KC signs Gaither
 

Per 810

Wow. Never thought that would happen in KC. Chief's are desperate.

In other news, Chiefs place Jared Gaither on injured reserve for the 2011 season.

:O

Giddyup.

If he stays healthy, he's a huge upgrade.

The Ravensfication of the Chiefs continues.....

Awesome

Wow. Didn't see that coming. So.....Tackle has been upgraded...

Wasn't the Faid trying to bring him in?

Oft injured, bad work ethic. What's not to love.

The dude has a ton of talent. Let's hope he stays healthy.

Didn't pass a physical with Oakland two weeks ago....Wonder what that was all about.

Right tackle. Richardson scared them.

Pioli just pissed in so many faces.

keep em coming .. help needed on both sides in linemen ....

Truefans erect!

LMAO


I wonder how CP is gonna spin this signing.

Heh. Seems like a pats kinda move. Great talent, and if he falters, cut ties with him.

"Several of the other free agents at this position — Max Starks, Bryant McKinnie, Jared Gaither — are either injured or out of shape..."

So which is he?

Like this.

This.

This is a HUGE signing. I'm sure it wasn't a huge contract...and if he can get healthy...he'll fill either tackle position.

Injured

How is this not a low risk/high reward signing?

This.

It's a no-risk, high reward signing.

Best tackle on the roster if healthy.

This is a great signing. Lights a fire under Richardsons ass, and if Gaithersburg doesn't pan out, it's no big deal. Milkman should be happy. Was very concerned about Richardsons motivation.

This signing is whatever CP says it is..... And that could be anything from starting him at LT now to moving him to defense and sticking him at NT.

You never know what you're going to get when you log in here.

Richardson must have scared the shit out of them....


dude couldn't pass a physical for the Raiders....dicey, but what the hell...maybe he can spend a month getting in shape and give us something mid season....

Albert and Gaither are great bookend tackles.....if healthy.

"Entertained" is usually a safe bet. Unless it's 3 am.

I don't think the intent is to replace Richardson, unless Gaither just flat out beasts<br />

Not sure if it was Richardson that scared the shit out of them or the lack of depth behind Richardson and Albert. I doubt Gaither starts the season.

Who's that guy that's always begging for us to take a LT with our #1 pick? He's creamed his panties twice this morning.

Guys, we are going to the Super Bowl.

My teams are either going to or winning the championship the last two years. Make it three.

SUPER BOWL

Sac

in before everyone screams move Albert to RT

Why? Did we just draft a LT @ #1?


Signing a LT that someone else developed is NOT DEVELOPING OUR OWN! We must develop our own or it doesn't count.


There. I helped start his response to you.

lol. no shit. surprised that hasn't been mentioned yet.

move him to LG and cut lilja! LMAO

You got me. LMAO

Too late. Soren Petro is in full reerun mode. I like the guy, but sometimes he's an idiot.

Gaither will start at LT, Albert to RT...

Not that I expect this to work out as well, but...

Didn't Lilja fail his physical last year with Indy?

Obviously we see something other teams didn't. We know the kid is talented when healthy. Dude's only 25 and has barely played.

If we can get him healthy and his head screwed on right, we'll have ourselves a damn good RT.

Well, this is the first of about 5 of these kinds of moves we should've made to this point, but I'm damn glad to see we've made it.

We have plenty of roster room at the moment, why not take the shotgun approach, hurl a bunch of talented youngish vets at the problem, and see who sticks? The law of averages suggests 1 or 2 of them will.

Honestly, I'd almost rather see him start the season on the PUP though. Let Richardson slog through the easier early part of the schedule and then have Gaither rested and ready to kick some ass by shortly after the bye.

ROFL

Dane just Facebooked me and said to tell everyone this guy is the next Kendrell Bell.

it's def a low risk/high reward move...i like it


but i'm keeping my expectations low

Kendrell Bell was penciled in as a starter, with contract to match

this guy is a street FA backup costing us a $.05

tell Dane he's a dumbass

With the signing of Gaither (6-9), #Chiefs have to have three of the tallest players in the NFL. Pope and Mims both 6-8.

We're building a basketball team!

LMAO Are you serious?

You actually believe Billay? :facepalm:

ROFL

It was a joke. Dane didn't FB Billay.

Nice pick up if we can get him healthy! Why not take a chance on him? At least we weren't the ones that used a draft pick to get him and there is NFL film available to assess his abilities. Good move Pioli!!

Already in http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/5034/x27aa7fe5.jpg

Damn....that was quick.

Any word on the contract? Another 1 year deal?

it's not surprising our offensive line and qb's haven't been very good lately. good thing that isn't important in this league.

I really like the effort being made to address our needs between draft and FA. I can't remember the last time such an effort was made. I was kinda getting used to one FA signing per year.

more causes that Cassel should have zero excuses about not succeeding this season.

i believe dane is that wierd

I believe you're ****ing reeruned.

like the willingness to make this move...about the only concern I have left is DE and backup QB

thanks, white knight

LMAO


You are such a bastard.

I think he missed all of last season with a back injury, and like a lot of big guys came back from the lockout overweight; around 400lbs. I think he has to lose weight before he can even practice for health reasons.

I wonder what the deal is with Max Starks? I saw big ben thought enough of him to wear his jersey during practice as a tribute to him after he left.

Our recent signings and lineup has given us lots to "crow" about. Are we now Baltimore-West? If two of these signings work favorably, then that's cool.

Actually, Ben was just using an extra available jersey. He gave his away at the titty bar the night before to a girl who was bleeding from the nose after she "fell down".

He's also looking for a new wallet since he gave his to her to "stop the bleeding".

Nice to actually be signing guys from good teams instead of shit teams like Cleveland.

Link?


As far as I know, only McKinnie came in weighing that much.

I am really surprised. Shocked really.

I was sure that Richardson's fragile ego wouldn't be able to handle a RT controversy and that's why we hadn't brought in any experienced back ups.




Opps, wrong thread.

What happened to the NE, AZ, Miami only, connections?

Sure, why not. CP was all over trading for him last year.

They're still there. Those are the good teams. Oh, and miami. Now we've added Balt.

Don't worry.... Grandpa Bill will have him toughened up in no time....

My guess, knowing his past, it's some of both

he's using his whistle because he got an erection.

It could happen. Maybe not right away, but it's well within the realm of the possible. I'd slow down on the 'reerun' takes until things clear up. Gaither is only 25 and has shown the ability to be a dominant player. That said, a back injury for a 6'9", 340 lb player is a big red flag. Petro might be wrong, but it's too early to make that call.

Ya, if it was real he would've said "Dane just facebooked me from Cameron Crowe's account..."
