Chiefs' Jarrad Page Trade Is Once Again With A Familiar Partner

by Joel Thorman on Sep 7, 2010 11:14 AM CDT in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Preseason

The Kansas City Chiefs traded safety Jarrad Page to the New England Patriots over the weekend and it marked another trade GM Scott Pioli has done with the Patriots.

Through a year and a half in Kansas City, Pioli tends to trade with teams he's familiar with. With the Patriots, it's Bill Belichick, the Falcons it's GM Thomas Dimitroff and the Dolphins it's Bill Parcells. Here are a few of the familiar trades for Pioli:

Patriots: Traded for Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel
Patriots: Traded Jarrad Page
Falcons: Traded Tony Gonzalez
Dolphins: Traded for Ikechuku Ndukwe and Andy Alleman
Dolphins: Traded up in the 7th round of the 2009 draft

The Chiefs also traded with the Panthers (Tank Tyler) and Texans (moving up in the third round of the 2010 draft).

I don't think it's a particularly good or bad thing that Pioli tends to work with people he knows. I think it's probably easier to get through a trade with someone you know. There's probably less back-and-forth working with someone you know.

For the Chiefs, working with a good team like the Patriots is probably a smart move. Hey, it could be the Lions.

I just hope we got a 4th or 5th for the guy

Def glad we got rid of all distractions prior to the season beginning.

I'd need the specifics of the trade before making a good assessment

So far everything I’ve read has been speculation, unless I missed something in regards to a specific round for JP.

A 5th round would be fair, but if it’s anything later than that, then I think we got the bad end of the deal.

Yep,

all I’ve seen is “conditional.” That could mean a lot of things. And the Pat’s have two young promising safeties, so Page even seeing the field at this point is somewhat unlikely.

If you can sack groceries, you can sack a QB... right?

Maybe he is going to swing another

take Randy Moss of their hands, seeing as how they took Page off of ours…….

The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.

i don't really care they he works with the same teams

but it makes you wonder whether or not we could get more in trade with a wide range of trading partners.

pats fins falcons all extended family it seems

Ive been happy with what we got for our players….Thigpen for a 5 was great, Tank(elsewhere carolina) for a 5 was also great. I know we gave a 6 for ndukwe alleman, but we sort of needed those guys even as a 1 year rental. the 7th for the ocall pick was simply taking a guy 1 year ahead.

Pioli is doing what he can, I see people on other sites saying he hasnt done what the pats are/have done…well, that takes drafts like 2010 and solid roster building/winning to get in a position to be able to trade back and not take a certain player.

Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
