Football fans really aren’t that bright, and they certainly aren’t the least bit objective. If your team signs a guy, he’s headed for Canton, if another team signs him, he’s a bust, not worthy of cleats. Then you have a guy making allegations of drug use with absolutely no corroboration. These comment boards may be the worst thing that the internet has spawned. The comments on these boards range from idiotic to almost coherent.

offensive lineman with back problems great pickup cheifs. NOT next step for him is an addiction to pain killers.

I’m from the Baltimore area and I hate to break it to you (actually I don’t sinced I’m a Raiders fan) bu Gaither is a HUGE cokehead. A close friend owns a bar that he frequents and its no secret in this area. Good luck with that.

this guy is the Tin Man. If they did an EKG or an echocardiogram on his physical they would have seen his biggest problem. The guy has absolutely no heart. A ton of talent, but no heart, desire or drive to play the game. Good luck KC. This guy is a barking dog.

Love this signing!

==================================

Love this signing? This guy plays with absolutely zero heart. I’ll miss Mason, Gregg, McClain, Heap, and Landry. Good Ridance, Jared. You guys will soon learn what its like to have a player with no passion and zero heart. Oh, wait, didn’t you guys send us Elvis Grbac? Maybe you do know something about players with no heart!

Why the Buffalo Bills never made the move on this guy is amazing. Idiots!

the Raiders did a bait and switch on the contract terms. Told him after the physical he was only 93% and wanted to cut the contract 50%.

Gather has two problems. One physical-back and one mental-dedication to the team and game.

I’ll pass.

Must’ve been a tough call between Gaither and McKinnie………………….two of a kind!

They obviously didn’t ask McClain about him. Dumb as a rock and lazier than a union executive.

I wouldn’t touch anyone that needed to have a team representative either call or go to his home just to get him to show up on time….every day!

It’s a good signing for the Chiefs because he’s not needed as an immediate starter as he would have been in Oakland. If he doesn’t pan out, Chiefs still have their young developing starting tackles from last year that are at worst serviceable.

Not a bad signing by the Chiefs. He’s probably coming in on a 1yr deal near the minimum. He should be well motivated by that & can compete for the RT job.

If he performs, it’ll look great because the Chiefs saw something Oakland didn’t. He might like to take it to Oakland twice a year for a little pay back.
But if he’s unhealthy, it’ll be a poor decision that KC can live with because they’re so thin at O-Line right now.

When healthy.., this guy is a beast on the Offensive Line. Hopefully Gaither is past all his back problems and can continue playing at a high level. Great signing if he is.

I’ll say the same thing I said when he “signed” with Oakland. Back injuries are difficult to rehab and have a very high rate of becoming chronic. A complete and total roll of the dice.

IF Gaither is motivated and healthy, this is a terrific signing. But unfortunately, he hasnt been either in about two years. Ozzie Newsome is one of the best GM’s in football, he doesnt let guys with Gaither’s talent walk unless there is something seriously wrong. And in Gaither’s case it is. He’s lazy and doesnt have the heart of a football player. Its the problem that plagued him as a terp and ultimately got him kicked out of school. And it has plagued him as a Ravens and got him booted from the Ravens.

bargain deal. This is like going to costco.

This is the guy that the Raiders agreed to terms with, saw his physical, and immediately let him go. Since he’s probably still recovering from his back injury, he’ll be a backup for a while. Still, if he ever returns to form, this is a good signing.

@My Last Victim Escaped -

Nobody thinks signing Gaither is a good move. I’ll say the same thing now as I said when the Raiders were looking at him. If healthy and motivated, big if’s, it’s a good signing. Not only that he failed the Raiders physical, so I’ll even go so far as to say this was a bad signing. Happy now?

He should be pretty effective in the 4 games he plays this year.

Good luck in KC, Jared. Could have used you last year.

Waiting for ppl to say this was a good move for the Chiefs and they’re probably the same ones that will blast the Raiders if they signed him.

linebacker Kirk Morrison is the only Top 80 free agent still on the market

He’ll be in Philly by the end of the day. Possibly Tatupu too.
