Shaun Rogers.
After Rogers was released by the Browns, he visited the Redskins, the Chiefs, and then finally the Saints.
I really thought the Chiefs would get Rogers because of his connection with our defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel. Rogers even tweeted afterward that he had had lunch with Crennel while he was visiting Kansas City.
But, nevertheless, the 31 year old 350 lb defensive tackle (he weighs more than 10 times his age) signed with the New Orleans Saints today. The deal was for one year and $4 million.
Before you get too mad that the Chiefs didn't reach a deal with Rogers, let's look at the price it cost New Orleans. $4 million for a player coming off the worst statistical season of his career. I was a fan of getting Rogers to KC, he would solved some issues with the nose tackle position, but $4 million is probably too much for Rogers (unless you've heard the rumors that KC offered Rogers more money and he didn't take it).
What now for the Chiefs? Tommie Harris and Kris Jenkins were both released this week, both could be free agent pick ups for the Chiefs; however, I seriously doubt the Chiefs would go for these players.
The Chiefs have yet to make a free agent splash before the CBA expires on Friday, don't expect it now and for these players.
