  1. no not really of course dad has cognitive issues now but all he did was sing Jim's praises. Capt of the Football Team(s) etc etc just a stand up All American kinda guy. Dad wanted to go to his funeral but in his physical condition just too much to risk (his wife is very protective). Probably for the best as he can go off on tangents that could leave the unknowing scratching their heads. Him and Biden have that in common.
  2. Chiefs TE Jody Fortson Leaves Training Camp Practice With Injury The Chiefs' tight end suffered an injury during the team's Saturday morning practice. JORDAN FOOTE 2 HOURS AGO The Kansas City Chiefs' first week of full-team training camp practice is in the books, and they got out of action on Saturday with a mostly clean bill of health. That didn't include tight end Jody Fortson, however, as he left practice early with an injury. Per Matt McMullen, the Chiefs' senior team reporter, Fortson's injury is to his quad and an update on his status will be provided by the team on Monday (Kansas City has a day off on Sunday). Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star adds that the 26-year-old tight end rode away and up the hill from the Chiefs' training camp practice field in the passenger seat of a cart.
  3. but yet some slapnut would still be wanting Veach fired
  4. my bad I thought you where referring to Ingram/Chiefs deal last year. That being said Florida does not have an income tax soo your take home pay goes a lot further
  5. I read an article a few days ago mentioning Dana as a possible trade option
  6. Dunlap signed for 17 games Ingram signed for 8.
  7. no Ingram didn't play till week #9 early November IIRC
  8. Training camp just started I'm not really sure how the 2nd paragraph can be true but Yea we have always known that DE was a weakness with Clark and this guy seems would be a solid addition. I see it comparable to a Suggs signing.
  9. thats the slowest that #10number has been in a longtime
  10. see when yo say stupid shit like that it's hard to be taken seriously. He has 2 Chiefs SB appearances as a Chiefs D-Co and beat the previously unbeaten Pats in the SB with the giants. His resume speaks for itself and altho you may BB& C about Spags you provide no solution to whom would be better IYO.. Andy much like back in the day Vermiel Defense will always take back seat to offense when it comes to priority and with a 1/2 B Qb that is probably the right approach. Yea it could be argued keeping the likes of Dirty Dan and that light in the pants LB who I pleasantly have forgotten his name around probably wasn't the best decision but that could be said about all coachs.
  11. Report: Chiefs to Host USFL Defensive Player of the Year for Workout In desperate need of some help at defensive end, the Chiefs are leaving no stone unturned. JORDAN FOOTE 44 MINUTES AGO The Kansas City Chiefs' 2022 training camp is cleared for takeoff this week, and the team is preparing in St. Joseph, MO for another season of possible playoff contention. Despite boasting some serious talent on this year's squad, though, there's a massive question that remains on the roster: Has Kansas City done enough to add quality depth at defensive end? General manager Brett Veach is exhausting all options to find an answer, and that includes possibly bringing in some reinforcements from another league. Per NFL reporter Dov Kleiman, the Chiefs will host pass-rusher Chris Odom for a workout on Wednesday. Odom, who most recently played for the Houston Gamblers of the United States Football League (USFL) this year, was named the Defensive Player of the Year following a campaign that saw him record 41 tackles and 121/2 sacks over the course of 10 games. The 2017 undrafted defensive end is 27 years old and will turn 28 by the beginning of the 2022 NFL regular season. Kleiman adds that Odom, an Arkansas State alum, has recently worked out for the Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals and New Orleans Saints as well. This isn't his first time dipping his toe in the NFL waters, as he's been a member of the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders in the past. In 11 career games in the league, he's logged 16 combined tackles, two sacks, two quarterback hits and a forced fumble. Odom has played 106 regular-season snaps at the NFL level. In addition to hosting Odom for a workout, the Chiefs signed former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Azur Kamara on Tuesday afternoon. Kamara, who has also spent time with the Carolina Panthers, is a University of Kansas product who went undrafted back in 2020 and spent the entirety of his rookie campaign on the injured reserve list before appearing in nine games with the Cowboys last year.
  12. I think that'd be cutting your nose of in spite of your face..pretty expensive one year rental IMO.. can they rescind the tag? I'd be surprised if they could.
