2011 NFL free agency and trade thread
Lunatic:
If Titans cut Young (happening at 3PM this afternoon), Hppe & Gage (2 cuts that should happen), that gives us nearly 30 mil in cap space.
Sign Mebane at DT, Dave Ball at DE (or Ray Edwards), a solid MLB, SS (Michael Huff), OL & WR.

Chiefs picked up Steve Breaston from the Cardinals. This is a good move because...
-Last year the weakest position on the team was at wide reciever. The Chiefs had one solid reciever in Dwayne Bowe, then after that they shuffled many players in and out as the #2 reciever, such as Chris Chambers and Terrance Copper, and things got so bad that they ended up picking up Kevin Curtis off the street to be their #2 reciever in the playoffs against Baltimore.
-Now the receiver position is a huge strength for the Chiefs. With Pro Bowler Dwayne Bowe, first round draft pick Jonathon Baldwin, and Steve Breaston most likely in the slot.
-Steve Brestons biggest year was 2008 when he had 100+ catches and 1,000+ yards receiving. His offensive coordinator then was Todd Haley, who is now the head coach of the Chiefs.
-Breaston's numbers may not have been spectacular last year, but that was because Arizona had no QB. They went from Matt Lienert to Max Hull and so on, and never found a decent QB

^ That's a good move
Chiefs got pretty explosive at WR via draft/free agency.
There WR corps was ugly last year

yeah, but now they are dangerous. Because remember Haley was a wide receiver coach for most of his career, it is the position he knows best. Larry Fitzgerald credits Haley for making him great. So now he's got the talent and he knows how to turn that talent into results

Kurt Warner really helped Haley look better than he was. Haley couldn't get anything out of Leinart, and I don't think Cassel has the presence of Warner, or the talent around him. Bowe and Breaston are not Fitzsz and Bolden. Lucky for theChiefs that the AFC West is as wide open as it gets.
Haynes makesd no sense to me. He can't play NT, and the Pats don't need one anyway, and he can't play DE; so what is the point of him. They'll stop the run grreat, and Blitz great but their pass rush will be horrible unless they always blitz and then teams with wiley QBs will eat them alive.
