Checking Back In On The Aubrayo Franklin Market
by Joel Thorman on Jul 28, 2011 3:09 PM CDT
in NFL Free Agency 2011
Email
PrintOne thing I've noticed every year during free agency is that nearly every fan base has a group of folks wanting their team to sign whatever the big-name free agent is. So when you hear Kansas City Chiefs fans saying they want Aubrayo Franklin, remember they're not alone. A lot of fans do.
That said, it does seem those around the league think Franklin will indeed land in Kansas City. This is far from hard news but NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports:
It's clear that teams have been hesitant to wade in too deeply to this point. Jenkins is being pursued by Dallas and New Orleans, according to league sources, while Franklin is expected by many to land in Kansas City. Seattle has put offers in front of Mebane before and after the lockout, but nothing is imminent at this point.
La Canfora could be simply reading the tea leaves here because, with the lack of news surrounding Franklin, it seems no one really knows what's going on.
But it appears we're not the only ones who think KC has a shot at Franklin. We shall see...

WHAT?!?

Success ...
I would consider the offseason a success if we signed Franklin. The Chiefs desperately need a good NT to take the D to the next level. Come on, Scott. I believe in you …
Chiefs Fan in St. Louis
what about Nick Barnett
will we pursue him?
They really should
He has experience in a 3-4, is a leader and a good tackler. I think he would make Derrick Johnson a lot better. Only thing is he has to stay healthy.
How good is this Franklin guy? I have never heard of him but people are talking like he is very good which sounds great because the chiefs need to work something out at NT.
Barnett and a nose tackle would pretty much complete the defense.
What are the chances
of us maybe working on a trade for a NT????

Especially since we get this tweet from Smith saying he’s flying out in the morning. Doesn’t sound too promising to me for him in KC. Considering that, we NEED a proven NT on the roster

I still think Smith is staying
but, it could go either way.
Even with Smith, this line becomes much better with Franklin as the starter, Smith as depth
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense that he'd be let go
They’ve asked Gillbury to add weight so he can be a three down player, they have Dorsey, TJ & that new draft pick DE, along with Powe. Adding Franklin (or another pure NT) would set the team at 2 deep for each of the DL positions. I think maybe they just decided that Smith was the odd man out…along with Ron.

KC will be a Superbowl favorite in 2012

I think he added about 15lbs, but he said they didn’t ask him to do it. He bulked up on his own. Hopefully he “bulked up” and didn’t just blow up.

Here’s to hoping the Breaston signing will help. Our reputation around the league is picking up. We are slowly building something worth coming to KC for. Not many sane people choose to come to KC, if they can compete in a more desireable location etc….. (I’m a KS kid so don’t blow me up for saying that)…
I’m just saying, the rich get richer. And with one good signing….Could very easily signal a couple other good dudes to want to join us. As our team is shaping up to look fairly legit regardless of our opponents

I know he's a DE, but a DE that big?
Makes for a massive rotation on d-line, which is something the Chiefs don’t currently have.

Why would we trade with a great FA like Franklin available?
Unless BB wants to unload Wilfork for Shane Bannon, a sack of wooden nickels and a Z-Man sandwich

Apparently Sopoaga was informed he would be playing NT this year, rather than DE. I believe that means he isn’t coming back. It’s a shame, but we need defensive backs more than we need him. Anyway, good luck to you. As long as he avoids Dallas, I’m happy.
Not that there’s a Dallas rumor, I just hate Dallas.

Realistically,No. The second half of the schedule is too brutal.

True, but look at the FA acquisitions so far and tell me how many wins do you see?
@ Indianapolis
@ New England
Pittsburgh
@ Chicago
@ New York Jets
Green Bay
I see 0-6. Maybe 1-6 if we win the Chicago or Indy game (if Peyton is still not 100% after surgery.)
So we have to sweep the rest of the games to go 10-6 or 11-5.
Not the answer I was looking for
Pick 21: OLB Justin Houston
Pick 30: C Rodney Hudson
Pick 86: NT Kenrick Ellis. (Ellis in the 3rd = Taylor in the 1st + 1st round pick).
Problems solved. Please forget about Phil Taylor.
True
But the optimist in me is saying we have a real chance to stay up to par with some of these teams. Romeo knows how to own Peyton, mark sanchez is just mark sanchez, jay cutler is really good when he is on and really bad when he is off so hopefully we catch him on a bad streak. Maybe romeo knows something about tom Brady too. even though i dont think we can stop them. Green bay has lost some key members. Pittsburg gonna be looking for revenge from a couple years ago though.

Answer:
I sure hope so.
In the last 10 years, the AFC has been represented in the Super Bowl by NE, IND, and PIT. No one else.
SD was a choke job and could never get over the hump, BALT made some efforts but PIT owns them come playoff time, NYJ are a hype machine on steroids….
NE, IND, and PIT all did one consistent thing. Built through the draft, completed with the right FA. KC is following that model.
Move over Brady, Manning, and Ben. Our time is NOW.

Good point!
Sudden: That hype machine in Jetsland has been to some AFC Championship Games. Not pretenders. And with their QB talking about re-working his deal to get whom they think they need, they’re only going to get better.
Notice, Sudden, that the 3 teams you named drafted their QB, in particular. KC didn’t.
would of ≠ would've
Green Bay almost didn't make the playoffs last year
so yeah
Predictions:
KC will be a Superbowl favorite in 2012
Kblomfiee: It's a possibility, depending on if they find a solid winning formula early.
If they can do that, I think they can sustain it better than most other teams for 16+ games. When I look at the brutal home stretch, it all depends on how high they set the bar in the first quarter of the season, because however high it’s set, I think they stay as good or better the rest of the way.
That’s why I’m so excited about any big FA signings they make, because it gives them their best chance of setting the bar higher to begin with.
Pioli was talking last WINTER about this being the time to CONTEND. They broke the ice on their first playoff appearance, and now his focus is on winning in the playoffs.

Hhahaha! Same here.
I should have been fired yesterday with the whole Breaston deal.
There is a fly in the ointment. The sh*t has hit the fan. The lion will speak.
Yup. I was gonna start easing my way back into my fall semester schedule, by hitting the office this week.
I only just managed to make it in to the office once this week, and not for very long. My anticipation is out of all proportion to the pace of news.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie QB Ricky Stanzi’s rookie deal is worth $2.28 million and a bonus of roughly $211,000.
I love your work ethic in following the Chiefs :P
Pick 21: OLB Justin Houston
Pick 30: C Rodney Hudson
Pick 86: NT Kenrick Ellis. (Ellis in the 3rd = Taylor in the 1st + 1st round pick).
Problems solved. Please forget about Phil Taylor.
same.
caved in to pulling ap up on my work computer. was operating off my cell phone…but that starts to suck AFTER A FEW HOURS!!!
Watching KC-versus-SFO.
Not impressed by Franklin versus Wiegs in the 1st quarter. He got doubled a couple times, by accident, but seemed like Wiegs could handle him pretty good 1-on-1.

Gotta take that with a grain of salt tho...
Mike Singletary single handedly destroyed that teams will to win. He was hell on wheels when he was on the field, but making the jump to motivator seems to have been a bit too much for him. You can’t brow beat players to make them good. You have to build them up, watch them fall and then build them up again. Singletary never understood that. He’s not made that way. He doesn’t understand any mentality that works in ways different that “kill”. Franklin was playing on a down and out team that was going nowhere. Give him the proper motivation and I’ll bet that changes. Just a thought Doc.
