Former Chiefs' Brodie Croyle, Brad Cottam Getting Workouts

by Joel Thorman on Oct 5, 2011 9:02 AM CDT

A pair of former Kansas City Chiefs players are getting workouts around the league.

QB Brodie Croyle's contract was up and did not re-sign with the Chiefs this offseason. He joined the Arizona Cardinals for a week when injuries struck and also had a workout with the Indianapolis Colts last week.

This week, he worked out with the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. It's actually the second time he's worked out for the Dolphins this year. The Chiefs play the Dolphins and it very well could be someone other than QB Chad Henne back there as the Dolphins continue to wait to hear about the injury to his non-throwing shoulder.

(Editor's note: Desperate for a QB and you turn to Croyle before QB David Garrard? Yikes!)

Another former Chief, TE Brad Cottam, got a workout recently with the New York Jets. He suffered a neck injury in the 2009 season, spent the 2010 season on IR and never played for the Chiefs again. KC released him at the end of July.

The Chiefs play both the Dolphins and Jets this year so it's possible we see one of these guys down the road.

I heard that Garrard

was asking too much. That’s why the Dolphins are going in another direction.

Yeah, the front office decided the direction was "Screw the coaching staff" we're going for the first pick.

Why has no one signed Dan LeFevour yet?

I think teams are trying to get inside info on the Chiefs

I Noticed that since the season has started it is only teams that the Chiefs face this year that are working out former Chiefs.

Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.

I hope Brodie gets a chance

and makes the most of it. For the few plays he lasts before he’s broken again.

If he gets a chance

he’ll make the IR again and get paid for the rest of the season.

Why all the Croyle hate?

OK, he’s injury prone. Herm knew that, brought him on anyway. What did you want the guy to do? I am sure you have the mental fortitude to say no to a multi year contract worth millions because you know you are at greater risk of being hurt.

On another note, what has Croyle done to piss off the “fans” in Kansas City? Every time I have heard him speak or heard someone talk to him he has seemed like an upstanding guy, my favorite story is when he put all his eggs in the proverbial basket by moving his family to Overland Park… I liked that. Not that I have a problem with people who work here then take off after the season, but I still like that in the guy.

WHen he was on the field, yes, he got hurt a lot. We knew this from his college days. I just don’t understand unless he killed some homeless guy, slapped some woman in the face at a nightclub or did something else disgraceful why there’s so much hate for the guy. Grow up, seriously. His wife is hotter than yours. You will never get with her. Hating him because of that just shows how petty you are. FWIW that’s the only conclusion I can come to for all the hate. He’s never done anything but give his all out on the field and off of it for the team that gave him a chance.

Am i the only one

wondering why Cottam wasn’t brought back after Moeaki’s injury? Are my memories incorrect or was Cottam starting to come along before his injury? I remember a big TE with good hands and decent speed.

I'm with ya. Cottam > Becht

I don’t understand why you would take a guy who is basically retired before a guy who has showed promise when people aren’t snapping his neck in half.

Miami stinks

And Henne is done . If anyone thinks they are not getting luck they are crazy . So we should just kill the "suck for Luck " now . Let’s hope the chiefs win now . good news is there is plenty of other great qbs this year . Plenty of talent in this next draft

Carl Peterson apparently is making his precense felt in Miami

First LJ2.7, and now Croyle.

A lesson to be learned

Cottom and Croyle prove that it takes more than size,speed,arm strength etc.. to succeed in this league.Cottom was as big as Pope and as fast as Moeaki.Croyle had 1 of the strongest arms in the league when he played.Now look at them,out of the league and begging for tryouts. It’s sad,what could have been with these guys.It is also an illustration of why you don’t spend high draft picks(Moaeaki)that have injury problems in college.More often than not it carries over to the NFL.

Just tell it to call you Billie!
