Mailbag: Should Chiefs trade for Andre Johnson? from ESPN

They'd be making a huge mistake if they did. He's scheduled to make $10.5 million this year. That's a lot of money to pay a wide receiver who's going to be 34 in July. Let's see what the Chiefs do at wide receiver. If their moves aren't satisfactory, Johnson might make some sense for the Chiefs on a one-year contract full of incentives after he has been released. But not in a trade.

NFL Rumors: Latest Buzz Surrounding Free Agents and Possible Trades Before March 10 Deadline Including Ndamukong Suh & Darrelle Revis from The Latin Post

The Kansas City Chiefs know they have a big hole at wide receiver considering not one wide out caught a touchdown for them last season. The biggest free agent to be wide receiver that Chiefs have had their eyes on is Jeremy Maclin. Maclin has said he would approve a reunion with head coach Andy Reid.

Giants Day 1 free-agency roundup: Parker could be affordable option at safety spot from NY Daily News

Devin McCourty is the biggest prize in the free-agent safety market, but as the head of a thin class he will be extremely costly. That's why the Giants are hedging their bets and looking at other potential replacements for Antrel Rolle.

One possibility that emerged on Saturday was Kansas City Chiefs safety Ron Parker, a speedy, 6-foot, 206-pounder who started 15 games last season. He began the season as a cornerback, but switched to safety to replace Pro Bowler Eric Berry, who was out at first with an ankle injury and later with Hodgkin lymphoma. The Giants were one of seven teams to express an interest in him in the first hours of free agency, according to an NFL source.

Best Team Fits For The Top 25 NFL Free Agents [11-15] from CBS Pittsburgh

15) Jeremy Maclin WR Philadelphia Eagles- Maclin bet on himself before last season by signing only a one year deal with the Eagles worth $6 million dollars after missing all of 2013 with a torn ACL.  That bet is about to pay off in a BIG way this offseason after Maclin had a career year as the number one wide receiver in Chip Kelly's high flying offense.  Maclin caught 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns averaging over 15 yards per catch.  The Eagles have more than enough money to retain him and definitely need his skills at wide receiver.  Another team that I think would fit Maclin's possession style of game well is the Kansas City Chiefs. The other connection there of course is his former head coach Andy Reid is currently the head man in KC.
