“It doesn’t matter who you are he wanted the best out of you. Him (Todd Haley) being on my back, made me want to prove him wrong. He said I wouldn’t be anything more than a special teams player. I think he saw my developing as a player and believed in me. Coach Haley ain’t always a butt hole, he’s a great coach and a great guy and he was the main reason I wanted to come to Kansas City.

He said it...did you hear it?

“I like (Steve) Breaston to the Chiefs. They got Baldwin in the draft, which I’m still very much up in the air about, and obviously Dwayne Bowe is still there,who came on gangbusters last year and I think is ready to be that elite receiver no question about it but they need a speed guy and a slot guy. (Dexter) McCluster is like that piece of furniture that’s in the living room to see where it fits and you aren’t really sure. They need a guy like Breaston who can break up coverages for their bigger playmakers and no doubt he would be a great fit.”

Musings from around the Interwebs:

ESPN’s Best Free Agency fit for the Chiefs

Aubrayo Franklin #92 DT San Francisco

After being franchised last season, San Francisco's giant nose tackle put in another productive season anchoring the middle of the 49ers' defense.In each of the past two seasons, Franklin has been in the top five for defensive linemen in stop rate, our measure of how successful a player was at keeping the offense from having a productive play. True nose tackles are in high demand these days, but the best fit for him comes in Kansas City, where the Chiefs could stand to do better than 32-year-old Ron Edwards.

2010 Stats:

Tackles: 39 Solo: 38 Ast 1.0 Sacks 0.0 Int 0.0

ESPN’s Best first post-lockout move

Kansas City Chiefs-- Sign T Jermon Bushrod

The Chiefs ranked 18th in adjusted sack rate in 2010, and don't have much depth at the offensive tackle position. With quarterback Matt Casseldue a $7.5 million option bonus this year, the least the Chiefs can do is protect him better. The best tackle on the free-agent market is Bushrod, who has been protecting Brees' blindside the past two seasons in New Orleans.

Draft expert Tony Pauline on a potential Undrafted Free Agent for the Chiefs

Derrick Locke/RB/Kentucky:

Locke is another who fell out of the draft after sustaining a knee injury during the 2010 season. The dynamic playmaker has been compared to Dexter McCluster,the second-round phenom of the Kansas City Chiefslast season. Locke produces as a running back, pass catcher or kick returner. He'd be a great fit for the St. Louis Rams or Miami Dolphins, a pair of teams in need of a versatile skill player.

He said it…did you hear it?

“Yes and it makes sense that the Royals are going to benefit from the fact that they are the more palatable option. The Astros will ask for a billion players for Hunter Pence and the Mets will be asking for a boatload. I think teams will then turn to the Royals and say “Let’s make a deal for Melky Cabrera because your price tag is the best.”
