oldtimer 8,686 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Chiefs bring in ex Seahawk versatile lineman for a visit Britt, 29, is a former second-round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks by the way of the University of Missouri. He has experience playing all over the offensive line including center, left guard, right guard and right tackle. He started in 86 career games over the span of 2014-2019 but spent the 2020 NFL season as a free agent as he recovered from a serious knee injury suffered late in the 2019 season.  The Chiefs have some future needs along the offensive line at a number of positions and having a versatile player like Britt in the fold could be valuable. If the visit went well, expect the team to sign him to the practice squad or possibly even a reserve/future deal. If you’re not familiar with reserve/future contracts, they allow players to sign with a new team prior to the beginning of the new league year without counting them toward the 53-man roster.

kkuenn 3,597 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Veach keeps turning the roster over looking for these guys. Dont know much about this one but if he plays center well I would love to see him healthy. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DieHard 2,061 Posted January 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2021 I love that they never stop looking. We need some Oline man. Can’t rely on mediocre injury prone nobodies to protect the man. I’d rather lose Watkins and Robinson without replacing them if it meant we could pound the rock when we need a yard and protect PM on a regular basis.

Palangi 788 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 This is a sneaky good signing if we make it. He could be a swing backup or even take the starting center spot allowing Allegretti to be the swing inside guy.  Britt is a much better player than Reiter or Kilgore at center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Very good signing. Britt was a alternate for the pro bowl. This is why we all like veach. The other GMs we had would be busy beating off in the corner of there office. Iluvhouse24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moons314 2,463 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Sounds like a guy at the end of his career that will be the swing backup/6th offensive linemen for a few years to extend his career. Would be a great addition, offering stability in the event of injury.  Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would give us a backup center better then our current starter. Then we could draft one and let them battle for snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't understand what happened with Kilgore. I thought he looked better than the garbage ahead of him on the depth chart. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Not sure how the injury is going but used to be a decent player. He's versatile enough to play any interior position but could end up being a nice stop gap at OC. If healthy I can see him being around and considering our injury status getting some starts in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t go that far but people trying to tell me Hardman was similar to Hill in his first year need to go watch Hill’s rookie year again.  Dude was insane!  Hardman has straight line speed which is nice but he’s our version of John Brown.  We will be targeting a wr somewhere in the off-season as Hardman is at best the #3 guy and that’s kind of a stretch. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, the Chiefs took the unstoppable H-back, Kris Wilson second that year. Parker was a fourth rounder IIRC. That draft was topped in 2009, I think, when they used the first two picks on DE Tyson Jackson and DE Magee. Real steals away from teams less adroit at drafting in those days.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardman's best contribution is on the jet sweep where he can use his speed. He's been underwhelming as a receiver, and in the 4th quarter of a playoff game or Super Bowl, in a 4th quarter drive, I don't have him on the field, as he'd likely drop a clutch 3rd down pass.  oldtimer and Lamardirts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
