Source: Toomer to join Chiefs

[Big Bid'Ness]

From:ESPN.com

Amani Toomer has signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source.

Toomer, who had played all 13 of his seasons with the New York Giants, has 668 career receptions for 9,497 yards and 54 touchdowns.

Last season, Toomer caught 48 passes for 580 yards and four touchdowns.

Way to pick a good team to end your career with Amani.

Edit nvm its not even worth it.

Toomer should give new Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel another quality target and provide leadership to a group of young receivers who don't have much experience.

Plus it's a one year deal. We're not going for the Super Bowl this year, we're building the foundation and we are bringing in veterans like Toomer who are the players we want our young players to turn in too.

I wish Amani would have finished his career in NY, and make it easier for Eli to transition into life w/o Plax, but this is a solid pickup for the Chiefs. He can still make plays.

 

[The Young One]

I hope with this signing we can release darling or jeff webb. I dont expect much but veteran leadership out of amani. Anything else would be good.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Yeah Bobby Engram is gonna be the vocal leader veteran on the WR core. Engram and Toomer both have that worth ethic though

btw- i heard that jeff webb is all but gone now

 

[The Young One]

About time he's worthless.

Did you read about LJ in the star? He's gonna beast this year.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Yeah. I want to believe it, but it's LJ, he could go out and do something stupid in the next couple of weeks. But I'm happy to see him saying stuff like that.

I wish Toomer would have stayed out of football and retired a New York Giant! Seeing Amani playing in a Chiefs uniform will be strange and to make things worse the Giants face the Chiefs this year!

 

[MapleLeaf]

It wouldn't be as awkward as watching Tony G wearing a Falcons uni

I cant even imagine how awkard thats gonna be. Hopefully we do good so he can regret leaving.

Yea he shouldve retired a Giant. He already got his ring and made a big impact in NY, but I guess he wants to move on and help another team somehow. I cant wait to face the Chiefs this year and see him, lol.

 

[MapleLeaf]

LLLLLLLLOL, kind of off-topic, but the Chiefs just signed another former New England QB to be 3rd string

Yeah I guess but watch him burn us for 137 yards and 2 TD's, it all be good as long as the Giants win the game!
