Am I suppose to jump and down because his stats aren't impressive at all.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
He may go to KC eventually… but not tonight RT @BPerryKCmO: @RapSheet Sean Smiths agent basically said he was going to KC this morning

I don't know twitter what does this mean?

We arent drafting Geno.

@theprogramkc: I know everyone loves the "new regime," but $16M over 4 yrs for a TE (Fasano) that's averaged 412 yards and 4 TD's last 4 yrs is STEEP.

@JasonLaCanfora: Cardinals hosting QB Drew Stanton and RB Rashard Mendenhall for dinner tonite and visits tomorrow. Both have several options available

@caplannfl: Chiefs also may sign a WR later this week. Looking for depth on outside.

Depending on how Elvis Dumervil situation plays out in Denver, Broncos could take run at DE Dwight Freeney or LB Shaun Phillips.

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
They are interested. But he could be gone RT @Chrislee_29: @RapSheet so do you believe KC will have their shot at Sean Smith?

Thank god

BrianHPFC ‏@PFCentral
@dthomashof @rapsheet he's not heading to KC believe me Ian and I have been trying

PFCentral is a joke.

They reported Ellerbe re signed with the ravens for a 5 year deal.

They also reported Steve Breaston signs with the steelers.

ya lmao

Pioli still wont let Cassel go hahah. I was watching the Free Agency Frenzy and he goes this was a solid move with Smith because they need to move on IN THEIR MINDS. LOL dude youre the only one who think Cassel can start

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl
$$ must drop. Leave it at that. RT @Michaelsimonson: @caplannfl Are the Eagles still looking into signing Sean Smith CB?

Here's somebody I would like to see ending up in Chiefs red: Brian Urlacher.

Guy probably only has a season left in him anyway.

He'll be cheap. He can play coverage, he'll probably only play 60% of our snaps in Belcher's role anyway.

Plus... c'mon. Urlacher!

Would like it. Would give us a bad ass leader on D but his health? Meh

I wanna commit suicide

what's stopping you?

Not now please, Overrated!

And a RT, Right?

Dream scenario, sign a CB, ILB and RT then trade down from #1 (getting back the 2nd from the Smith deal) and get another 3rd for Carr. :thumb:

I thought this was a good read:



It's safe to say the NFL never will go back to the midnight start time of free agency. After Tuesday's dizzying cascade of deals, the league might want to considering moving free agency's opening day into prime time. This was great theater, especially if you like watching money being spent.

Let's break down what we learned on Day 1:

The Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are not messing around
Remember that report by NFL.com's Jeff Darlington last week about the Dolphins making wide receiver Mike Wallace their No. 1 option? That was on point. Wallace agreed to a contract within 40 minutes of free agency starting, and then the Dolphins really started spending.

Free-agent tracker
Where will Greg Jennings wind up? Follow him and all the other NFL players on the move in our free-agent tracker. More ...
Miami added linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler to huge contracts, then brought back safety Chris Clemons. Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland is in a contract year, and he's getting desperate. Ellerbe is a nice player, but he has started 13 career games. Wheeler is one year removed from a cheap one-year contract in Oakland. Ireland is buying high.

Ireland doesn't have to look far to realize the folly of paying good players huge money in free agency: He released linebackers Karlos Dansby and Kevin Burnett on Tuesday. Dansby once was the highest-paid inside linebacker in football.

New Cleveland Browns GM Michael Lombardi wasn't as aggressive as Ireland, but he spent big dollars to fix his team's pass rush. Defensive end Paul Kruger and defensive tackle Desmond Bryant were paid $75 million for 32 combined starts. (I like both players. Just not that much.)

This is how the NFL works. A new regime in Cleveland spends big to get the fan base excited. A GM in trouble spends big to save his job. Maybe it will work, but free agency history tells us at least one of these teams will fall flat.

Day 2's big team: The St. Louis Rams
Jeff Fisher outbid the Dolphins for tight end Jared Cook, but the Rams really might make some noise Wednesday, when they host offensive tackle Jake Long and safety Louis Delmas, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport.

Long will have to take a physical for the Rams, and it's unclear how strong his market truly is. Darlington notes that Long still could wind up back in Miami. Then again, the Dolphins have grown accustomed to losing high-profile showdowns with the Rams.

The Detroit Lions also could make some noise Wednesday, when they host safety Glover Quin and running back Reggie Bush. Dashon Goldson's visit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers also might result in a big-money deal.

Not a good day for Ed Reed
We heard heading into Tuesday that Reed was attracting interest from the San Francisco 49ers. By the end of the day, the 49ers were set to host Charles Woodson on a free-agent visit. That doesn't bode well. On a positive note: The Baltimore Ravens should have plenty of money to spend on Reed.

Ravens fans had a worse day
I respect GM Ozzie Newsome so much that I can't criticize him for Tuesday's inactivity. But it had to be painful to watch Ellerbe, Kruger and Anquan Boldin (officially traded) leave town on the same day.

The Ravens wanted to keep Ellerbe, but they weren't going to pay him like one of the best players at his position. The Ravens got this far by drafting, developing and keeping the players they wanted. They wanted to keep Ellerbe, but he is replaceable.

The Super Bowl champions did make a move Tuesday, signing defensive tackle Chris Canty on the cheap. Now that's a Ravens type of deal.

No one knows Bradley Fletcher's name
Chip Kelly's first free-agent acquisitions as Philadelphia Eagles coach came in a five-pack of underrated veterans. That's a good thing.

The Eagles quietly signed five solid veterans, including safety Patrick Chung, tight end James Casey and cornerback Bradley Fletcher. That's Bradley Fletcher, not Fletcher Bradley, as the team sent out in its press release and on Twitter. The former St. Louis Rams cornerback was our No. 56 free agent available overall, but he must not have great name recognition.

