One young safety, either Jarrad Page or Bernard Pollard, was promoted to the Chiefs’ starting lineup Wednesday.

The other could get moved up soon.

The Chiefs opened up one starting safety position with the release of veteran Sammy Knight. The 31-year-old Knight was signed as a free agent two years ago and started every game since at strong safety.

The other incumbent safety, Greg Wesley, remains with the Chiefs but they may try to trade him before the draft next month.

That’s how enamored the Chiefs are with Page and Pollard. They were drafted last year, Pollard in the second round and Page in the seventh, and the Chiefs believe each is capable of becoming a starter.

Page started two games last season. He intercepted a late fourth-quarter pass in the end zone to preserve a win over Oakland in November and made two more end-zone picks against the Raiders a month later.

He also had an interception in the playoff game.

Pollard didn’t play as much as Page on defense but he was the Chiefs’ best special-teams player. He blocked two punts and recovered one for a touchdown. He lost credit for a third block when it bounced beyond the line of scrimmage.

The Chiefs also released offensive tackle Kyle Turley. Turley started seven games in his only season with the Chiefs.

Turley had missed the previous two NFL seasons because of an ailing back and had problems staying healthy for the Chiefs.

He became expendable when the Chiefs signed Damion McIntosh to be their new left tackle.

Turley as a back-up OT??

He certainly brings some attitude and agressiveness to the table, which our OL need.

No thanks, never liked that dude. And with his injury history, why bother?

 

[Shogun]

He's a shell of his former self. Pass.

I think he has injury issues .. if hes healthy then maybe .. thats a big maybe ...

But we have absolutely no depth at tackle besides Gorin and Ross .. and Ross doesn't count .... I still don't see how Grimm will be able to get anything out of Ross .. its like trying to make an apple out of an orange ...

 

[Assface]

Reports are that he's going to retire.

 

[TheCardFan]

He is still better than Oliver Ross...

I was about to say.

Maybe we can get him for a hot bag of peanuts and $40. It might be worth it then.
