Steve Breaston had "some offseason work done" on his right knee and has been limited in Chiefs training camp. It sounds like Breaston had surgery, which wouldn't be surprising considering the right knee has troubled him since the 2009 season. Breaston hasn't made much noise in Chiefs camp, and the team isn't even projecting him as a starter after signing Breaston to a five-year, $25 million head-scratcher in the offseason. He's not worth even a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Steve Breaston came off the bench behind Jerheme Urban in Friday's second preseason game. Coach Todd Haley says he sees Breaston as more of a split end than a slot receiver. And in Haley's offense, the split end often uses his speed to run clear out routes. In the Chiefs' run-heavy offense, both Breaston and Urban are unappealing fantasy options.

Chiefs agreed to terms with WR Steve Breaston on a five-year contract with $9 million guaranteed. The long-speculated move comes to fruition. We just can't help but think the Chiefs might live to regret this one. Breaston's right knee injury became so problematic down the stretch last season that he essentially lost his starting job to small-school rookie Andre Roberts. On the bright side, Breaston is a fairly young receiver (28) who when healthy can stretch the field and has familiarity with Todd Haley's offense. We suspect he'll end up playing more snaps than raw first-round rookie Jonathan Baldwin. It just won't be a good fantasy situation.

The Arizona Republic reports that the Cardinals have moved on from free agent Steve Breaston, and the Chiefs have emerged as the favorites to sign him. Breaston has been on Kansas City's radar all along because of his connections to ex-Cardinals WRs coach Todd Haley, and the Chiefs apparently don't have a problem with his troublesome right knee. In K.C., Breaston would figure to compete outside with first-round pick Jonathan Baldwin for playing time and also see some action in the slot. If the Chiefs sign Breaston, Baldwin probably wouldn't be a 60-snap per game player in his rookie season.

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora confirms the Chiefs are indeed interested in free agent WR Steve Breaston. Todd Haley was the wideouts coach and play-caller for Breaston in Arizona, so the move has been much speculated. The Chiefs are planning to open up the offense this year after running one of the most conservative offenses in the NFL last season.

Free agent WR Steve Breaston had reportedly drawn interest from six teams as of Tuesday morning. The Cardinals have already put a call into Breaston's agent, but they aren't expected to get into a bidding war to keep the slot receiver. The heavy early interest doesn't bode well for his chances of returning to Arizona.

The Kansas City Star's Kent Babb isn't expecting the Chiefs to make signing free agent WR Steve Breaston a "high priority." Chiefs HC Todd Haley is obviously familiar with Breaston from his time in Arizona, but Babb thinks he's too similar to Dexter McCluster for the Chiefs to make a meaningful run at him. Breaston will have to prove his troublesome right knee is healthy before anyone gives him serious consideration.

Appearing on XTRA 910 Arizona on Wednesday, free agent Steve Breaston conceded that "there were a lot of issues with my knee" during his time with the Cardinals. "But I know I will be ready for the season," he insisted. Breaston is speaking of the right knee that has troubled him since 2009, an injury that required constant draining and at least one surgery. The knee an issue that teams will have to examine thoroughly before considering signing Breaston for big bucks.

The Arizona Republic's Kent Somers expects the Cardinals to be "careful" about their offer to free agent Steve Breaston. "But they need to re-sign him," adds Somers, citing the inexperience of Early Doucet and Andre Roberts as well as Breaston's respect in the locker room. If the Cardinals do re-sign Breaston, trade for a QB, and rebuild the offensive line, there's plenty of fantasy potential in the desert this year.

Free agent Steve Breaston's return is "cloudy," according to the Cardinals official website. The Cardinals aren't going to overpay to keep an injury risk opposite Larry Fitzgerald, so Breaston's return depends on the strength of his market. It appeared that the coaching staff hard soured on Breaston when Andre Roberts was playing over him down the stretch last year.
