Kid's working his ass off without a contract, that really is awesome. He'll be getting some of the best coaching in the entire league at his position, combine that with hard work, natural talent, and you have a future star in the making if he continues it.

Perfect storm brewing here!!!

Players usually don't even show up until they have a contract. Myabe his work ethic will rub off on Powe and we'll have two badass young NTs when the season starts.

I'm excited for the guy, but the lack of contract doesn't really make any difference. He'll get paid eventually, and he obviously knows that.

[Rasputin]

I don't have too high expectations for him this year but am excited that we get the opportunity to watch this kid blossom and hope in short few years he becomes the dominate DT we have been looking for.


Now for Dorsey & T Jack this is the year they better produce and no excuses for them.

Yeah but, how many other players have that attitude? Not many.

That's how I look at it too. Most guys coming into the NFL wouldn't do jack shit without a contract, even participate in OTA's.

He will get paid eventually. Unless of course he shreds his knee in a career ending injury. Hell, even season ending would cost him money.

Aren't they pretty much locked in to the basic parameters of the contract? I honestly don't know, but I thought that was one of the features of the new CBA.

I think the biggest variable is the amount guarenteed.

[ModSocks]

While it's great he's working hard w/o a contract, it could also simply mean the two sides are really close on the contract and are just ironing out the details.

[BigMeatballDave]

I really like him.

Give him a contract, Scott.

[Otter]

Looking forward to watching him play. If he fills NT for a couple years it's all worth it. That's the position on defense that makes all the difference but gets no glory in 3-4. The guys looks like he's hungry and has game but the tale will tell itself as it always does come showtime.

Certainly rooting for him.

I wonder how many rookies have been working at the OTAs without a signed deal? IMO Poe is a highly motivated individual because people questioned him as the 11th pick in the draft. He's out to prove those people wrong and to me Chiefs fans couldn't ask for a better scenario.
