25 Free Agents from Kansas City Chiefs

The official list sits at 25. It’s a number that represents approximately 47% of Kansas City’s 53-man roster. Some of the 25 are starters and one received a Pro Bowl invite.

It'd be in Kansas Citys best interest to resign atleast 4players. Chiefs had a terrific season with their young players, bouncing back from 4-12 to 10-6 and getting their first playoff game since 2007. 

Chiefs need to keep their team young, and work for the future. They've got a great staff on their hands key coaches being Todd Haley(Head Coach), and Romeo Crenell (Defensive Coordinator).

Charlie Weis, former offensive coordinator sign with Gators was confirmed January 3rd, 2011. Bill Muir is rumored to be his replacememt.

Bill Muir is currently the offenvise line for the Chiefs and their is no current canidates for his replacement according to the franchize. 

He's got the offensive line in-tact this season. Jamaal Charles rushed for over 6.4 per carry, he attempted 230 times and was just 23 yards away from 1,500. 

Sure he's a great running back, he's phenomenal and just what this team needs.Though you'd need to have a leaping racing horse for a running back if you can do that without an offensive line.

You can have the best running back, and Jamaal Charles is [dang] good but the job can't get done without a [heck] of an offensive line, which the Chiefs have"- Said Mike Bell in a previous phone interview we had.

So that might be the best adjustment for them, he's got the O-Line getting it done for Charles but then again it could be the worst thing.

Chiefs have established a running game, Jamaal Charles averages 6.4 per carry, which means it's more than likely that on first down Chiefs can hand it off to Charles and have 4 or less yards to go for the first on second down. 

When you have that kind of a down it opens up the play action. The run is successful which forces the defense to call a run blitz. The play-action is a great way to do a pass and trick the defense.

If you're lined up in a shotgun defense will audible into pass coverage, but on 2nd and short if you're in I-Formation they're expecting another run, then Matt Cassel fakes the handoff to Charles, Charles blocks for him and get a short pass over the middle to Tight End Tony Moeiki.

The last thing you need is a conceded run game. Jamaal Charles nearing 1500 yards in 230 attempts if phenomenal. With a offensive line primarily trained for runs, will Muir be more tempted to run.

When defensive watches tapes, they see they need to account for one of two threats; passing and running. Chiefs have established both, making them nearly unstoppable to defensives that aren't overall.

However with new offensive coordinating will those attempts increase 30% to nearly 300 attempts. Theoretically it wouldn't make a difference, he'd average 6.4 a carry right? Well if you run the ball 18.75 times per game, the defense might guess right a little more.

What if we let them have 2 chances to get Heads/Tails on the opening coin toss? Would that benefit Chiefs?  That's a confident move just like the worry for Muir.

 Of the free agents from the chiefs are offensive linemen, 2 of which being starters. Probowler Brian Waters contract doesn't end for a while.

The odds are high that chiefs will re-sign most of their players, but if one of those 2 starting lineman go to another team, will that change everything?

It'd be perfect if Weis stayed to prepare for these changes but who knows what’s going to happen next season. Confusion waste timeouts, and causes turnovers. Then again; change can be good, as long as it’s not a presidential slogan. 

Mike Vrabel, and Tamba Hali are 2 amazing defensive players that I'd bet any amount of money chiefs reassign atleast one, if not both. Though if they don't do things change on defense too? Will the Chiefs run blitz fall apart?

If the run blitz falls apart, turnovers will be less likely. Brandon Flowers had an AMAZING season, a star Cornerback, who kept up with great wide receivers.

Brandon Carr, the other starting Corner Back for the chiefs is also going to waivers if he isn't reassigned. Such a bad time for contracts to end--after making a playoff appearance.

 Last year Chiefs were in a similar roster scare, and only lost 5 players though none of them were key players or ideal threats for them: G Andy Alleman, S Mike Brown, TE Sean Ryan, OL Wade Smith and WR Bobby Wade.
