Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports Kansas City Chiefs OL Will Shields has been informed he will be released.

Not shocking news, but he is the stalwart of that line. Huge loss for KC.

[Florida_Bronco]

I'm guessing he'll be resigned there very shortly.

[DBroncos4life]

he says he wants to play two more years. I would love for someone to get that Husker out of there though!!!!

[Mediator12]

I'm guessing he'll be resigned there very shortly.

Probably not. Chiefs have one of the worst Cap Situations unless a new deal is reached tonight.

[azbroncfan]

I see AZ in his future. Denny Green said the cards were going to go mostly OL in free agents.

[ksBRONCOfan]

I'm having fun with this cut. I'm surrounded by Chief fans, so I'm going up to them and saying "wouldn't it be funny if Shields came to Denver and then won the Superbowl. Just like Niel Smith did."

They don't think its very funny. There a bit upset by the cut.

[DomCasual]

I loved yesterday on ChefsPlanet, when we were making our cuts, how they were all chortling over our cap stupidity. Dumbasses apparently aren't smart enough to foresee it happening to them a day later.

CHIEFS TERMINATE CONTRACTS OF BARBER, McCLEON, STILLS AND WARFIELD
Mar 02, 2006, 2:55:53 PM



Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Thursday that the club had terminated the contracts of LB Shawn Barber, CB Dexter McCleon, LB Gary Stills and CB Eric Warfield.



Barber (6-2, 240) played in 27 games (24 starts) for the Chiefs since joining the club as an unrestricted free agent from Philadelphia in 2003. He recorded 183 tackles (132 solo), two interceptions (28 yards), 6.0 sacks (-35.0 yards), seven QB pressures, three fumble recoveries and 10 passes defensed. The eight-year NFL veteran has appeared in 92 career games (74 starts) with the Redskins, Eagles and Chiefs, producing 583 tackles (407 solo), 10.0 sacks (-62.0 yards), seven interceptions, (189 yards) with two TDs, 20 QB pressures, five fumble recoveries, eight forced fumbles and 31 passes defensed. Barber has also started five postseason contests, registering 36 tackles (27 solo) and one forced fumble.

McCleon (5-10, 195) saw duty in 11 games (five starts) for Kansas City in 2005, producing 24 tackles (21 solo), two INTs and four passes defensed. After originally joining the Chiefs as a free agent in 2003, he played in 40 games (27 starts), registering 132 tackles (107 solo), 23 passes defensed, 10 interceptions (20 yards) and three fumble recoveries. The Meridian, Mississippi native has played in 131 games (84 starts) during his nine-year NFL career with the Rams and Chiefs, posting 391 tackles (315 solo), 4.5 sacks (44.5 yards), 90 passes defensed, 30 interceptions (160 yards), six fumble recoveries, one forced fumble and one QB pressure. He has also started eight playoff contests, recording 37 tackles (30 solo), two interceptions and eight passes defensed.

Stills (6-2, 250) ranked second on the team with 25 special teams tackles to go with a fumble recovery on special teams in 2005. The seven-year NFL veteran has played in 88 career games (one start), totaling 80 tackles (41 solo), 7.5 sacks (-62.5 yards), four fumble recoveries, 19 QB pressures and three passes defensed. He produced a club-record 148 career special teams tackles, in addition to four fumble recoveries and three forced fumbles. The Trenton, New Jersey native played in one playoff game in 2003, recording two tackles and two special teams tackles. Stills earned an invitation to the Pro Bowl as a special teams performer following the 2003 season when he led the team with 29 special teams tackles.

Warfield (6-0, 200) played in 11 games with 10 starts at right cornerback for the Chiefs in 2005, producing 63 tackles (54 solo), including two behind the line, an interception for a 57-yard TD, seven passes defensed and two fumble recoveries. He joined Kansas City as the first of the club’s two selections in the seventh round (216th overall) of the ‘98 NFL Draft. The Vicksburg, Mississippi native saw duty in 115 games (77 starts) during his eight-year stay with Kansas City, tallying 393 tackles (317 solo), 63 passes defensed, a sack (-13.0 yards), 20 interceptions (236 yards) with three TDs, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, one QB pressure and 31 special teams tackles. He also started one playoff game, recording five tackles and two passes defensed.

[Rascal]

And I continue to see mocks with the chiefs selecting something other then secondary positions.

[ozomulsion]

I loved yesterday on ChefsPlanet, when we were making our cuts, how they were all chortling over our cap stupidity. Dumbasses apparently aren't smart enough to foresee it happening to them a day later.

Well, looks like everything is status quo over at the Planet.

[OrangeShadow]

if he did in factend up being off the team we should just sign pryce for those 2 games seeing the only time he showed up was when shields wasnt in

[eddie mac]

Chiefs are still $11.9m over the cap after the above releases. Woods, Wesley and Shields should be next out the door. That would leave their secondary 4 players short.

Shields is already out.

[Gcver2ver3]

Shields is already out.



as is shawn barber....dexter mcleon & a few more

[WABronco]

Wow, that sucks, heh...

They're gonna need a few new corners, a new safety and guard...

