Last season was a tough road, but as players went down others stepped up. Running back Jackie Battle had the most carries of his NFL career helping to step in for injured Jamaal Charles. Battle carried the ball 149 times for 597 yards and two touchdowns. Story

1. The most obvious. Peyton "freaking" Manning. What better way to turn a PR disaster around this off-season than to add a HOF quarterback (if healthy)? The Chiefs window of winning is open right now with Jamaal Charles, Brandon Flowers, Tamba Hali, Derrick Johnson and Eric Berry all entering their primes together. They are the Pro-Bowl caliber players that we have that are at the core of this team. Adding a player like Manning would bring so much excitement to Kansas City that any contract he'd sign would be justified by the attention a move like that would attract.
2. Carl Nicks. The two-time Pro Bowler could hit the open market if the New Orleans Saints slap the franchise tag on their signal caller, Drew Brees. Nicks will be a hit commodity because Pro Bowl caliber guards entering their prime would obviously attract plenty of attention. But if the Chiefs used free agency to grab Nicks and then took an offensive tackle with their first round pick, it could set their offensive line for years with Branden Albert, Jon Asamoah and Rodney Hudson.
3. Paul Soliai. The Miami Dolphins nose tackle would be a solid pickup for the Chiefs heading into next season. He's only 28 years old and his signing would show a commitment to locking up a vital position on the Chiefs defense. It'd be nice for Chiefs fans to see the front office not use a one-year stopgap at the position.
4. Shaun Rogers. Speaking of one-year stop-gaps. While Rogers may not be the player he used to be. He likes Romeo Crennel and he should hit the open market this year. He'd bring a Shaun Smith like nastiness to the defensive line and could help as part of the rotation, probably asking too much to be anymore than that next season.
5. Jermichael Finley. This is just thinking outside of the box at this point. But bringing in a player like Finley would give the Chiefs options with a hopefully, healthy Tony Moeaki in double tight end formations. It'd help with pass protection and Matt Cassel already loves to throw short routes. The double TE formation seems to be working for the New England Patriots. But their QB position is a little different with Tom Brady than the Chiefs is right now (see No. 1).

The O-line is important, so is the quarterback, but high on the list should be a run stuffer. Dick Vermeil couldn’t stop the run, neither could Herman Edwards, but it’s something Scott Pioli has to fix. Story

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure?
It’s worked for some; players have left and done well someplace else. Chief fans are confident Romeo Crennel can straighten things for Stanford Routt eliminating penalties. Story
