Comparing a CB and a S? Hardly. Just the fact that Colclough wears #30, Brown's numeral afore KC & that if one has been paying attention to the Chiefs, they have signed more than one player off season this wore particular numeral and soon followed said by releasing the player 'had' said, afore the more recent signee who wore said arrived. Exit Ricardo stage left ... enters relic Mike. :-) Actually, the signing of Mike “Wheezy” Brown is not good news for Ricardo Colclough – as if the latter needed another hurdle to make the team.

Wasn't it Fernando Bryant that the Pats signed last year to be a veteran presence at CB? He started all through training camp and the preseason, but then they unexpectedly, before the opener, cut him as he wasn't living up to expectations. That wasn't a bad signing as he didn't get a huge contract. They brought him in to see what he had and decided to go in another direction. If Mike Brown doesn't have anything left in the tank, he'll be cut, and we're no more worse for wear. I was skeptical about this signing this morning, but all in all, a low risk, high reward situation. It's obvious that the Chiefs are trying to be competitive in the short term, as well as the long term and that's a welcome change of pace! Solid points Mark.

Brown is a big upgrade at 3rd Safety, where we played McGraw last year because Herm wouldn't put Morgan on the field. Maybe Morgan ultimately is another stiff from Herm's A+ 2008 draft. At worst, Brown is done and is a camp cut. NE was never shy about cutting vets they signed in the offseason. At best, a huge upgrade at backup safety, and plays the Greg Wesley role of backing up both safety positions, and plays in short yardage situations replacing the poor tackling Page. We really missed Wesley last year. I'm not particularly a fan of signing old guys like this, but at least they're being signed to short term, low risk contracts, unlike Carl who would sign a guy like Brown to a 6 year, 20 million contract with at least 6 guaranteed, and proclaim him a key signing.

Remember, Clancy played alot of 3-3-5 defense in Arizona (more than Wisenhunt's liking). I wouldn't be surprised to see them in 3-3-5 on 3rd and long situations...and this move will allow the chiefs to put the 'best 5' dbs out there. Could also help in obvious running situations because Page is a liability. Without a doubt, a healthy Mike Brown makes our defense better. Great move for competition and depth.

Who knows? Maybe he stays healthy and makes a nice impact this year. I agree with some of you above; this move would seem to signal that Pollard could be used closer to the line of scrimmage. Not necessarily as a LB, but maybe like the "rover" position that some college teams utilize. It could free up Pollard to do what he does best; flow to the ball and hit someone in the mouth....or knee:) It could also mean that they are looking to push Page out of the starting lineup as well. Page has been a respectable ball hawk, but his tackling is shaky at best. Also, they may be in the mind to make some sort of a trade and Page or Morgan could be the bait. Time will tell.....

The roster is out of balance. OL needs help,still. TE full of unknown promise. WR age, unproven, or old (not to mention questionable hands on the "star"). 08 DL linemen moving to LB. Now we have extra S, they cannot all play on special teams. Almost for got who is the Kick Returner and deep snapper?? I support Pioli/Haley but just do not get it. Sorry, just do not get it.

He is a game changer when available. Will see if he even makes it through training camp. Not too old at 31, but has a lot of mileage. Doesn't hurt to sign him to see what is in the tank. I think they are looking for pieces to move around and play with. Never know what this team will look like in the end. Brown is kind of like Bob Sanders from the Colts.

I really like our corners from top to bottom, and adding Brown can only help push along the safeties we have. Can't say I'm a real big fan of Pollard taking a full time move over to LB, but if they move him around from time to time to keep the O guessing, I'd be okay with that. I just haven't seen enough success in the NFL with players moving from safety to lb to get my hopes up.