[eddie mac]

Shields is already out.

Not confirmed yet bro. Original report said he will be released not has been released.

[Meck77]

The Chiefs haven't had anything to worry about on defense for years. Why should they start to care now....*snicker*

[Crushaholic]

Actually, this is bad news. This forces the Chiefs to rebuild their secondary. It was better when they were perfectly happy with Warfield and McCleon in the backfield...

[KipCorrington25]

Goonther will fix all these holes with "schemes."

[ant1999e]

These moves might have something to do with the new head coach.

[Kaylore]

Yeah Shields is back for sure. Keep dreaming that he's not, though. He already said that he'd be back twelve times. Roaf too.

Or something to that effect. I asked for a link and they tap danced around. Now if I can just convince Roaf to retire, things will be looking great for us. :devil: I'd love to see my favorite Chief player, Jordan Black, starting again.:chefstink

[crazyhorse]

It was better when they were perfectly happy with Warfield and McCleon in the backfield...

Uh....when was that?

[crazyhorse]

I loved yesterday on ChefsPlanet, when we were making our cuts, how they were all chortling over our cap stupidity. Dumbasses apparently aren't smart enough to foresee it happening to them a day later.

Are you saying you enjoyed the stupidity of two teams?

Or Am I just enjoying your stupidity?

[Elway777]

Shield would look nice in Denver,Maybe he could be signed to a reasonable contract to play for a chance at superbowl.

[Rock Chalk]

Well, Tebucky Jones, Sam Madinson and Lawyer Milloy are all free agents so if they want to shore up their secondary, they certainly have some options.

[Rock Chalk]

Are you saying you enjoyed the stupidity of two teams?

Or Am I just enjoying your stupidity?
I think, oh moronic one, that he means pretty much everyone except Chicago are gonna be in a bad spot due to the lack of a deal being made.

You will see many teams struglling to get under. Mostly teams that spend a lot andutilize the cap. Teams were planning their futures on a new CBA contract being agreed on and weren't expecting no deal to be made.

Its not like the Chiefs and Broncos and a host of other teams are stupid for using the cap to their advantage. Really, who knew Upshaw and Tagliabue would find a way to **** it up for everyone, the fans most of all.

Uh....yeah.

That's exactly what he said.

[crazyhorse]

Unless you cut Plummer, you have little chance at a Superbowl.

BTW, I see this type of ignorant post often here. If so many players would be willing to play for Denver for cheap just to win a Superbowl, then why the hell were they so far over the cap?

Donko fans....I love you retards.

[Kaylore]

Unless you cut Plummer, you have little chance at a Superbowl.
I've asked this before and I'll ask it again.

If Plummer is holding us back and is as horrible as you suggest; If we've made the playoffs every year he's been here, went 13-3 last year and made it to the AFC championship game knocking the Patriots off in the process; If he is the reason that we haven't made it all the way, doesn't that suggest that we have greatest team in the history of the NFL and with Plummer removed we would have gone undefeated and won SB 40 55-3? I mean if him holding us back is us going 13-3, Trent Dilfer would take us to the big dance right?

Moron.

[crazyhorse]

I dont credit Plummer for your success. Pretty simple really.

I mean, even Planny cut his balls off this season. The story on him all year was he was a better QB because he wasn't his usual blundering self. The reason for that was due to Plannys fear of him, and recognition that he is not a QB that can lead a team anywhere.

For you to suggest Plummer as the single reason for the success the Broncos enjoyed this year is desperate. I give you more credibility to know what you're talking about. However, when you take me on, you resemble a left handed pass on the 3 yard line, if you will.

I will conceed that Plummer had flashes of good play, but who doesn't. Plummer staying out of his own way is a credit to Shanny, not to Plummer.

Moron indeed.

But then you clowns thought Trevor Pryce was the best end in the game. So there you go.

[crazyhorse]

doesn't that suggest that we have greatest team in the history of the NFL and with Plummer removed we would have gone undefeated and won SB 40 55-3?

55-3Hilarious!

Who do you think you are.....the 49ers? ROFL!

[Rock Chalk]

55-3Hilarious!

You just cant be that stupid.

Its gotta be a ruse.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

This is interesting. According to what I've heard he won't be cut.

[crazyhorse]

You just cant be that stupid.

Its gotta be a ruse.

What do you mean.

55-3 is a 49ers/Broncos Superbowl kinda beat down.

Are you new?


Donko fans....I love you retards.

[Kaylore]

For you to suggest Plummer as the single reason for the success the Broncos enjoyed this year is desperate..
The only one who's asserted that one player is the keystone to our success/failure is you. I would never argue that Plummer is THE reason we lost 13 games, or THE reason we won them, but he is one of many. I put your assertion into perspective and exposed it for what it was: the ridiculous bantering of moronic Chiefs troll.

Bad Quarterbacks - even average ones - don't have 33-15 records with three consecutive post season appearances in three seasons.

Try again.

I disagree. You took a statement and completely overreacted. Whoda thunkit? I never said Plummer was horrible. As you suggested. I never said he was the reason you went to the playoffs either, as you suggested. Finally, I never suggested the team would have gone undefeated without him.

