The Chiefs had some competition for cornerback Dunta Robinson, as the division rivals Broncos actually had the last crack at him.

According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Robinson actually visited the Chiefs Thursday and the Broncos Friday, before deciding to head back to KC’s three-year deal.

The 30-year-old Robinson isn’t the same kind of cover player he used to be, but having Champ Bailey on the other side gives the Broncos a little leeway as they look for an upgrade.

With a deep group of free agent corners augmented by a crop of guys getting released, the Broncos will have plenty to choose from.

But unlike last year, when they talked Peyton Manning into coming to the mountains, their recruiting pitch isn’t foolproof.
