Chiefs Pursued Free Agent Linebacker But Lost Out To Saints

in NFL Free Agency 2011

LB Scott Shanle, a 9-year veteran out of Nebraska, re-signed with the New Orleans Saints today. But it turns out, amidst all of the other free agency moves this week, the Kansas City Chiefs were pursuing Shanle.
Shanle, in a NOLA.com article, said Kansas City pursued and had his interest:
So when the Kansas City Chiefs started showing interest in the 9-year veteran free agent, Shanle listened. Perhaps under appreciated by Saints fans over the past few years, Shanle acknowledged Saturday the allure of his boyhood home was real.
Shanle was one of the Saints' starting outside linebackers on their 2009 Super Bowl team. And that loyalty to New Orleans is ultimately one of the reasons he didn't come to Kansas City:
The Chiefs were close to where I grew up, close to home," he said Saturday. "But I said earlier, playing close to home and friends and family, it wasn't enough compared to what the city (New Orleans) has done for my friends and family over the last five years. The success we've had was something I didn't want to leave.
While Shanle may not be a big name free agent, keep this example in mind when you say to yourself, "The Chiefs aren't making any moves in free agency." Lots of things won't be reported. We just happened to hear about this player interest by the Chiefs because of a random New Orleans article.

I'm thinking he would've been an ILB in our 3-4.

He played weakside in the 4-3
So it would be a stretch to think he would be playing SOLB in our system. I would also bet that Pioli wouldn’t even bother unless he was looking for a starter. This wasn’t a depth move.

Eh...I think he's looking for competition (buzzword)...
but I think the guy would’ve been behind coming from a 4-3. As much as we’re down on Belcher, I think it’ll be pretty hard for any new guy to come right in and replace him because of the mental stuff.

There have been a lot of signings
You kind of wonder how many guys we have lost out on, for whatever reason.

So what other veteran backs are still out there?
I think signing one to a short term deal is a must!
I think Satch's boy Tulloch is still out there,
and Crowder.
"The key to victory is not your strength, but your opponent's weakness." -T.
Crowder is dumber than a bag of hammers
I would be very suprised if he ended up here.
and the Chiefs put the HAMMER DOWN!!!!
I would absolutely LOVE to sign both him and McClain....

ok, this confuses me
I think UPS wants LeRon – he must not have seen this.
CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal
Then we shall show it to him,
AFTER McClain’s signed :)

Hmm
I remember whoadog mentioning Pioli getting mad during a phone call at practice, wonder if this could be what he was upset about?Also, he was a 4-3 olb so would he fit at 3-4 ilb or olb?
Could be any number of things.
Could be
- Houston hanging up on him
- Yet another player signing elsewhere after Pioli made an offer
- The dog just bit a neighbor kid and will have to be put down…
would of ≠ would've
This wouldve been a great signing.
I wonder if that means guys like Tulloch may actually be in play.
"Success is never ending, failure is never final."
Just guessing based off of this but to me it looks like Pioli is looking for a starting ILB.

Only makes sense that ILB is the current topic, considering KC's silence on that front in early FA and the draft.
And it’s a strategy that makes sense. Teams draft ILBs and put off ILB ‘til after more glamorous acquisitions have been made. Asomugha was signed for less than folks expected, but Philly’s still paying double-digit millions, and you can only afford so many of those before the 2- and few-millions are out of reach, and those are the players Pioli can lure with strong offers.
I wouldn’t say that Belcher’s being targeted. I just think that they’re casting ILB nets as they work their way across the entire roster, which is what Pioli does.
would of ≠ would've
the regime is not lying down on the job.
there’s 31 other options for the players we want. Scott’s busting his ass to get good players here & keep them here. They don’t always end up here & sometimes,once they are here, they don’t always work out….but there is COMPETITION at EVERY position in every position group…..and guys know they can’t get complacent like they could when King Carl was still here.
and the Chiefs put the HAMMER DOWN!!!!

yep, and some nice lb's remain on the market. as do a few other good options
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Tulloch would be the shit.
and McClain is still out there too…sounds like it’s haggling between Scott & his agent judging by these tweets..
and the Chiefs put the HAMMER DOWN!!!!
yeah, if we somehow snag mcclain and tulloch or another legitimate lb option, id be really really happy
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
A guy like Tulloch would be an incredible signing
And one that wouldnt break the bank.

