Chiefs re-sign Chambers - WichitaChiefsFan - 03-08-2010 11:17 PM
Kind of expensive IMO but we needed him and I think he liked being in KC so its a win for both sides.
Chiefs re-signed WR Chris Chambers to a three-year, $15 million contract, including $5.9 million guaranteed.
Chambers looked done in San Diego before the Chiefs claimed him off waivers prior to Week 8 last season. He became an immediate starter in K.C., averaging four catches for 68 yards per game with four TDs in nine appearances.
While he was clearly a better fit for Todd Haley's offense than Norv Turner's, Chambers' re-signing shouldn't prevent the Chiefs from exploring wideouts early in April's draft. He turns 32 before the season.

Agree - Expensive, but we need him...
Now to build on this with the draft - and perhaps another FA or team cut.
This is the year for Bowe to show his stuff -- Either he can demonstrate that he is a top-tier WR, or I am all for seeing what we can get for him in trade value. He has all of the athletic talent and there is nothing wrong with his vision; his problem is with discipline and concentration - and the latter likely is due to the fact that he is not the brightest light-bulb in the pack...

he probably has 2 good years left in his tank so this might be worth it though. Glad to see we re-signed him
according to NFL network they are saying its 3 years for 12M not 15M

I think this was a good signing - he's a productive player and this provides a bridge for us to develop younger WRs. We could get a good WR in the 2nd or 3rd round, and having Chambers would give the new guy time to develop.
I like Andre Roberts out of Citadel - runs great routes, has reliable hands, decent speed, solid work ethic. Kind of player Todd Haley dreams about. Projected as a mid-to-low second-round pick, and would be a good value at #50.

And if Bowe actually figures out how to catch the ball this season we could have something the Chiefs haven't had in a long time, two pretty good WR's in the game at the same time.