His name was repeated as Fletcher Bradley by no fewer than five other news outlets. Fletcher Bradley is the perfect symbol of this new, non-Dream Team Eagles squad.

Speaking of which ...
Nnamdi Asomugha was among the most high-profile cuts Tuesday, but he wasn't even the best cornerback released. Or the second best. Antoine Winfield and Michael Huff both are free to sign elsewhere after being released. Other big Tuesday cuts: Darrius Heyward-Bey, Kevin Walter, Sione Pouha, James Anderson and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Yes, the Buffalo Bills need a starting quarterback. Unless it's Tarvaris Jackson.

QB controversy preview
My favorite random signing: The Kansas City Chiefs picked up former Drew Brees caddy Chase Daniel on a three-year, $9 million contract to back up Alex Smith. Daniel is such an Andy Reid quarterback -- I already can imagine Chiefs fans calling for him to start after Kansas City goes 2-5 to start the season. (And then I can imagine Reid trading Daniel for a second-round draft pick next offseason.)

Plenty of talent available at cornerback and running back
The deep cornerback group could work against free agents such as Sean Smith, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Brent Grimes. The only cornerbacks signed Tuesday were mid-tier guys like Fletcher and Greg Toler (by the Indianapolis Colts). No running backs signed, although Reggie Bush is visiting Detroit on Wednesday and Rashard Mendenhall continues to be closely linked to the Denver Broncos.

Debate: Early winners in free agency?
Who made the best move at the dawn of free agency? Our analysts debate, and Miami earns praise for inking Mike Wallace. More ...
In all, six of my top 10 players remain available, if you don't count Tony Gonzalez. The probable Hall of Famer remains unsigned, but the Atlanta Falcons say it's a "formality" before he's signed. While tight ends flew off the board, the top of the receiver market was quiet after Wallace's signing.

The New England Patriots aren't talking to Wes Welker, according to Rapoport. Greg Jennings is weighing offers from NFC North rivals. Danny Amendola probably is waiting for Welker to sign.

In all, 21 of our top 85 players were accounted for after just seven hours of free agency. That's a lot of movement, and it didn't even include a supposedly imminent Darrelle Revis trade. We're only getting started.

Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.
PREVIOUS ARTICLENEXT ARTICLE"Protection plan: Falcons keep OT Baker on six..."

Mike Wallace and Daniel Ellerbe signed by the Dolphins, while we pick up mediocre players.

We do need a Vrabel-type.

Michal Huff released by Raiders.

Raiders lost Phillip Wheeler LB to the Dolphins.... Ouch

Ya just like they signed Dansby and others 3 years ago. How that work out? We dont need big names to make us in cap hell

Build through the draft. Supplement through free agency. They just cut 2 guys they spent big on a couple years ago to sign those guys LMAO

Worked out pretty well. He had 134 tackles last season.

How many playoff wins genius?

What? We signed Bowe. And we don't need to pay 7 to 8 mil a year for a ILB. We are doing just fine. We can get an ILB for a lot less than that. Ellerbe bent the Dolphins over and didn't even get them a courtesy reach around.

LMAO

So in your opinion, who's had better off seasons the past 2 years? The Dolphins or the Chiefs?

Really? Didn't he JUST sign with them long term?

Nice job Chiefs!

In your pursuit of a shitty CB you ignored a good one.

Marvin Lewis and Gunther Cunningham still have jobs. Lovie Smith does not. Aliens?

I'd be cool with that.

Ravens really are jumping ship now that the window is closed, lost everyone so cut whatevers left and rebuild lol

Evan Silva ‏@evansilva

Mr. @AdamSchefter reported #Lions currently have Reggie Bush, Glover Quin & Jason Jones in town. Will try to sign all 3 in "one fell swoop."

would have really liked Jason Jones

bummer

They just won the Superbowl the owner came out and said they wont sacrifice future years for 2013.

Geoff Mosher ‏@GeoffMosherCSN

Market being set ... RT @jasoncoleyahoo CB Chris Houston deal is 5 yr/$25 mill, $15.5 mill over the first 3 years.

The Chiefs couldn't pay this?

****ing pittance for a very good CB.

Course maybe they don't want two 5-9 CBs.

they paid the exact same for Dunta lol

So $5 million a year for Houston. One would assume Smith and Talib want more but how much more will anyone risk?

Robinson signed a three-year, $15 million contract with $4 million guaranteed

It's really a 1y deal for 5m so whats wrong with the Robinson deal? Everyone bitched last year how this team has no depth.

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl

DT Jason Jones agreed to a deal with the Lions, according to his agent, Mike McCartney.



Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl

Jones fits in as a nickel DT. That's his best position. Excelled inside under Washburn with the Titans.

So many Titan players bailing on the team to head back to thier old coaches. Sad really.

I expect the CB market to pick up today… Antoine Cason, DRC (Denver), Keenan Lewis all may be visiting places today. Sean Smith, too.

Q

Come on some KC CB news I'm waiting

Who is Dunta Robinson? Sorry, haven't been keeping up. Just notice Chiefs welcoming him on Facebook.

I wouldn't mind my boy from Iowa backing up JC and getting some carries... Better then Peyton Hillis. Call him up Reid.

Never mind. Found a thread.

arent Kennan Lewis and Kendrick Lewis related? or like best buddies from the same high school. Come on sign ****ing somebody.

Probably cant sign anymore until Cassels contract is gone.

ProFootballTalk ‏@ProFootballTalk

Lions and Reggie Bush agrees to terms, according to NFL source.

What's up with S Hasain Abdullah? It looks like he was two year starter but I haven't heard anything about him other than his listing in the OP. Kendrick Lewis replacement?

Holy shit.

That's going to be a fun offense.
