Albert and Bowe

[ChiefRocka]

Now that ***** is out and the walrus is in...do we hang onto both Bowe and Albert? I think Andy above all understands what a healthy, true number 1 wideout and left tackle can do for your club.

At least we don't ever have to hear about this "right 53" "Patriot way" bullshit EVER AGAIN.

I bet they are both signed within 2 months.

They're probably right. I thought I remembered from early this season that the talk was until the season was over and some took that as immediately following our last game. New league year sounds more correct though. More uniform for everyone.

Good to see King is still getting insider info from Scott *****.

Today's Branden Albert rumor is that the Chiefs won't re-sign him in free agency

It seems like the NFL free agency rumors start earlier and earlier every year. This year is no different with most of the attention centered on Branden Albert, the key to the Kansas City Chiefs in both free agency and the 2013 NFL Draft.

In his latest 2013 NFL mock draft -- which has the Chiefs taking Luke Joeckel, by the way -- Russ Lande of National Football Post writes:

While the Chiefs have a desperate need for a quarterback, they have let it be known that they will not be re-signing left tackle Branden Albert due to rumored back issues.

Hmm. Well that's interesting. No one bothered to let this be known to me. If this were truly the BIG BREAKING NEWS it should be then I would guess it wouldn't be placed as a blurb in one NFP's mock drafts. In other words, we'll see. We have a long way to go.

NFP Mock Draft - Version 6.0

Russ Lande takes another crack at predicting the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

1. Kansas City Chiefs: Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M, Junior: While the Chiefs have a desperate need for a quarterback, they have let it be known that they will not be re-signing left tackle Branden Albert due to rumored back issues. So it makes a lot of sense for them to draft Joeckel who will be able to handle the left tackle job as a rookie and be their long term answer on the blindside.

Arizona Cardinals: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia, Senior: Although Coach Arians is publicly stating that they are going to work with Kevin Kolb; I believe it is a smoke screen and that the Cardinals will select Smith. A physically gifted quarterback with great football intelligence/instincts, Smith should be able to step in and start as a rookie which would greatly upgrade the Cardinals passing attack and make Larry Fitzgerald happy.

Makes sense.

Exactly.

It's one big crock of shit.

It's important to shore up that Left Tackle spot since Albert's leaving. You can fill a vacant QB spot anytime with just about anybody and win. You're not winning anything without a LT.

Don't actually know WHOSE blindside that would be but hey, we're set for 10 years!
