More Chiefs News

  • Is Brodie Croyle just the latest Chiefs QB to be drafted but not developed or could he be the one to replace Trent Green someday? I don't see anything yet but I'll be rooting for him just the same. Croyle holds the Crimson Tide records for career passing yards, attempts, completions, and touchdowns, as well as some single season records.
  • Willie Roaf reportedly retired this last week. The poor guy can barely even walk but he was still one of the best offensive tackles in the game right up until the end. The young Jordan Black, NFL Europe's Will Svitek, and veteran bad boy Kyle Turley will fight to replace him.
  • Will Ty Law be part of turning the Chiefs' defense around or is KC the locale for him to ride off into his career's sunset? Key numbers: 32 years old, 5 Pro-Bowls, $30 million over 5 years, 10 interceptions last year with Herm Edwards.
  • I'd kind of like to see Priest Holmes just retire. The team doesn't need him urgently with Larry Johnson and he could seriously jeopardize his long term health by playing more. He's a nice guy that should just walk away. Maybe he could get involved in coaching or scouting or something.

I am soooo ready for some football. I wish Willie would have announced his retirement at the end of the season in January instead of the day before camp. I also understand that Eddie Kennison is not happy with his contract and wanting more money. Well, now with Willie gone, that frees up money for Eddie. But my question...Is he that valuable and does he really deserve it? Any wonderful free agents out there to replace Willie? If not, LJ had better have "happy feet". Go Chiefs!!!!!

Sure seems like Kennison is in a power position-- the Chiefs need him if they want to have any real threat at WR in order to take the heat off the Larry Johnson. The problem is Carl doesn't want to overpay Kennison and it'll be interesting to see how Kennison reacts now that his best buddy, Vermeil, isn't around to talk sense into him.
