Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

teams interested in him by rumor or report

"CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the Chiefs are "very interested" in free agent Chase Daniel.
Per La Canfora, Daniel's market has been surprisingly "very hot" and he could command a long-term backup deal worth "in excess" of $3 million per season. Daniel, 26, would be a respectable clipboard holder for Alex Smith in Kansas City."

Re: Chase Daniel
 

I have no idea why he would want to go backup Freeman.... they must want to offer him a lot more just to be a backup.

Then again, we don't exactly have money to pay backups this season. Hope it falls through and he stays.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Hate to say it but I would totally pull the trigger on that in Kansas City, if I was the coach there. In a lot of ways he and Alex Smith have similar "good but not GREAT" skill sets, it's a style based on kind of average QB play, and they both can tuck and run with the ball to move the chains, which can sometimes give a defense fits. Smith is definitely better, but I'm really not even sure Smith is all THAT much better than Chase, they're both pretty mediocre actually. They have oodles of cap space over there in KC, too.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

I hope he does not go to the tampa

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Couldn't agree more. Noticing a lot of Atlanta and now Tampa Bay intra-division probes on players. Hope we're returning the favor.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

They want to kidnap a citizen to find the secrets of our stronghold!

Re: Chase Daniel
 

I never understood this. I'm sure there's nothing he could tell them that they don't already know by watching 11 zillion hours of film on us and playing us twice a year..

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Our division rivals are more active in FA than us. How much money does Atl have under the cap exactly?

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Still waiting for some actual information!

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Alex Smith has two things over Chase Daniel:

1. Starting experience

2. Size/height

Re: Chase Daniel
 

They were at around $17 million prior to the Gonzo deal. That should be about $10 million under with Baker and Grimes still needing signed.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Because he could beat out Freeman for the starting job!

Bills have cut Fitzpatrick
Might be a opening there

Re: Chase Daniel
 

I don't know what to make of any of it. One thread screams "Over the CAP by $$$$$$$$$$$" and the very next one " Saints target Free Agents" I'll wait and see.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Seem to be. We will see.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Chiefs reached agreement in principle on three-year deal with former Saints QB Chase Daniel, who played at Missouri.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Thansk for everything

Re: Chase Daniel
 

That will be interesting, Daniel and Smith in competition.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

Well, he has a much better chance of winning the starting job there.

Good for Chase. Good dude.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Congratulations Chase!! Best of luck to him in the future!

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I hope he does well with the Chiefs and Mr. Reid.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I certainly wish him well.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Chase NOT heading to Tampa?

I'm cool with that. Best of luck Chase!

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I'm happy to have Chase here in KC!

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Alex smith has lost his starting job countless times, chase may get a shot sooner than expected

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I'd love to see him beat out Smith for the starting gig!

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Well this should create a bit of interest this offseason to see who our new backup QB will be. Will it a be a rookie or a reclamation project of some sort?

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

LMAO what if Daniels out plays Smith n preseason and is giving the starting job.... should smith jus give up lol

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Canfield can... yes he can!

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

OK... good for Chase.... but where are the naysayers on getting another backup QB to train under Brees..... Canfield sucks!

Jordan Jefferson anyone? <sarcasm>

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I'm wondering what Cassel is looking for. I'd take him as Drew's backup for a year while we draft a quarterback in the later rounds to develop.

Other names to consider: Drew Stanton, Tavaris Jackson, Derek Anderson, Tyler Thigpen, Sage Rosenfels

I'm a Tyler Wilson fan and if he's there with a mid round pick by any chance(highly doubt it), I'd be interested. Landry Jones, Zac Dysert, and Sean Renfree would make some solid late round options.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

how old is Thigpen?

He kind of intrigued me 2-3 years back when he was in KC.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Still only 28.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

yeah.... guess his days are really numbered in KC... might be too many $.

Jarrett Lee maybe? lol


Fitzpatrick got released as well... he's a Harvard grad.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Good Luck Chase.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

I get what you mean, but I think the benefit of signing somebody important from a nemesis divisional team is that (back up to a hypothetical Chase in Tampa Bay for a second), the guy from the former team, can help to give you those tendencies and information, without you having to watch the 11 zillion hours of film. Which frees up 11 zillion hours of coaching time for something else, which has gotta help.

Fujita with the Browns, those sacks and interceptions -- no question in my mind something was going on. All the crazy stuff they did with special teams in that game, could easily have come from the Cleveland coaches having more time to look in depth at that stuff, because Fujita was helping the defensive side of the ball, giving the defense pointers and coaching them up. Having "help" on D is one potential explanation for the full-frontal punch in the mouth the Browns gave us.


Also one that I'll never forget, in the 1st Giants game with Shockey as a Saint, in 2009... I forget the exact point in the game, there was a crucial Giants offensive play -- I think the Giants had an important 3rd down to convert, or something like that...there was a timeout, the Saints defense came over to the sidelines, and Shockey was suddenly in the defensive huddle with the guys, talking to the defense. I mean I saw it with my own two eyes, there it was...maybe it was just a pep talk, but here was a situational thing of down and distance, an offense he knew.... Shockey stepped in and talked to the defense, and whatever was said, they definitely stopped the Giants offense on that drive. It doesn't have to be formalized, even just a guy saying to the defense, "look out for the blah blah blah play, they are gonna run left" on the sidelines can really make a difference.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

ya, Mr. Fajita was catching our signals all day long in that game. hated it at the time, but, hey, whatcha gunna' do? it's part of the game.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

Yep, Scott knew our defensive signals. Why we didn't change those up amazes me.

Re: Chase Daniel to Chiefs
 

I was talking about knowing the offensive signals. They stuffed just about everything we threw at them that day. They surely had Bree's number that day. I forget how many sacks it was, but it was tuuuurible.

Re: Chase Daniel
 

The Fujita influenced game plan Cleveland rained down on us in our own house.......don't want to go there again.