Not only that, SDChief, but there may yet be surprises and Pioli's going to be a big fish in that pond.
I look at the teams making splashes, and they’re pretty much done, and may even have to let some good people go, who would serve the Chiefs very well, but nobody saw the fallout coming after the big, fiery blast.
would of ≠ would've
Well im glad we did something
But unless we sign McClain or a stud ILB or idk a freaking SS or FS who’s awesome. I say either because Berry can play both so we could move him if we got a great SS. I just want something that gives me hope for a playoff win cause so far I’m not even seeing 8 wins. What if Greg doesn’t go so well? We got Powe and Torbino? What if Lilja gets hurt?

All legit "What if?"s They should be asked.
But not in a vacuum. You also need to understand that every team in the league is facing those very same questions. KC’s putting together a pretty good all-around team, with pretty good all-around depth.
I think they’ll figure out REAL QUICK if they need to continue scouring the market for this position or that, and it may turn out to be a position or positions nobody expects.
I keep looking for every possible tidbit on key guys, like Anthony Toribio and Dion Gales. These are players I expect are on the bubble, but are getting an early, hard look, and their performance may be the deciding factor in the number and nature of phone calls to guys like Franklin, Warren, and Soliai.
would of ≠ would've
I personally think the team is on the right track and didnt need many signings...but mcclain would be a great addition for the playoffs
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.

That, plus being a great lead-blocker and a solid receiver, and you want that FB on the field for all 3 downs.

Im not saying
Be like Philly. Just that we need to find some more talent if we want to go all the way. I mean we drafted a OLB and have studebaker BUT we don’t have a guy I can for sure say yeah he should start and do well. Plus I don’t trust Belcher at all he just doesn’t have the skill set ie he hits like a girl and gets dragged around by even scat backs oh and he can’t cover anyone. So what does he bring? He’s a hard worker and will do for a team with no other options but he’s not a Super Bowl winning teams ILB look at the ILBs for last years Super Bowl teams. Plus we have a lot of question marks on our Oline with age size pass blocking ability and lack of experience. Name one starting Olineman that you know is great or even good all the time? JC carried our offense last year but can he do it again? Just ask yourself this what are we playing for if not a Super Bowl? Then ask could we beat Pitt or Green Bay 2 out of 3 times if we played them? I say 2 out of 3 because beating someone 1 game can just be luck.

Hmm how did he fair
Against the Raiders or Bal? Our whole line got destroyed by them. He’s great and I like him starting but you have to have a strong as a bull Center with him if you don’t want to get eaten alive by Big mean front 7s. Do you think Wilfork or the guy from Pitt won’t eat Lilja like cupcake? Now if you throw someone like Hudson next to him yeah you can make up for his size but you throw Casey next to him and well you got yourself a problem.

Oakland was gonna single-up outside.
Baltimore couldn’t cover outside, but they didn’t give a damn.
Both games, they could bring blitzes from all angles at will, and once your O-Line faces those barrages, they don’t look so good against 3- and 4-man rushes, either. Complete quick passes against the blitz and the O-Line tends to settle down, and keep their eyes and minds on the main threats and ZBS, trusting the HBs to slow the blitzer and the QB to find the mismatched receiver and the receiver to make the grab.
My main concern with this year’s OL is the trio of (essentially) 2nd-year guys on the right of the O-Line. I think Lilja and Albert will have the weak side down to a science, and hopefully that extends to Wiegmann and Hudson at C. Richardson was still working out whether to zig or zag, based on what he saw coming at him, and there was, at times, some confusion with Moeaki on who needed to be doing what. Seemed to me that they tightened that up down the stretch last year, with Richardson’s sideline outburst being a real turning point in my perception of him, and KC coaching.
It’s a weird thing about Haley as a coach. He’ll get all over somebody for the slightest mistake, but when a guy apparently blows up (in a good cause), you won’t hear a peep out of him. Hard to describe, but I like it.
would of ≠ would've
Belcher hits like a girl?
He broke his helmet busting a RB’s ass on a sweep. There are countless plays where he destroys lead blockers in gaps. What games are you watching?
If you’re gonna complain about any position not playing well all the time why did you leave out QB? Who is one of the most inconstant players on the team, he can be jekyll and hyde.
We were first in the league in rushing, you don’t do that with an inconsistent o-line. If the QB didn’t spaz at the slightest sign of pressure it’d be a non issue
You get to be #1 in the league by having a 'back who turns the smallest seam into a homerun.
And while Cassel’s under a microscope (I hear he’s sending a lot of passes high and away in TC, btw), it’s too easy to diss a QB on an incomplete offense. The offense got better last year, and Cassel got better. If he doesn’t progress with the team around him, he’ll lose his job. This isn’t the Carl Peterson Chiefs, where they’ll keep working with the guy and cross their fingers on Game Day.
I think KC coaches will discover if Cassel’s the weak link long before I will. But I’ve seen too many QBs judged incorrectly on the basis of their failure to turn dirt into diamonds. And I’ve seen teams tank right after LOSING their alchemist QB, which is what I halfway expect to see happen in Philly. Michael Vick goes down with a hip injury, fighting for the 1st down, and Vince Young has a nervous breakdown 2 weeks later, when he realizes that all the receivers in the world won’t do him any good behind a line as crappy as the Titans was.

