When the Chiefs signed CB Darrelle Revis, I thought WTF, why didn't the Packers sign him? At least work him out? We have such a weak secondary with all these injuries why not bring him in?

At worst, he could have been someone to teach the younger CB's some good stuff.

What other CB's are available that could be signed?

For the few million different in salary I would have taken him over bringing House back.

I know there are things in different schemes where not all CB can just go from one team to another and expect the same results. Not sure if there is something in hoe Revis plays that wouldn't fit within Dom's scheme or with the other players around him. but I would not have been against his addition this year. I never expected this to be a Super Bowl year for the team, it was always a development year for the young secondary of the team and Revis might have been good to help them learn.

I think there is a larger perspective here, where earlier this offseason Revis was saying he's going to retire if the Jets release him, and then he said he's going to retire if his hometown Steelers don't sign him.

So I think it's unfair to compare him with others such as House, because House always said he wanted to play, where Revis was saying he was done playing.


Then when Revis started talking about coming back, he was talking about coming back for the 2018 season and he had a workout where most teams had scouts... and I guess the Chiefs said, you look good, why wait until 2018, finish the season with us this year, especially since we're going to the playoffs (as it looked like the Chiefs were when they signed him, and the Packers didn't look like they would be).

So, yeah they missed an potential opportunity, but I don't think it's fair to compare Revis situation with others FAs, because Revis seemed like he wanted to sit out the year. But yes knowing he wanted back, and knowing King is gonna be hurt for the rest of the year, and House might be gone next year, we should of been looking into Revis (and probably did)... we just weren't the first one to offer him a contract.

Then again, when a player starts talking about retiring, Thompson is probably never going to be one of the first to run out and sign them. But do we know Revis would sign with a team that didn't look like it was going to the playoffs?

When Revis signed, we were aware (fans that is 'we') and thats when I was thinking, WTF, IR Kevin King and sign Revis. I didn't even know he was still available.

Nolan Carroll is the only other healthy one that I know about.

But there is also Vontae Davis, who is coming off groin surgery (5 weeks ago), which has been reported to take 6 to 8 weeks to fully heal. But in theory could be ready for the playoffs. Though Davis might be interesting for next year too, and rumored there are teams tracking how he's doing and possibly going to sign him when he's healthy enough to pass a physical.

Davis seemed to be released for saying he's injured and going to get groin surgery for said injury when the Colts were claiming that he's fully healthy (just like they claimed Andrew Luck was going to be fully healthy). But I mean, players don't have surgery just for fun, and I assume especially not in the groin area... so I'm assuming Vontae Davis is correct and that he was injured.

But the Colts (led by their owner) have seemed to be more concerned with trying to sell that their team is doing well and healthy, than being realistic, which is why I've thought the Colts HC might be the mystery head coach that's rumored that wants to move on... away from his drug addict unrealistic owner. Of course he's not successful, like the tweet claimed but still. (You know, if the guy tweeting wasn't talking about the Cards and Saints HC rumors which were already out there well before his tweet).


Other Positions
WR Jared Abbrederis... I missed when the Lions released him.

TE Gary Barnidge... after the team release Bennett, I was surprised they didn't bring in Barnidge, Barnidge is a very good blocking TE that normally doesn't do much in the passing game but some how was able to put up a 1,000 yard receiving year with the Browns while his TE coach was Brian Angelichio, who's currently the Packers TE coach.
