And yet signing Coby Fleener to a 5-year, 36 million dollar deal was the priority?!?

There is a comment there about biting the bullet that us Greg Hardy. Its a vile bullet but maybe getting to be a option?

Or is that just Galette mark 2

Packers passed. (PTP) They signed a defensive lineman...

We should be signing a starting tight end and a tall wide receiver...

The Chiefs have another SMU candidate now in undrafted rookie Shak Randolph, who met Hunt at the recent rookie minicamp in Kansas City.

"We had a good talk," Randolph said. "We had a good talk about where the SMU program is going. I think it's back on the rise now. Coach [Chad] Morris is doing a great job of turning things around now."

Asked whether Hunt promised him a job because he played for the Mustangs, Randolph shook his head.

"I'm just an average Joe out here trying to have fun and make plays," he said.

If he's to get a roster spot, Randolph will have earned it by impressing Andy Reid and the defensive coaches. But Randolph is anything but an average Joe.

A defensive back, Randolph stands out for his size. The Chiefs have him listed at 6-3, though he says he's an inch taller, and 213 pounds.

That's big for a safety, where Randolph played during the rookie camp. But it's huge for a cornerback, where he played some at SMU. Interestingly, the Chiefs list him as a corner on their roster.

He's built a lot like Sean Smith, the long, slender starting cornerback from the past three seasons who moved on in March to the Oakland Raiders as a free agent.

"I have long arms so it's easy to get your hands on people," Randolph said. "Really, you can eliminate the fade route, easily. If they throw it up, I'm 6-4 and rangy and can jump, so that really eliminates a lot of things."

Randolph made an interception that way at rookie camp. One of the quarterbacks tried to force a fade pass but Randolph had it covered well.

General manager John Dorsey happened to be watching from the sideline near the spot where Randolph made his interception. Dorsey generally misses nothing at practice but in case he didn't see this particular play, Randolph rolled the ball to Dorsey, bowling-style.

Randolph already has the Chiefs' chairman on his side. It doesn't hurt to have the general manager there, either

So what exactly are the Chiefs getting in Randolph?
"Shakiel Randolph -- 6-3 1/2, 213 -- ran the 40-yard dash in 4.63 and 4.59 seconds (it should be noted that the surface was a soft FieldTurf surface and not particularly fast) at SMU's pro day," wrote NFL.com's Gil Brandt. "He had a 42-inch vertical jump and 10-foot-10 broad jump. He did the 20-yard short shuttle in 4.45 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.13 seconds.
"He also did 16 reps of 225 pounds on the bench press. Randolph worked out at linebacker, cornerback and safety at the pro day, but his best position is probably safety. Randolph was really good catching the ball in his positional drills."
Here is video of the 42-inch vertical jump.

Randolph has the potential to make the Chiefs roster. He's a versatile athlete who has yet to reach his ceiling. But Randolph was plagued by injuries at SMU, so staying healthy will be key.
Randolph notched 31 tackles last season. His best year statistically came as a sophomore when he recorded 37 tackles

He'll fit right in to our group.

Kristian: Saints sign OL Khalif Barnes, are a tick healthier overall

Offensive lineman Khalif Barnes has been added to the Saints roster, agreeing to terms on a one year deal first reported by NFL Network. To make room for Barnes on the roster the Saints placed LB Obum Gwachem on Injured Reserve.

I hope they plan to use this old dog at OG. OT is not where he belongs at his age. His legs aint what they use to be. He is a solid option at OG

No doubt about it. I never understood why he had such a lukewarm market as a free agent.

Craig Robertson is a skilled LB & tackling machine. After 3 games, he has my vote. Nick Fairley is a distant second for me.

Some interesting names on a heavy day of Saints DE and LB tryouts, including former Colts first-round pick Bjoern Werner, former Tulane standouts Dezman Moses and Royce LaFrance, and DE Greg Townsend Jr. (son of the former Raiders great). Also trying

What?!!

Didn't see that one coming. Sucks for Jamie though.

brees84 10-31-2016 12:34 PM

Re: 2016 Saints Free Agency
 

Hard to blame either side. Pats didn't want to pay him and Jamie knows he is probably top 5 LB in the game (in my opinion most complete LB in the game). He can lineup everywhere. I saw him once covering WR. His looked like Revis out there. Browns will pay him...