  13. https://www.si.com/nfl/chiefs/gm-report/top-3-lt-options-for-kc-chiefs-if-orlando-brown-jr-misses-time?fbclid=IwAR3Ol8kpJvQW_jJOkVmSr7KRxri6uZ2q3Qa2jKaqb_RUusQLOPydY0Tob68 Top 3 LT Options for Chiefs if Orlando Brown Jr. Misses Time If things get dicey, Kansas City has multiple suitable options to choose from. JORDAN FOOTE 20 HOURS AGO The first set of Kansas City Chiefs has reported to training camp in St. Joseph, MO, and everyone else arrives at Missouri Western State University this week. That group of "everyone else" may not include left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., however. Head coach Andy Reid has made it perfectly clear that the team won't wait around for Patrick Mahomes's blindside protector, and he's unsure of whether Brown will be a participant in camp after the team failed to agree with him and his agent on a contract extension. Pessimism right before that July 15 deadline led some to believe that Brown skipping some or all of training camp — or even time into the regular season — is a legitimate possibility, so Kansas City still has to be prepared for that to happen. If it does, who could step in to replace him? Let's take a look at some prime candidates. 1. Geron Christian Let's address the elephant in the room: Geron Christian isn't even guaranteed to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster out of camp. Many are leaving him out of their roster projections, so why would he suddenly become the No. 1 left tackle on the team in the event of Brown being absent? Experience, health and recent success are three decent reasons why. Christian, a third-round pick by the Washington Commanders, is entering his fifth season in the NFL and is now on his third team in as many years. After getting off to a very solid start with the Houston Texans last season, Christian closed out the campaign with a 78.8 Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade. That ranked 15th among all qualified tackles in the NFL and was right in line with Brown's mark for the year. From a pass protection standpoint, Christian could step in and help the Chiefs experience minimal dropoff from Brown. Run blocking is where he struggled immensely last season, though, which would present a trade-off for Reid and company to assess. Still, if the Chiefs need a decent veteran pass blocker, he'd be a suitable choice. He shouldn't be discounted on such a wide scale just yet. 2. Joe Thuney When Reid spoke last week, he made it a point to mention that left guard Joe Thuney could step in and play left tackle if he had to. Heck, he even did so late last season and had a very quality game in the absence of Brown. Even with little experience at the position (and possibly still battling a broken hand from earlier in the season), Thuney showed that he's capable being kicked out from his normal spot. If need be, he can do it again this year. There's even a soft argument to be made for the Chiefs getting more value out of Thuney at left tackle. His record-setting contract at left guard is less than ideal despite him being worth it, but paying him top guard dollar to serve as a tackle would be the Chiefs getting the most bang for their buck. On the downside, moving Thuney away from center Creed Humphrey could put the second-year lineman at a bit more of a disadvantage. Much like the trade-off with Christian at left tackle, there's one for Thuney being there as well. From strictly an ability standpoint, on the other hand, it makes some sense. 3. Jason Peters This month, 40-year-old Jason Peters said he wants to give the NFL another run this season. He doesn't have a strong preference between a ready-made unit and a young one (the Chiefs have a mix of both) and wants to win (the Chiefs can give him that). He also has familiarity with Reid, whose old Philadelphia Eagles traded for him years ago. If that, combined with some uncertainty surrounding Brown, isn't a near-perfect storm... there may not be one for the veteran tackle. As far as ability is concerned, Peters certainly isn't what he once was. With that said, he did grade out as Pro Football Focus' 22nd tackle last season. A top 25 producer is a player who can play on just about any NFL offensive line, especially if he's stepping in at such a premium position. Unlike Thuney (or even Christian, to a lesser extent), however, Peters would have quite the learning curve entering a new system. The familiarity with Reid helps, but this version of the Chiefs' offensive attack isn't what Peters has been used to. With all of that said, if Kansas City is intrigued by the idea of scouring the free agent market for help, Peters should be at or near the top of their list.
  14. there used to be an old saying about how training camp hold outs suffer more injuries during season..not sure if that holds true anymore but has always stuck in my mind
  15. be curious to see how the Chiefs handle this. I dont think Veach is going to fukaround tho. Brown may want to have a food sampler if he comes to KC.
  16. our prayers are answered..SUPER BOWL! I can foresee lots of bodies coming through to see if a solid shows up whats Prince Wango tango on the pup for? Drink too much Purple Rain?
  17. If so that means he could come back later season? too much talent just to sit a year
  18. wonder who the Fan/media fav will be this year? There is always some Undrafted or late round pick who captures everyone's imagination
  19. Well that just sucks. I'm sure I'll get a call from my Dad about this one as he and my Dad were classmates at Notre Dame and lived in the same Parish in KC, he had even been over to our house on occasions..great guy.
