Chiefs Contact Daunte Culpepper and Connor Barth
All I can say is “Thank You”. It can be argued that this may not be the right move, but at this point I don’t hear any better options out there. I say give Culpepper a shot, he should have a good 3-4 years left in him.
- The Chiefs talked with Culpepper on Monday, a day after they lost Brodie Croyle for the season because of torn knee ligaments. Croyle was injured in the Chiefs’ 34-10 loss to Tennessee at Arrowhead Stadium.
A decision on whether the Chiefs would sign Culpepper did not appear imminent. A deal might not come until next week if one is reached at all. [KC Star]
The Chiefs are also looking at former Bucs QB Bruce Gradkowski. In my opinion this would a very short term deal, where if they signed Culpepper it could be for a few years.
- In the meantime, the Chiefs were preparing to bring former Tampa Bay quarterback Bruce Gradkowski to Kansas City today for a workout. Gradkowski played for St. Louis in a preseason game against the Chiefs in August at Arrowhead Stadium.[KC Star]
Now this is the part where I say “I told you so”.
- The Chiefs may sign rookie Connor Barth today to replace Novak. Barth was originally signed by the Chiefs in April and battled Novak throughout the offseason, training camp and the preseason.
Both players made two of three field-goal attempts in the preseason. The Chiefs went with Novak mainly because of his previous NFL experience.[KC Star]
Anyone that has read this site or knows me, knows that I thought the Chiefs should have went with Connor Barth from the beginning. I don’t know if he will work out any better than Novak, but one wouldn’t think it could get too much worse, right? BTW I heard Novak has the lowest field goal percentage int the NFL.
Welcome back Connor! We thought you might be back and let’s see what Culpepper can do. If nothing else we can still draft a QB to sit under him for a little bit.