Well i know its what if BUT
Honestly we are putting our defense on the shoulders and knees 34 year old NT who yes has been healthly but had never played for us. Don’t forget a team that destroyed us CUT him. Plus we still got a few holes that teams like NE will exploit. such as Belcher not being able to cover my grandma. Oh and don’t forget we now have a new RG and a Center who went to High School with my Grandma. Look I’m just saying we need to make a few more moves with this tough of line up to get to the playoffs

Why a safety?
You don’t like Lewis? I could see trying to upgrade McGraw/Langford/Washington/whoever else, but I’m ok with Berry and Lewis starting for now.
Lewis is more of a
Coverage only guy to me. Plus id prefer Berry play FS to help keep him healthy not that he’s been injured but if you watch him rock people you know his body has to feel it too. I like that he does it but he is so good at coverage it would be awesome to have a hard hitting SS so he could play FS and still hit hard when needed. Plus our Backups like you say our well awful. So having Lewis as a back up slash passing down guy or to start against teams like IND wouldd give us a great secondary. He just isn’t good in run stopping at all and plays a little to deep at times
by Kmillz2525 on Jul 30, 2011 7:24 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Lewis can definitely cover, but it's not like he's a one trick pony.
He’s a solid tackler and there were a couple times last year he came up with some very solid hits.
I’m not sure where you’re getting the impression that Lewis can’t hit.
"[Jamaal Charles] probably fights crime in his spare time while inhaling carbon emissions, exhaling oxygen, and crapping oil. That’s how awesome he is. Not just good for the Chiefs, but America."
- MNchiefsfan
The only hits
I saw him make were usually 50 yards down field and were shoves out of bounds. I’m just saying he’d be better suited to be a role player than a starter. I’m fine with him starting cause he’s pretty good I’m just saying we could upgrade if had a chance at a good deal. I don’t hate the guy but he wasn’t exactly healthy all season so relying on him with only Mcgraw to back up worries me. We saw the Denver game and the Bal game

Lewis

Yes.
I keep trying to remember the specific hit that got him hurt. I think it’s that Seattle highlight where Hasselbeck hit Chris Durham (#86) and Lewis got folded backwards at the goal line against the 6’5’’, 215-pounder.
But yeah, I’ve seen Lewis knife in for a nice tackle.
Also, I’d love to see another experienced safety added to the mix, which would let them try some other things with Berry.

seriously
so are you one of those dudes that won’t be happy until we have a name brand NFL star at every 53 roster spots? Face it, that is never going to happen.

our players will automatically be name brands :)
"The key to victory is not your strength, but your opponent's weakness." -T.
No ill be happy
When we have a team I feel can win 12 games and win a playoff game. We can’t win 12 games this year as is. Sneaking into the playoffs on luck last year with the easyest schedule we’ve had in years isn’t exactly what I want from my favorite football team. We got embarresed A LOT last year I mean SD DEN OAK 2 TIMES!! Oh and not to mention getting worked by a 40 year old TE in the playoffs. When you get absolutly worked by teams you need to get better enough said

I'll go along with that
So, if you were Pioli starting 5 days ago, what would you have done and be doing right now. Just trying to figure who you are signing under your best case scenario.
CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal
Idk
I mean I don’t know what players would come he like he does. I can’t call up Franklin and say hey would you play in KC. But I would have called the top 5 NTs available and a few ILBs plus maybe even a guy like Pat Williams who has no downside but major upside. I’m not saying its his fault just that he needs to show me a little more than Greg and Breaston for me to trust this team to win a playoff game.
by Kmillz2525 on Jul 30, 2011 7:56 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
first off, there's NOBODY that has no downside (or at least the risk of it)
I am sure that Pioli is already doing far more than you just suggested. Rest assured just because there hasn’t been enough public action to suit you doesn’t mean the FO is sitting around doing nothing.

