Travis Daniels Says He's Coming Back To The Chiefs

by Joel Thorman on Jul 26, 2011 6:54 PM CDT in NFL Free Agency 2011

The Kansas City Chiefs are taking care of a few of their unrestricted free agents this week and that includes CB Travis Daniels. He writes on Twitter that he'll be re-signing with the Chiefs. No word on the length of the deal or how much it's worth.

Daniels is another guy that I said the Chiefs should bring back. With the loss of offseason workouts, the Chiefs could be short on players that are ready to quickly contribute in training camp and preseason without having to learn a new playbook. Daniels has been here. He knows the defense. There's no reason not to bring him back, especially with a 90-man roster for camp this year.

Daniels' deal with the Chiefs won't become official until he signs, which can happen starting on Friday night.

The Chiefs have also reportedly agreed to terms with WR Terrance Copper and C Casey Wiegmann. That leaves the remaining unrestricted free agents: NT Ron Edwards, DE Shaun Smith, S Jon McGraw, LB Charlie Anderson, RB Jackie Battle, FB Tim Castille, OT Ryan O'Callaghan, LB Corey Mays, TE Leonard Pope, C Rudy Niswanger and QB Brodie Croyle.

I may be in the minority...

But I actually like and have hope for Travis Daniels… I just think hes pretty raw still and given time, he may become a very servicable backup…

Is JC Jesus Christ or Jamaal Charles? I think they both will be our savior.

I puked in my brain looking at that list and realizing Pioli re-signs 90% of that list

Mainly because of the reasons Joel listed for re-signing Daniels.

Scott Pioli for President in 2012. Experience? If the current President doesn't need it, why does Pioli? Besides, Pioli has the blue collar work ethic with a white collar brain. He has humility. He is tough on security. He supports war on Sundays. And he makes sound, fiscally conservative decisions.
