Chiefs are releasing RT Eric Winston, per league source.

Should the boys have any interest?

 

[MichaelWinicki]

He's an above average tackle.


Worth a look.

 

[Paniolo22]

We should be interested in any upgrade on the oline

 

[Little Jr]

Yes. Texans shouldn't have traded him in the 1st place. He would be better thanwhat we have at rt. He is a texas guy also. He had a show on radio when he was with the texans and seemed to be a good guy.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Um, yes, very interested. He would solidify the RT spot without breaking the bank, and we can then focus on the interior in the draft. Sign me up.

 

[TheCowboy]

He's a good guy and a good tackle. Much better than Free.

On a side note, what the heck are the Chiefs doing? You're telling me they couldn't get some value for Winston? Heck, I would have been fine with the Cowboys giving them a fourth or fifth for Winston.

Yeah. That's my question. Why are the Chiefs releasing a good OL?

Chiefs likely draft Joeckel move Albert over. Yes the Cowboys should have an interest. Lets see Winston or Free? Not a tough call.

 

[TheRomoSexual]

I mean, I would think they know they are taking Fisher or Joeckel first overall, so with Albert tagged Winston became expendable. But regardless, they could received some value for him.

Extremely interested......good tough guy with a mean streak. Extremely interested!!!!!!!

 

[RS12]

Free should be sweating bee bees right now.

 

[Bowdown27]

I'd love to get Winston but i doubt it. Seems we will draft an oline men

 

[supercowboy8]

Albert is younger than Winston, so they will try and re-sign Albert and draft Jockel or Fisher

Also yes we should be very interested but depends on the money.
Alittle scary as to why he has been released the last two years by two teams.

 

[Flinger]

Heard him interviewed one morning on Sirrus NFL radio... Very articulate, intelligent guy. Should be broadcasting somewhere when his football career is over.

Would love to have this guy if his performance is where it needs to be.

 

[StanleySpadowski]

Winston didn't play very well in KC. Just because people have heard of him doesn't make him above average. That's how we end up with terrible OL in the pro bowl like Saturday and Pouncey.

Dallas' decision comes down to money. Either they keep Free or go cheaper with Parnell. One of those two will be starting at RT.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

Yea, this is likely a prelude to drafting Joeckel. Don't know how he played last year, but........he's got to be better than Free.......right?

 

[JoeyBoy718]

Winston and Free are both 29 too. That would also give the Boys time to develop Parnell if they still want to. I'm all for it. Get err done. That'll make the draft much easier. Get Cooper or Warmack if they're still around at #18. If not, get Vaccaro or the best DLman.

Eric Winston allowed just three sacks in 2012. Every other RT with 3 or less sacks allowed played fewer pass block snaps than Winston.

Don't know where that came from. He played well in a new system. He was really goo rt in houton running their zone blocking scheme