These are all transparent examples of someone who is "spinnig" out of control.

No need for you to put words in my mouth, friend. I have no difficulty communicating. You have difficulty coping.

Thanks for playing.

why are you thanking him for beating you?

[Kaylore]

Thanks for playing.
No prob. Making you back track was quite enjoyable.:-*

[crazyhorse]

For you to know what you're talking about, dont you 1st have to know what I'm talking about?

His post is laced with inuendo that was not offered from me. Making him somewhat desperate. Or stupid. We all know he's not stupid.

Please, let him defend himself.

[crazyhorse]

Can you give me an example of back tracking.

I still say Plummer sucks

You will NEVER win a Superbowl with Plummer.

I stand behind it. Now......tell me I'm wrong.

yes your post was full of facts

[crazyhorse]

yes your post was full of facts

Is this one of those "I know you are but what am I" retorts?

You're going to need backup.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

FTR Shields was on Sirius Radio today and said he wasn't cut.

[eddie mac]

Are you saying you enjoyed the stupidity of two teams?

Or Am I just enjoying your stupidity?

How's it stupidity exactly??? I call it 2 teams doing whatever they can every year to win it all within the constraints of a salary cap. No-one knew for sure whether the CBA would be extended or not and we still dont. Would you rather your team was the Cardinals and was $20 million under the cap every year with a tight-wad owner???

Furthermore it doesn't bother me one bit about the 3 guys who were released yesterday because they were all going to have diminished roles this season which would've been nowhere near their cap levels. If you even take a look at the Chiefs casualty list I'm sure you feel pretty similar. If Shields sticks around there's not 1 player on that list worth worrying about.

[eddie mac]

I'd take Plummer over Green any day of the week. If he had Roaf/Shields/Gonzalez he'd be a regular Pro-Bowler.

He used the term stupidity. Ask him.

I was just making fun of it.

[eddie mac]

Hahahaha that's hilarious.

Bob you know it's true, in denial again.Ha!

[crazyhorse]

Where'd Kaylore go?

I'm still waiting for him to tell me Plummer will take you to the dance and win it.

I guess he's back tracking.Hilarious!


Donko fans....I love you retards.

Then Ill tell you. Plummer WILL get us to the dance and give us a win. Not only him tho. It will pend on the D continuing to play well and the running game. As usual all 3 phases of the game are huge. Plummer by himself wont win it, but as a team we will. Plummer will be at the helm tho.

[Bob's your Information Minister]

Bob you know it's true, in denial again.Ha!

It's absolutely not true. We've seen what kind of a performance Plummer puts up when he has to compensate for a horrible defense.

[watermock]

It was the media that was making lame excuses while Plummer led us to the AFC championship game. He seethed with the idea that he was on a leash...

Tell me this genius...you don't think Big Ben "managed" games, or Dilfer didn't "manage" games to a SB win?

Denver lost because we let Pitt convert 21 of 26 3rd downs, many 7 yards or more. This is so amusing because Pitt actually has a defense as well. The whole team had an off day against a team that brought it's A game.

Did you enjoy sitting at home with a losing record watching the window slam shut on your nursing home? STFU. The crier left, Sanders left and you have even more holes than last year. Oh, and BTW, your still over the cap while we are under it.

I stand corrected.

That's all you got Bob, our D plays 1 bad game whilst yours plays 16 a season.

[crazyhorse]

Well.....that, and the 50 turnovers by Plummer.

[ludo21]

Uh....yeah.


I stand corrected.


you said we will NEVER WIN A SB WITH PLUMMER.

how do u stand corrected???

[watermock]

That's all you got Bob, our D plays 1 bad game whilst yours plays 16 a season.

Actually two....Miami and Pitt, but it sure was better than KC and the Chimps. Noone here said Jake had a good game, but Pitt has a defense and a surprising QB in Ben. We got our lunch handed to us, but the whole team laid an egg. You might remember that Pitt was 15-1 in 2004 and much of the media had us in the basement and Oakland winning the division...so when they are making all kinds of excuses while Jake was headed for Hawaii....well take that under advisement why they made a bunch of deflection of their ignorance.

[DBroncos4life]

you said we will NEVER WIN A SB WITH PLUMMER.

how do u stand corrected???
It doesn't matter. If we do win the SB with Plummer as our QB they will just say it wasn't because of him.

[Kaylore]

Where'd Kaylore go?

You're such a dork, Crazy. I stepped away to make myself some dinner.

To answer your question yes, I think Jake Plummer can help take us to and win us a Super Bowl. He's had more post season success than Green and that's with a weaker line, poorer running backs, and poorer tight ends.

[crazyhorse]

you said we will NEVER WIN A SB WITH PLUMMER.

how do u stand corrected???

It was sarcasm.

[ludo21]

It was sarcasm.


hard to catch that on the net......

we need a sarcasm text. TJ ;)

And less points scored.

And a better defense.

BTW, eating this late will make you fat.

I said Plummer will not take you. You say you THINK he might take you. Your conviction is underwhelming
