Chiefs Rumor: Chiefs trying to trade DJ and DaJuan Morgan possibly Albert - Page 5

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?

Fine, they don't think Albert is a LT. I happen to agree. But don't trade him, move him to another position and find your LT elsewhere. Dude is a good offensive lineman.

**The Bad Guy** · 10-18-2009, 09:50 PM

At his current weight though, he's not playing guard. He's way too light. They have to beef him up considerably.

I think the spread offense really hurt his development this year.

CoMoChief · 10-18-2009, 09:50 PM

This would be a bad move if they traded Albert. If they dont think he's a tackle, then move him to guard and Waters to RG. Address LT in the draft or FA.

DJ needs to be on the field....PERIOD.

Mike Brown sucks...can't tackle.....again that was evident today. At least give Morgan some PT. He played well in the preseason games.

**Reaper16** · 10-18-2009, 09:50 PM

I'll believe this horseshit when I see it. Not that it would surprise me... I just like to hold out hope that Pioli is a good evaluator of talent and not just an odd-ball, eccentric one.

Lombardi's numbers weren't accurate. He had Cassel getting $36M guaranteed.

The whole story was a total fail on his part.

Yep. Guard. Possibly teach him to play RT.
Boy, that J.A. trade keeps getting better all the time.

Why does DJ need to be on the field?

So he can fail to maintain gap responsibility and give up another long run?

You could say that, I guess. I don't think it was because of that offense but more of what the coaching was like last year. The coaches were content to let Albert coast on his natural ability (and he did very well). This year the coaches changed his body weight and are having him alter his fundamentals... the way his body moves and the way his mind and body work together have been completely changed. It is unsurprising to me that he hasn't jumped out of the gate with success.

Speaking of gap responsibility, who failed to do the job where Clinton Portis went off on that play? Anybody? I can't remember, from the top of my head, who the hell blew that one.

This, he tries to freelance too much. He needs to just do his job.

Here's that holding penalty on Mays, that sprung Cliton Porktis.

Mays has done a nice job in run defense for the most part, but his pass coverage leaves a lot to be desired.

It will interesting to see how Belcher develops.
