Chiefs trade for LB Reggie Ragland

Chiefs have acquired LB Reggie Ragland from the Bills in a trade.

I'm kind of surprised.

Sean McDermott says Buffalo Bills LB Reggie Ragland fighting for roster spot

Quote:

At the beginning of the offseason, there was talk that Ragland could compete with Preston Brown for the starting spot at middle linebacker. Now Ragland is just trying to keep a spot on the 53-man roster.

Quote:

Ragland's work came mostly on special teams against the Ravens. He lost his rookie season to a torn ACL and hasn't quite made it back to where he was before the injury.

"Sometimes my knee feels good, sometimes it's sore," Ragland said last week. "I just know I have to keep getting better. I know I'm young and I still have time, so I'm not pressed about some of the things, but I know I still have to keep getting better. Coach McDermott, and all of the coaches tell me this all of the time, so I'm just going to keep getting better."

Ragland's knee isn't going to get back to 100 percent overnight, so it's easy to wonder what he can even do to win over the coaches before the roster is cut down to 53 players next week.

A 4th seems kinda high

2019 pick?

Seems like a long ways away.

One goes out. One comes in.

The thread title was written by an American-born person of Japanese descent who was translating an article written in Japanese by a native of Yokohama who read it on the Chiefs website.

In 2019? Nah.

I'm a bit wary of trading picks for someone who wasn't about to make the Bills' roster.

In other news- Chiefs place Reggie Lagland on PUP for a sore knee.

He was a good fit in Ryan's 3-4. He wasn't working out in the 4-3.
