Per Adam Shefter's twitter:
From Washington to KC: Steelers free-agent RB Willie Parker is scheduled to visit the Chiefs on Thursday,[/quote]

Could be.

Alternatively, he could be taking pains to change the rep of the Redskins from "the place where you get paid" to "the place where you play hard."

That's a bit surprising. I thought we were pretty much a lock

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

^ Thats all well and good changing our rep but I hope we are offering what the other 31 teams are offering. not insulting players... I feel like a Jags fan!

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

^^I got to agree with you on that. I read somewhere that with all the skins past cuts we signed/didn't sign someone like Foote, Dansby, Gandy, Lilja, Parker, Clifton, Jammal Williams, Darren Sharper?

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

By the way, the running back who I mentioned the other day will be cut soon but I couldn't figure out who it is...it looks like it's going to be Laurence Maroney. A guy I've mentioned in the past. Not sure, but I know the Pats are shopping him. They'll probably find a taker but if they don't find one by draft day, he's likely gone.

Chiefs just signed Thomas Jones, so Parker might be turning right back around to Ashburn

Now him I would sign for the right price.

I like the alternative better.

Re: Mega-Merge: 2010 Free Agency Rumors and Reports Thread
 

I'm not sure whether we just don't want some of these guys much or whether we're just not willing to pay them. I mean no ARE contracts where you pay someone like they're a superstar, but what's the big deal with giving a guy just enough to stick around?

I know Allen said that we'd be hosting some guys but it doesn't mean that we'll offer them a contract, which happens, but what's the point in hosting so many and apparently not locking anyone up?

Parker's visit to the Chiefs not surprisingly has been cancelled
