Undisclosed pick.

Kelcie McCray | Defensive Back

Team: Kansas City Chiefs
Age / DOB: (26) / 9/21/1988
Ht / Wt: 6'1' / 205
College: Arkansas State


Chiefs re-signed S Kelcie McCray.

McCray made 11 tackles last season as a core special teamer and backup safety. His best chance to see extended snaps will be if Husain Abdullah gets hurt. Mar 13 - 5:47 PM

3/13/2015: Signed a three-year, $1.435 million contract. The deal contains $75,000 guaranteed. 2015: $570,000, 2016: $585,000, 2017: $675,000, 2018: Free Agent


This is so stop gap based on this info.

Wow, wikipedia is fast
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelcie_McCray

Seems like the Chiefs target the same types of backup DBs. They turned Ron Parker into a star after he left here.

Is he so much more talented that seattle needed to use a draft pick? Seems like a journeyman. I don't get it.

So, is he good or what?
Can he ring some bells?

Pretty steep price for a backup, eh?

Ouch. So we're down a 5th and a 6th for next year's draft already.

Well, its put up or shut up time with Kam.

5th. Wow.

Better be amazing.

He's been a special teamer and played FS, this is not about Kam, this is to fill another role I think.

And both for players that likely will not contribute, or could very likely not be on the roster by the end of the season?

Seems like a steep price to pay

Sounds like Dion Bailey's injury is more serious than originally reported. Doesn't he have like a broken hand or something?

5th rounder? Seriously? Oh well, not the first time I've felt like we've been fleeced in a trade.

Thread is about the acquisition of McCray.
Please stay on topic.
thanks:{)

Yikes, 5th? Schneider always seems to overpay when trading.

Pete said he's been playing with it for a while. I don't think it's an issue.

A 5th for a safety on the end of the roster? When everybody else is trading 6 and 7 rounders today? I don't get it

Core special teamer? Is he a gunner? Could spell doom for Lockette. 2 birds with one stone.
