Which Safety Do You Want the Chiefs To Sign?

[New World Order]

Poll to follow

[Angry fan]

I've made my decision. Break the bank for Earl Thomas. Trade Eric Berry to reduce the cap hit if it will help.

Earl Thomas range is needed.

Earl Thomas range is needed.

There would be a lot of interest in EB’s reasonable contract and his unstoppable desire to be the field.

Hell no he doesn't even have big hitter or clutch trait.

Collins doesn't seem to want to be a Giant.

Some Chiefs fans couldn’t help but dream Wednesday about Giants safety Landon Collins joining their team.

Collins, 25, is a three-time Pro Bowler who will become an unrestricted free agent on March 13 and has played for new Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

It’s possible the Giants will put the franchise tag on Collins, but there was a bit of intrigue Wednesday on Twitter about his future. Actually, it was more about Collins’ locker, which became a focal point of conversation.

Seriously.


It began in the early afternoon when ESPN’s Josina Anderson tweeted: “I’m told that Giants S Landon Collins cleaned out his locker today at the team facility and said his goodbyes to teammates, coaches and trainers. It doesn’t seem like Collins expects to be a Giant for much longer, per sources.”




Chiefs fans were eager for their team to act:





Alas, reporters in New York said the locker wasn’t cleaned out:



So that settled it, right? Collins is staying with the Gia... well, maybe not.


Collins also went on Twitter and responded to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post with this message: “The stuff in that locker that I have left I do not need”


Did that mean he was not planning to return? Some Chiefs fans again were hopeful that Collins would be wearing red and gold next season:





No matter where Collins plays next season, the saga of his locker was strange, even by Twitter standards.

Overrated position.

Coming off an injury plus I doubt he takes a discount given his track record of being one of the best

Absolutely. We need more Sorenson and Murray to make the Super Bowl.

I sort of agree. Elite box safety with mediocre coverage skills won't really make or break us. Much rather go out and shell the money for an elite single high like Thomas, provided his boner for all things Dallas has died down a bit

I get that, that's why you trade him for a low pick. 5th-7th rounder. Other team assumes the cap hit(if possible).

It's a hard position to evaluate. The point of a free safety is not to ever be heard or mentioned during the play. In other words the Free safety successfully deterred the QB from throwing into his area.

The only time you want to hear a free safety's name is when he's making a play on the ball.

If a free safety is making a tackle on the run, that means your guys up front are not doing a good enough job. You don't want a free safety racking up tackles, that could mean bad run d up front or the free safety is always late to the passing play. But then you need to break down all those tackles to find out if the free safety has been playing mostly traditional free safety or moving around a lot like a Malcolm Jenkins does.

You really need all-22 access to evaluate the position.

One thing I know is that very few free safeties has the range of Earl Thomas.

I agree with this.

Just stating that safety is an overrated position is simplistic and shortsighted.

But if you separate the two positions, the importance of a good centerfielder cannot be understated.

[Tribal Warfare]

For me it's either Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix or Collins.

[T-post Tom]

Thomas. 2 or 3 yr deal.

Ron Parker isn't in the poll?
