Denver Turned Down Trade Sending Paymah to KC for S Wesley

Posted Thu Mar 6th by

Turns out the Chiefs and the Broncos have been trade talk partners over the last two seasons when it comes to Greg Wesley. Wesley feels obsolete in Kansas City and wants a piece of the free agent pie. Wesley states his 7 year starting position “was given away without competition when the Chiefs made regulars of Jarrad Page and Bernard Pollard”.

“He asked out last year, and the Chiefs almost had a deal in place with Denver for a fourth-round draft pick. The Chiefs, not wanting to send him to an AFC West rival, backed out right before the trade was made.”

Come this off season-

“The Chiefs recently tried to rekindle trade talks by offering Wesley to the Broncos for cornerback Karl Paymah. Denver refused.”

I’m willing to bet that Denver didn’t want Paymah playing for a division rival, much like the Chiefs wouldn’t like Wesley playing here. But their last minute retraction previously with the Broncos is creating problems trying to deal the safety this off season.

Wesley’s Agent Drew Pittman: “It’s going to be almost impossible for the Chiefs to trade Greg now. The Chiefs gave me permission to find a trade for Greg, and I’ve talked to all of the other teams. There’s no interest. Part of the reason is that the Chiefs had a trade worked out last year and backed out of it.”

You can get the fully story here at kansascity.com I would bet that signing McCree as a free agent is the more likely situation for the Broncos right now. If we don’t land McCree, maybe Wesley can be had for cheap on the market even though he thinks he is worthy of big money?

    No problem Dan, I’ve been trying to scrape out the more hidden stories to help Kyle keep content consistent. It’s hard this time of year to get material.

    Nice story, you wrote it well and all, although I totally disagree about getting Wesley. I want no part of that KC has been.

    i hope you get the spot and can help kyle and everyone out. sometimes they only post like once a day and i dont know what to do with my life….. :)

    I have to agree az. I would rather see us land McCree, but if he can be added for depth at a cheap price and compete Hamza it camp I don’t see it being a bad thing.

    Your exact sentiments are reason I applied to join the staff. I check the site probably between 5-10 times a day when I have downtime at work and wanted to see more content throughout the day. I had been e-mailing Kyle link here and there to help, then I saw the help wanted and thought why not?

    I’m not opposed to picking up any reasonablely priced players to add to our position competitions during the off-season; however, I would not want to trade KC for Wesley. I just can’t stand giving a division rival ANYTHING. If we can pick him up after KC drops him… bonus for us.

    Just remember, the guy will be 30 years old this season. That’s not terribly old (considering we’re starting Lynch), but it most certainly doesn’t add youth to the backfield.

    P.S. Good job Josh! Glad you’re helping out! :)
