Chiefs Rumor: Chiefs trying to trade DJ and DaJuan Morgan possibly Albert - Page 3

The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern time and the rumors are going to be swirling for the next 48 hour or so.
This report come from Mike Lombardi at the National Football Post, who has consistently delivered solid insider info from Arrowhead. He was very close on early reports about Matt Cassel's contract.

I do want to stress that this is a rumor. From Lombardi:
The Chiefs are trying to move former 2005 first-round linebacker Derrick Johnson and 2008 third-round safety DeJuan Morgan.
Todd Haley and Co. are making no secret about their unhappiness with the players they inherited from the previous regime.
I’m hearing they don’t like anyone, including Branden Albert, who they feel is not a left tackle.

Strong words from Lombardi as we near the trade deadline. I do believe Lombardi is correct in his comments about the Kansas City Chiefs and their intentions for those players. At least in the sense that there are a lot of Chiefs players who could possibly be moved for the right price. Jay Glazer said earlier today that the Chiefs are open to trading any player except for Matt Cassel.

Back in August, we caught wind of a rumor that Scott Pioli offered the Detroit Lions DaJuan Morgan for a 4th round pick. The Lions didn't bite, possibly giving us a glimpse into what Morgan may be worth on the open market.

The question is - Will any other team bite on either DJ, DaJuan Morgan or Branden Albert?

Trying to throw more shit at the wall, hoping it sticks. They'll fetch great picks like DJ did.

Albert's play has certainly been disappointing this year but i can't believe that he turned to complete shit so quickly. There has to be a reason and a place for him.

it better be a #1 pick since that is what we paid for him and we already paid his signing bonus.

I think several members have touched this issue. I think they mentioned it was the combination of Albert's weight loss and his diabetes or something.

Still, it's way too early to deal him or let him go. ALL young players will struggle at some point. Think of this as a 'sophmore' jinx, if you will?

One, who gives a shit? He reported something erroneously that cost us on draft day.

Two, there are no such things as verbal agreements in the NFL.

What happens when he suffers a career-ending injury between April and July?

Think the Chiefs would still give him $63M?

One thing that I think is hurting Albert is that the play of Brian Waters is really going downhill.

A very good strong possibility as well.

If the idiots trade Albert and Morgan, they must be just making a statement about the Allen trade even more.

Waters penalties always seem to come at the absolutely worst times.

He didn't cost us anything the Chiefs were never going to draft a QB after trading for Cassel and everyone knew that.

My point about a verbal deal is that they probably had the contract parameters all worked out and for some reason that info was leaked.

Does lombardi come up with this stuff while he's sitting on a toilet taking a shit or what???

ChiefsCountry · 10-18-2009, 09:09 PM

By the way Lombardi used to work for the Raiders.

bowener · 10-18-2009, 09:12 PM

Im all for keeping Albert and using his a guard for the rest of his career. I dont give a shit, I just want to have a dominant OL again, and if that means using him as LG since it appears Waters is done, well then lets ****ing do that.

RedThat · 10-18-2009, 09:14 PM

Imo, DJ, Morgan, Albert have shown flashes of playmaking ability but haven't done so on a consistent basis. Because of lack of consistency they don't have the potential to be great players.

So, with that being said, it wouldn't bother me if they traded either of these guys provided that they can get good value in return. That's the key. What type of value can we get? I don't think it'll hurt the team. At least they're trying to aim for improvement.
