Chiefs will use McCluster as a wide receiver

This is odd. The Kansas City Chiefs will be treating former Ole Miss RB Dexter McCluster as a wide receiver, according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star. “FYI: The Chiefs will officially list McCluster as a wide receiver,” Babb tweets. Wow. Ever see any film on McCluster? This kid is a speedy little [...]

The Washington Redskins almost did it. They almost went through an entire offseason without signing some big name who can’t really play anymore. But, according to Adam Schefter, they signed free agent Larry Johnson to a three-year contract today, so they’ve kept their streak alive. “Filed to ESPN: There’s a new running back in Washington.

Chargers tender Sproles at the highest level

Apparently, the San Diego Chargers have changed their minds about letting RB Darren Sproles walk in free agency. The team has tendered him at the first- and third-round levels, meaning he’ll be getting $7.27 million if he stays with the team. That also means that anyone who wants to sign him now, will have to [...]

Chris Terry rocks the party

Despite playing in the NFL for nine years, Chris Terry apparently didn’t make good use of the money he made. If he did, he probably wouldn’t be selling cocaine. The 34-year old former offensive tackle last played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007. He currently plays for the Clark County jail in Indiana where [...]

Jamaal Charles has class, asked to be yanked

Kansas City finally has a running back with class (that’s a shot at Larry Johnson and no one else). RB Jamaal Charles ran all over the Denver defense to the tune of 259 yards on Sunday and did it on only 25 carries. 10+ yards per carry, Denver? Really? Brandon Marshall doesn’t play defense you [...]

Mitchell blasts Larry Johnson

Kawika Mitchell and Larry Johnson were drafted in the same year (2003) by the Kansas City Chiefs. So they were in the same draft class and were teammates for four years.

Mason goes off on Keyshawn

Baltimore Ravens WR Derrick Mason didn’t like some recent comments from Keyshawn Johnson and Cris Carter on a conference call.

Chiefs cut Toomer

The Kansas City Chiefs have released WR Amani Toomer in an effort to trim their roster from 80 players down to 75. Toomer’s release may spell the end of the road for the 35-year old. He showed his trademark good hands in camp but was never able to get separation. That’s a problem.

Dwayne Bowe benched

Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star points out that Chiefs coach Todd Haley has benched their top WR Dwayne Bowe. Haley indicated that he’s not happy with Bowe’s integration into the “program.” We have a tough time believing that this will stick.

Chiefs work out some wideouts

The Kansas City Chiefs could be in the market for a veteran wide receiver as they hosted a trio of….you guess it, veteran wide receivers.
