Man I would love to see him in red and gold again.

[SoCalChiefsFan]

I'd love to see him as a coach, but not as a player. His time is past him.

[sekchiefsfan]

He is a better blocking FB than anyone on our roster...Even at his age. I would love to see him in red next Monday.

PASS!

Exactly...This guys leadership in the locker room alone would be worth signing him. Plus, he's a legend in KC. One that never should have left in the first place. Thanks a lot, Carl...you f**king Nazi.

Huh?



He's still one of the best blocking fullbacks in the game today.

I don't lament the loss of many players, nor do I care if any ever find their way back.

T-Rich is the exception.

He's the one guy that really believe should never have been let go, and he's the one guy that I believe still has more than enough left to bring him back.

As much as I'd like to see T-Rich back in red and gold, I think I'm out. We have to look past this year. Do I think Castille or Cox is a better FB? HELL NO, but T-Rich is not going to get us to the SB. But I'll echo SEs thought as well. Thanks Carl, you idiot. May you burn on a pile of used Raiders jockstraps for eternity.

Thinking beyond this season is exactly why you do bring in a guy like T Rich. No fullback (by the modern definition, so Larry Csonka doesn't count) gets their team to the Super Bowl. The overwhelming majority of them are expendable. KC is lucky to have two decent, albeit not transcendent, FBs. If one of them were to be cut, (1) it wouldn't be the end of the world, and (2) they'd probably still be a free agent in a year, meaning they could be resigned at any time. With that in mind, why keep both young guys when you can keep one of them and also bring in a guy that can mentor Charles and Battle? (Remember that LJ had a two year arrest-free period there while he was actually listening to Tony. Oh, and Adrian Peterson turned out okay too.)

Hells yeah cut Cox or Castille and get Tony on this team yesterday!

Oh I agree in not letting him go in the first place, I just think at 15 years in the league he's not what he used to be. I just don't see him being the fullback he once was. I'm not saying Cox or Castille are any better by any means, just dont think adding T-Rich is much of answer at all to that position. Would rather draft one next year.

[The_Jonas]

People are actually against this?

Why?

I'm sorry, but to win we're gonna have to run and Tony doing the hitting and intimidating while our deep and versatile backfield wears guys out can go a long way to helping our offense put up points.

Plus, it's beneficial to whichever FB stays on the roster. Both are young and still learning. Even if it's one season, it's worth it.

[jambal67]

I'm not saying Castille and Cox are better, I just question what he has left. If I felt he had 2 or more years left, I'd be 100% behind it, but for a year, I just don't know. Another question would be, does he want to come back or has he decided to hang them up?

[ChiefsChick23]

If T-Rich is available, we should go sign the man, bring him home, show these kids what a blocking FB looks like, then let him retire in style amongst a fan base that loves him to pieces, and hire him for the office as soon as he's done.

[BrooklynChiefsFan]

Jets cut him mainly as a money thing. Chances are he will be back with the team after week 1. We can hope that his feelings are hurt though and he'd rather end his career alongside Thomas Jones and where he started in KC. The timing is right, but he'll probably chase the ring with the Jets even if it means swallowing some pride.

[Zig]

huh they must have cut him to make room for Revis because he wasn't on the original cuts I saw. Scheff is saying they might re-sign him

all this talk about the Jets and mark my words- they'll be around 8-8. TJ, Coles, T-Rich...all leaders on that team and all gone. Greene is a good back but still young and LT? lmao. Solid D but don't buy the hype!

[SoCalChiefsFan]

From what I've been reading it sounds like he might re-sign with the Jets.

[War Party]

Could always be brought in as a mentor to the young guys. Obviously the other side of that is he could possibly take some developing players spot on the roster. So it would be a coin toss of whether or not it would be a good idea.

I'll bet you predicted them to win the division with a rookie QB last season didn't you?

Wonder if they will get that Hard Knocks curse.
