Chiefs trade Tyler Thigpen to the Dolphins

The Chiefs have traded quarterback Tyler Thigpen to the Miami Dolphins, for an undisclosed draft pick.
Thigpen was Kansas City’s third quarterback in the team’s 34-14 loss at Philadelphia this past Sunday, and he has taken only two snaps this season. Thigpen started the majority of the Chiefs’ games last season after Brodie Croyle and Damon Huard suffered season-ending injuries.

His mobility and improvisation made him a tough quarterback to plan for, and he led the Chiefs to a victory against Oakland.

The Dolphins reportedly lost quarterback Chad Pennington to a season-ending shoulder injury.
Chad Henne had been mentioned as Pennington’s replacement, but Thigpen has far more experience as an NFL quarterback than the 24-year-old Henne, a second-round pick in last year’s NFL draft.

For a 6th or 7th reportedly.

Great move by Miami for what they gave up. I was impressed by Tyler is that crappy KC offense last year. I actually am higher on Tyler than Henney.

regardless a good backup. I think he'll eventually start.

I wonder if we just gave them their pick back we got from them for 2 Olinemen?

He is an upgrade. :(

Kinda fishy with the two teams having relations. Parcells is related to Piola.

Chiefs fans are strange. They hated Tyler even tho he was far better than Croyle?

[billsTOfan]

Well, how about Edwards?

You're on crack.

Jp is available. i wonder why no one knocked on his door? word on the street is that he has a canon for an arm. :-)

That truly would have made this week better if Miami got saddled with the JP experiment.

I thought Thigpen got a raw deal in KC and thought he showed some serious promise on a team without much around him. At least he might get a shot now, even if it's with the dirty fish.

Looked very good last year at times and bad at other times. Good trade for the Fish. I put up my scouting report on him in the NFL Zone in that thread. For those that are curious.

[Nighthawk]

I was impressed with Thigpen last year and think he has a chance to be good. Parcells knows talent, so that should be all that needs to be said.

You're on crack.Why am I on crack? And, if you can answer questions I ask directly to others, why can you not answer questions when I ask them directly to you?
