Whatever we would sign him for. He is a free agent so we don't have to pick up any of his old contact.

I don't think Strief would be interested on going back to the bench, he is good enough to start in this leauge.

Big man telling it how it is, and I honestly could not fault any word that he said during that video

He is correct in every aspect that people should be ashamed if they cheer when someone gets hurt, especially an injury that causes hardship for the rest of the athletes life such as brain injuries

Get that guy brought in, I like his fire and attitude

He's a great right tackle, but we can't afford it with...

Let's see Mr. Magic figure that out - but not everyone can "get paid" when you've got so much money tied up in so few players...

Appreciated him tough'n it out through the groin injury, but get in better shape and play better if you don't want to get planted on the bench!

I don't know about that... it's hard to give him an honest evaluation since he's had injuries that've hampered his ability to perform on the field, but even still I think he has benefited from the strong interior of that O-line just like Bushrod.

Winston signed a four-year, $22 million deal last offseason, but he struggled early in the year and then ran afoul of some fans after he criticized a small percentage for cheering when embattled quarterback Matt Cassel sustained a head injury during a game.

Winston would have made $4.9 million in base salary this season. The move saves the Chiefs $6.5 million against the salary cap

Y! SPORTS

well we would need to get everyone and i mean everyone on board with reconstruction contracts, except Drew makes no sense to through him in there cap wise as we discussed.

Then we are done adding any more FA for the most part maybe a few million left over to play with but thats it

He would effect the draft big time as would the the esigning of bushrod. Which as most people know i am not crazy about but right now till numbers come out i really do not see an option out there that would not be a risk to Drew.

We need to move Bushrod to RT. He's better suited for that side. Strief needs to be a back up. A LT is what we need. Someone to protect Drew's blind side. Drew likes to hold on to the ball for a long time though. I think he was the cause of a lot of his sacks. Except when it came to Strief and the right side. People blew right by him at times.

Definitely the kind of man, player, team mate every one would want. He also cash strapped 2 teams in 2 years. Don't see him signing with a team that has salary cap issues........

Oh make it happen Loomis, I wanted him back in 2006 (he only went to JrH and HS with my brothers) but the fing Texans took him right before the Saints took Harper

Re: Want a rt, this guy just got released!!!! Get him now
 
how about sign him let Bush walk and gamble on trading up in the draft for a LT lmao this should shake things up

Re: Want a rt, this guy just got released!!!! Get him now
 
It looked like Robinson played pretty well at RT. He and Bushrod are smaller, faster tackles. I say use the money on pass rushers since we are still not going tpo have a great secondary and Drew's quick release will help the O-line as usual. Strief stunk at RT. He's too tall.

We can't afford to resign Bushrod, move him to RT, and then pay for a LT. Unfortunately, we don't have the money. However, I feel like we definitely need to upgrade both positions.

Really surprised he got cut. He collects a lot of yellow flags, but he is a good starter???

Bring him it great heart and passion.

Cant put my finger on it, but something about this guy doesnt smell right. Chiefs need oline more than cap space. Get him to MSY for a full cavity scan. He passes, head to Airline. Fails, keep his luggage on the plane

Re: Want a rt, this guy just got released!!!! Get him now
 
Why not bring him in and let Bushrod walk. Convert him to the left side. Later round draft pick up a backup. Know its easier saiid that done but what the hell we meed money take some chances.

Re: Want a rt, this guy just got released!!!! Get him now
 
I love the guy. He is well spoken, a great person and a decent player. He will be too expensive though. Bushrod is marginally better and I would prefer consist personnel over rotating bodies in.

lee909 03-08-2013 11:38 AM

Your last point is a major thing for me.
I don't want to loose Bushrod and potentially DLP in the sane offseason.We need some consistency on the line.

Not to mention losing the O-line coach as well.
