Chiefs Sign Former Ravens WR Devard Darling
From the diaries. --Chris
From Adam Teicher:
Former Baltimore wide receiver Devard Darling agreed to terms of a three-year contract with the Chiefs today.
Darling, who will be 26 next month, played four seasons with the Ravens, mostly as a reserve. He caught a total of 20 passes. Eighteen of those catches came last season, when he also scored three touchdowns.Darling, who played in college at Washington State, was a third-round pick by the Ravens in 2004.

Also
3rd round pick.
He wants to be a starter, which is seemingly why he came to the Chiefs.

I like this signing. Not too expensive. Darling is young, good sized and supposed to be fast.

Ok here are his exact words from the text message:
Thanks Michael!
Haha not the most optimistic view, but atleast the word potential made its way in there. He actually just sent another message saying:
"Really hes actually not too bad anbd might be half decent in their offense"
SO thats about the extent of my knowledge on him besides the 2 games I have probably seen him play in. This is a classic Herm signing obvioulsy.

having lived in the b'more area
I had no idea he was on KC's radar, but I like this pickup a ton. Hopefully Brodie can get him the ball. I'll definitely be rooting for him.

Darling
Nothing to get real excited about, but looks like he's going to be given a chance to show what he can do.
Anyone know if he did kick & punt returns in college?

stallion dallion is the winner for me...
i love the signing, we need some other WRs because we only have one that is proven right now, and he is only going into his second year.
not too expensive, but major potential.

The only thing that scares me about this is...
Don't get me wrong, I want DD to succeed, but I just get this "Samie 2.0" feeling under my skin.
But that might just be an indication of how much Samie scarred me.

Physical Characteristics
Darling: 6'1" 215lbs
Parker: 5'11" 190lbs
That right there tells me something. I just think the bigger receivers are what Chan's system calls for - blocking downfield and at the point of attack. Hopefully Darling has a shred of Parker's speed. My guess is we still target a burner to open up things. Besides, he may never even crack the top 3 anyway.
