Chiefs Rumor: Chiefs trying to trade DJ and DaJuan Morgan possibly Albert - Page 2

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?

Mike Lombardi is still a clueless hack.

Wasn't he right on this especially on the numbers?

I'm aware of that, but he was, reportedly, wearing the black ankle boot.

Plus, he would need clearence not only from the KC doctors, but also from the other team's doctor in order for that trade to happen.

Plus, it just doesn't make sense to trade away linemen, an area where they are in desperate need of players right now.

Albert has not looked good this year, no question about that. I wouldn't cry about any of this I guess.

no, but he's still better than everybody else they have, except for maybe waters. they can't really afford even LESS depth on the line.

**The Bad Guy** · 10-18-2009, 08:50 PM

I don't buy for one minute they don't like Brendan Albert.

I honestly, can't wait until the NFL trade deadline passes, so we don't have to see garbage articles like these.

It's a ****ing sham.

I wasn't advocating benching him, I was commenting on how my level of upset if they traded him on a scale of 1 to 10 would be about a 2.

For the record - I don't believe this story.

Since the Pioli regime has arrived, the media has done nothing with the Chiefs but pass off naked speculation as "news".

This is probably just more speculative "reporting"

Now that I know we're not going 0-16 i'm ok with stock piling draft picks for guys that minimally contribute. See ya.

I want to hear more, where someone says Bowe seems like a good fit for the Ravens, then someone else reports it as a "rumor" then someone changes it on wikipedia just to be funny, then more people report this "rumor", then people start a million topics asking if the deal is dead or what, and then after the trade deadline people will probably start topics about how they let the deadline pass without improving the team or how we should have flipped all these guys to other teams that were just drooling draft picks over a 1-5 team's castoffs...

...and then a reporter dispells a rumor he started, taht too

True on passing a physical. One thing we have to think about is that this team had one of its better offensive output especially running on the left side without Albert

I know he signed in July but the numbers he reported on were correct which means they probably had a verbal deal
