Chiefs RUMOR Dallas Clark a Chief RUMOR - Page 2

thabear04 · 05-12-2012, 02:04 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs have been cautiously aggressive this offseason, adding depth at key positions through free agency and the draft.

Confirmed players to have signed with the Chiefs are right tackle Eric Winston, cornerback Stanford Routt, tight end Kevin Boss, and quarterback Brady Quinn to name a few. However, the team has been*very active in bringing in*other potential signees, headlined by former Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark.

What is interesting about Clark after having visited Kansas City, is that hisWikipedia page*now says that he is currently playing for the Chiefs.

With no news of a signing to be found, it is unknown when the information was updated or by whom.

If it does turn out to be true, Clark brings a championship caliber attitude to the Chiefs, having played his entire career as one of Peyton Manning’s primary go-to targets.

With Manning signing with the Denver Broncos this offseason,*it was speculated*that Clark may follow him to the Mile High City. With the Chiefs missing out in the Manning sweepstakes, how ironic would it be for Clark to suit up opposite his longtime mate twice a year?

Another question surrounding the team’s interest in Clark (having already signed Boss at tight as well) is whether or not they expect incumbent starter Tony Moeaki to be fully recovered from an ACL tear he suffered during the 2011 preseason.

Regardless, bringing in Boss and possibly Clark will guarantee a lot of double-tight end looks for the Chiefs this season, providing quarterback Matt Cassel with a lot of options.

...start Ricky Stanzi.

I'm not sure a Wikipedia edit even qualifies as a "rumor." That's just someone screwing around.

if true...

**** Dallas Clark, he's old and done. We signed Tim ****ing Biere, he's gonna be a stud if we keep him.

Whatever gets Jake Oconnel off the 53.

KCDC · 05-12-2012, 10:21 AM

Right. He's better than Jake O'Connell.

Having said that, I think he would be brought in to camp to help provide a bit of veteran leadership and, more importantly, help the defense plan against Manning. It is not uncommon for a team to sign someone briefly to just help them scout an opponent.

He'll add "competition" at the TE position and, unless he outplays one of the other top three, he'll get cut before the season. So, it is hard to view this as a negative. If he is "done" like TJ, he'll be cut in August.

3 broken TE's = 1 healthy TE. /Pioli

yeah, we were counting on Moeaki last year and had to play the whole damn year with Pope and Maneri. Painful....

**gblowfish** · 05-12-2012, 10:40 AM

This is surely meant as a tactic to confuse Dwayne Bowe. If there's a guy around named "Dallas Clark" he's going to think the guy owns the team.

O.city · 05-12-2012, 12:04 PM

I guess this means Clark didn't want to go to Denver? Obviously means Manning is hurt more than they are letting on. Atleast that's what it show me.

All the weapons in the world can't make Cassel look like a good QB.

Well, he was always ahead of some bum named Tamme on the depth chart all the time...

I think it's more likely Dallas Clark is done and Denver doesn't want him.
