DE Ty Warren, OT Nick Kaczur Among Patriots Cuts

The New England Patriots made a couple of roster moves today and I'm wondering if a couple of them may interest the Kansas City Chefs. The Patriots announced the release of a number of players, including DE Ty Warren and OT Nick Kaczur.

The Warren release is a surprise but New England area reporters are suggesting that he could return under a more cap-friendly contract.

The Kaczur release is pretty interesting to me. He played right tackle in New England -- behind Chiefs OT Ryan O'Callaghan at one point -- so GM Scott Pioli is familiar with him. Reportedly, the Patriots wanted him to agree to a pay cut.

We've been talking about whether the Chiefs will add anyone to the offensive line in free agency. At right tackle, OT Ryan O'Callaghan is a free agent and OT Barry Richardson has a restricted free agent tender on him.

Kaczur is 32 years old so I'd guess he wouldn't be incredibly expensive. It's a situation worth exploring for the Chiefs, if you ask me (which you didn't).

Speaking of O'Cal

I know he’s a free agent, but I would think he would be a pretty set guy to re-sign….right?

I was thinking that too

I wouldn’t mind seeing him back. He was ahead of Barry on the depth chart before getting injured.

Hey, now, Joel, you don't get paid for opinions!!!! LOL

We’ll pass on Kaczur. He’s just not much of an upgrade to our current situation, plagued with injuries and whatnot.
Now, Alge Crumpler…with Moeaki on PUP, Cottam released, and Pope is god knows where….There’s a possible option.

by Flower_Power on Jul 29, 2011 2:30 PM CDT reply actions  

Possible

Even if we bring him in for DE he’s about on par with Dorsey’s production.. So a solid rotation guy..

Not really that interested in Kaczur.

What makes Kaczur appealing is he can play G and T

Ty Warren is coming off of a major injury and thats probably more the reason he got cut, along with the money.

I know everyone has an instant hard-on for Warren but....
Warren missed the entire 2010 season with a torn labrum in his hip. It’s the kind of injury that can linger for more than a year, and in this case it likely has. Warren was due just $3.1 million and would have been a good bet to start at left end if healthy

yeah, I think it's fair to think he can play a role-like that as a rookie

With Smith gone

I’m guessing T-Jax just takes his snaps.

Since he’s not in on passing downs, he ought to be just fine. If Dorsey can do it, so can he.

right, but an injury to either and we're in trouble unless Gilberry becomes a more complete DE

I expect TJax to have a big year. Just seems as if it’s a pretty thin position right now.

True story. Although I have a serious, serious feeling about Bailey

I could be wrong. I know he was just a 3rd rounder and he’s a rook. But I have a funny feeling about him being a contributor.
