Former Kansas City Chiefs Players Receiving Offers Around The League

by Chris Thorman on Mar 4, 2011 9:55 AM CST

Lots of news happened yesterday in the NFL, besides the extension of the deadline for an NFL Lockout. A number of players were extended contract tenders and more were officially signed to various NFL teams. A number of former Kansas City Chiefs players were among them.

S Tyron Brackenridge has signed a contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brackenridge, an undrafted college free agent, was signed by the Kansas City Chiefs just days after the 2006 NFL Draft. Over two seasons, Brackenridge played in 14 games for the Chiefs, mainly on special teams and as a backup safety. He's probably best known for following Bernard Pollard in the rather ridiculous Hard Knocks locker room dance video.

OT Will Svitek was signed to a contract by the Atlanta Falcons yesterday. Svitek played in 17 games last season for the Falcons as a backup offensive lineman. That's virtually the same role Svitek filled in Kansas City after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He started four games over three seasons for the Chiefs before being cut in August 2008.

DE Turk McBride was given a second round tender offer by the Detroit Lions yesterday. McBride actually had a pretty good season for the Lions last year. He had five sacks in 15 games. McBride ended up in Detroit with Gunther Cunningham after being cut by the Chiefs in 2009. Given McBride's second round tender, the highest possible tender, the Detroit Lions certainly want him back in 2011.

S Jarrad Page was also given a second round tender by the New England Patriots. Like with McBride, the second round tender means it's unlikely that Page will be leaving for another team.

And that's it for former Chiefs players in the news. Any regrets losing these players? Not from me....

I beg to differ about Brackenridge

I think he’s best remembered for punching a Brandon Marshall in the groin

I liked Turk

Brackenridge had a sweet td against the chargers, that’s about it.

Brack - Didn't he technically drop the ball before scoring?

It wasn’t called back, but that is what I remember him best for.

Who?

To make a bad day worse, spend it wishing for the impossible.

I've had the same dream every night this week. I think it means that the spring season flopped and my subconscious has gone into reruns.

I'd flip my lid

If We got a 2012 7th rounder, and the hoodie flipped him for a 2011 2nd rounder.
Never will happen, but my lid would be flipped.

I'm tired of pretending like I'm not bitching, a total fricking rock star from Mars, and people can't figure me out; they can't process me. I don't expect them to. You can't process me with a normal brain.

What I never understood

was why Pioli & Haley wanted to move Turk to OLB. He played a lot of 3-tech at the end of his rookie year but just was slightly undersized and for that. He played 4-3 end his second year and wasn’t the fastest edge rusher for that position. Common sense would make me think that he would’ve been a great fit for a 5-tech in a 3-4, especially considering he was 280+ and we didn’t have any depth at that position at that time (especially after releasing Alphonso Boone). It was just Dorsey (who was switching to a new position), Tyson Jackson (who was a rookie) and Alex McGee (who also was a rookie). Still to this day, I don’t understand why Boone and McBride were cut rather than draft other positions and address DE the following year via free agency and/or the draft.

Your eyes tell you more than any statistics can.

Thigpen

By far my favorite Chief in the past 10 years idk why but I loved the guy as a player. He had moxy and game kinda like Jamie Foxx in Any Given Sunday. I would rather had him going against san diego than Brodie