He's suspended the first 4 games of the season
Would be one downside.
ok, but back to my original question
Who would you sign this week to make yourself happy and confident.
CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal
But to throw out names
Franklin Pat Williams McClain or Vickers. Breaston was a perfect fit but still not gonna be my headliner. Plus depending on what I’m seeing from Studebaker and since I can’t get my freaking Pot smoking 3rd round pick to sign. I might call up an OLB or 2 who may not be studs but could play the game. Oh and I’m calling up Tamba telling him do you want to prove your worth a contract or sign a long term contract for a little less than you would if you repeat? Also Carr would be signed by now . Oh and Takeo Spikes on a 1 year deal or another ILB that would atleast prove belcher isn’t that bad because he can beat this guy out
by Kmillz2525 on Jul 30, 2011 8:07 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
ok
well, rest assured you need not worry about Hali and Carr. We own rights to those guys so there is no need to hurry to sign them this week. Pioli is just concentrating on the guys we need to grab from elsewhere. We WILL sign those guys.
CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal
I WOULD like to see both Carr and Hali signed to multi-year deals, rather than signing the tenders.
But in THIS market, the longer you take to sign, the more you realize how LOW this market is. The BIG dogs are mostly signing surprisingly cheap deals, so waiting does NOT help the players as much as it might in other years. imo. Having patience might just be the smartest thing Pioli could do for the team, like waiting for the Frenchies to come within 40 paces before wasting a musket volley. Hard to wait, but you really need to…
would of ≠ would've
Again w the schedule
We were 6-30 we got no right to call anything easy. Jesus we’ve done nothing but build off of what we had last year. You mean we lost to division teams? Teams that know us inside and out. Damn it was everyones first year together and we came together and got in the playoffs what makes you think were gonna somehow regress? The schedule? That’s a tired ass excuse teams we think are gonna be beast wind up sucking and teams we think will suck will come to the top. In order to be a good team we had to do things like we did last year and build on that which we’ve been doing
by KCinIL on Jul 30, 2011 7:51 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
You pretty much agreed with me
We need to keep building on last year. Part of building is knowing your weaknesses and fixing them. There is no doubt we will play tougher teams this year. Yes some teams last year played really weird to what was expected but we got worked by good teams. We also got embarresed by teams that we could have easily beat such as OAK and SD since we beat SD and should have Beat OAK. In order to build and get better you can’t have games where the whole team looks like they are just lost.
by Kmillz2525 on Jul 30, 2011 8:00 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I disagree
since we beat SD and should have Beat OAK
SD may have more talent, but OAK is just more physical, like Baltimore, another team we struggled against.
Do we have room for improvement? Of course, but free agency isn’t even a week old yet. There’s still many, many players out there that could help the Chiefs. They can’t even practice with the team until August 4th, so I see no real need to rush to sign anyone.
So true story
I used to workout with him! He’s a super cool guy. His hometown is about 40 miles away from mine and he used to train across the street from where my parents live. I approached him one day just to say hi and whatnot. He could have very easily been like “piss off, kid” but he wasn’t like that at all. The fact that KC showed an interset in him shows me even more that this regime values how a player acts off the field just as much as he does on it…and that is encouraging.

does anyone know what a team has to do if they don't meet the salary cap limit in the new CBA?
Ever seen the movie Green Street Hooligans? That's how I feel about my Chiefs.
If they don't meet the floor then the extra money gets distributed among the players.
But there are not individual team salary floors until 2013. The league as a whole needs to spend 99% of the cap, but the Chiefs don’t have a specific number that they have to meet this year.

good
This is my signature line. It is full of awesome and win.
at least they'll have good air conditioning down there now
CHIEFS DYNASTY – we’re kind of a big deal
True
they can remain nice and cool while not attempting to re-sign Tulloch

didn't like seeing Trent Edwards
go to Raiders. Not that he’s something great but he could be better than Campbell. I just hope they have a horrid OL.

Gradkowski was better than Campbell
but that didn’t stop them from playing Campbell. I couldn’t be less worried about the Raiders

you should be
Maybe their offence wasn’t top notch, but their D put it to us. If there is anything that gets under my skin is Chiefs fans underestimating the Raiders. They put it to us twice last year. I want nothing more than that organization to fail, but until otherwise WE are the ones on notice. They have our number for now.
Ever seen the movie Green Street Hooligans? That's how I feel about my Chiefs.
Wow. They beat us twice last year
and promptly fired their HC….got rid of the QB that everyone but the owner thought should be the starter….let their best player become an Eagle….and don’t appear to have any interest in signing their best pass catcher. Color me unimpressed. We’re getting better. They’re getting worse.
BTW…we’re the one who won the division.

I just don't like over looking division opponents.

They're the one's who swept the division.
A agree with zyker, don’t underestimate the Raiders
