scott Pioli and sign your tender? You know this team is on the upswing, you know that the AFC West is wide open this year and anything can happen. You know that if you would just sign you tender and get into camp you would make this Secondary alot better right?
Unless you want to sit at home all year and watch the games just like us. Hey you know what Jarrad, if you are planning to just become a spectator and are truly done with football, if your ever in Oklahoma hit me up. I have the NFL package on my satellite and we can sit around, do a little grilling, drink a few cold ones, and watch the game. Only one stipulation though my flat screen doesn't leave the Chiefs on Sunday.

I seriously, not bashing or being mean – but in all honesty, had forgotten about Page. Wasn’t even on my mind at all this morning til I saw your post here.
I do wonder what these holdouts are thinking when they see the games starting to ramp up. I seriously wonder what’s going through his mind during all of this.
Then I move right along, as there are more important things for me to ponder – like the guys that are actually on our roster. Which is something I don’t know if guys like Page understand. The NFL is a prime example of ‘out of sight, out of mind’. You spend too much time on the couch and not enough time on the field, fans – and soon coaches / GM’s won’t have you on their radar at all. Then it’s new career time.
Chiefs - back in the playoffs in 2011.
You know it had to eat at him just a little bit
being an athlete I’m sure he wants to be out there. I honestly hadn’t thought of Page all weekend but woke up this morning and thought “hmmm, Page woke up this morning in his bed, just like me, a regular guy who watched all the preseason games from home”.
Honestly I hope he signs his tender.
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.

I still believe you will sign your tender . There is only so much ice cream you can eat in Santa Monica .Please don’t carry this over to next year . Time does heal all wounds .

If he just signs his tender
and him and Pioli sit down and air everything out, I think he would be forgiven.

I don't think so
not with the “the Chiefs injured me and are being vindictive to me now” crap in the media. They’ll let him sit and rot until a deal they feel they can’t turn down comes along. If they never get a great offer he’ll sit all season.

but he didn't actually say that
his brother did, so in the end I think Pioli and the team could forgive him and welcome him back.
If he fires his brother and hires a new agent, do you still think they would sit him all year if he was willing to come back?

even if he truly does not want to be a Chief
A new agent would have to help the situation. I agree if Page maned up and spoke to Pioli without his brother things would more than likley be worked out.

Jarad Page is history as far as the Chiefs are concerned.
Page sold his house and moved to California. We will not see Jarad Page in a Kansas City uniform this year or any other year. Now that he has screwed the pooch on his career in Kansas City, Page is intent on screwing the pooch on the rest of his NFL career. If Page sits out this year which will most likely happen, his career is really on the back burner.

Nice post, rec'd
You know it has to eat at him a little bit. Heck, I watch friends of mine compete in sports I used to play and I still want to get out there and I was never paid for it. If he has a competitive bone in his body then you know it bugs him a little. But honestly, the man is pouting more than a 5 yr old who wants candy and his binkie.
This is the prime reason you shouldn’t use family, brother, dad, etc. as your agent. You don’t get good advice and it’s hard to fire them. Seriously, what has he gained, he has given them little to use as trade bait since he’s not even practicing and just sits around whining. He was the starting safety on one of the worst defenses in the league. He should have signed, practiced, asked for the trade and then, if no lockout, then go elsewhere next year. If there is a lockout Page is screwed!
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
