Chiefs coverage and the NFL http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs needed a corner after the first round and at the top of round two they got one in Brandon Flowers who is a physical player who could be a great fit in the Cover 2 defense they run. The Packers were up next and may have liked to get him. The Chiefs are doing amazingly well today, big time winners http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have moved up from #17 to the Lions #15 to get guard / tackle Branden Albert who many had them taking at #5. I'll say it right now, they have won the draft with Albert and Glenn Dorsey. They certainly have the picks to move around and likely are not done making trades yet. This won't cost much and was smart as someone else could have come up for Albert who shouldn't have lasted this long. A good move for the Lions to gain a pick and only move back two spots http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Glenn Dorsey goes to Kansas City #5 overall... while I love the pick and he is a great value here, if the Chiefs were really offered the Saints #1 this year and their 2nd this year as well as their number 1 next year they should have taken the offer! They would miss out on the d'line in round one, but could have gotten a tackle and corner and would have added another #2 this year. Now look for a corner at #17. Dorsey will be a huge addition to the middle of the Chiefs defense and despite what we said this was a great pick http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Ok here is our final 2008 NFL Mock Draft. Glad we got the first pick right and guaranteed not to get all 32 thanks to the Patriots, but never came close anyway http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Vikings are aggressively trying to improve this off season. At least that is how you have to presume all the money they are spending. Add their newest addition... former Chiefs DE Jared Allen who they have acquired for a 1st round and two 3rd round picks this year. The teams also swapped 6th round picks so the Vikings move up there. As if that wasn't a big enough price to pay the Vikings then signed Allen to a 6 year $74 million monster deal with $31 million guaranteed. Holy #@!% !!! That is a ton of money for a player one strike away from a year long suspension... ok that is a lot of money for any player, over a $12 million average! Will have to wait until all the numbers are released to see how much funny money is in there, but $31 million guaranteed represents over $5 million a year. The deal makes him one of the highest paid players in the league and the Vikings hope playing on the turf makes him even faster improving on his excellent sack numbers which led the league last year with 15.5. The Chiefs now are loaded for the draft. It gives them 13 overall picks and 6 in the first 82 meaning they can move up if they want as 13 is a lot of draft picks to bring to camp, but get younger they will. With the two first rounders they should get a player to take Allen's place and help on the offensive line http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net So it's time to release our first 2008 NFL Mock Draft - another will come Friday before the draft. There is lots of intrigue and different scenarios and some trades will factor in of course, but we'll take a look where things are at now. See our 2008 NFL Mock Draft http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net With the draft approaching the Chiefs have decided to shop franchise DE Jared Allen, and there is interest. The Vikings and Bucs are the most interested but the Jaguars could be as well. It's not known what the Chiefs will demand in return, but it will include a first rounder this year and likely a third as well, or better next year. Allen had 15.5 sacks last year and is one of the top ends in the league, but also one strike away from a one year suspension so there is risk in trading away a couple of high picks and of course the huge long term deal he wants for someone that close to being gone. Not that that will stop someone from trading for him. The move would give the Chiefs more options as they could take Vernon Gholston to replace him at #5 and get a tackle with the first round pick they get in return, or get a lineman at #5 - Jake Long if a miracle happened or more likely Branden Albert or Ryan Clady and then target one of the ends or corners later in the first. The extra picks would certainly give them more options for rebuilding the team http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Broncos are making some moves ahead of the draft to shore up a need after Brandon Marshall's injury. They have signed former Chiefs WR Samie Parker and former Seahawk and 49ers WR Darrell Jackson to a one year deals and released WR Derrick Hamilton and tight end Chad Upshaw. They also sign a camp leg in punter Danny Baugher. Jackson's addition could be big if he can regain old form. He spent a miserable year in San Francisco last year where he just didn't seem to fit, get open, or care that much. His production did go up at the end of the year as the team played more of a West Coast type of offense so there is hope he will come back to life in Denver http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Eagles have signed former Chiefs backup TE Kris Wilson to a 3 year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Vikings have signed former Chiefs backup CB Benny Sapp to a one year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have lots of needs on their offensive line and to try and fill one are meeting with former Panthers center Justin Hartwig who was released earlier this off season by the Panthers were he had been a starter http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Dolphins have signed former Chiefs kicker Dave Rayner to a one year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net QB Trent Green has agreed to return to the St. Louis Rams after being released earlier this off season. It is a 3 year $8.9 million deal with $4 million coming in the first year. That is a lot of coin to pay a backup QB with just a couple of health issues. He is re-uniting with Al Saunders who was the offensive coordinator while he was in Kansas City and now has the same role in St. Louis http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Jets are becoming a free agency team despite what the front office says about building through the draft. They have added former Vikings and Chiefs FB Tony Richardson to help open holes with a offensive line getting new additions too. Thomas Jones should be a little happier this year, now will it show on the field http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed former Falcons LB Demorrio Williams to a 5 year deal and claimed FB Oliver Hoyte from Dallas http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Free agency always make some scratch their head at the over priced deals and players who get picked on the previous get hyped up. For the moment we pick former Cowboys corner Jacques Reeves who is far too popular on the first day of free agency with the Bucs, Saints, Rams, Chiefs and Texans all in hot pursuit of someone who will play with a target on his back. Funny the Saints are in it, didn't they have the same thing happen last year with Jason David. If he goes to Tampa or Kansas City he may ft better in their Tampa 2 defense which won't make him run and cover deep as much http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed punter Dustin Colquitt to a new 5 year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have released 35 year old WR Eddie Kennison, who while never making a name for himself (other than quitting other Broncos) led the Chiefs in receptions for a number of years. Age and injuries caught up with him last year and the Chiefs need to start fresh, Dwayne Bowe will help with that http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Finally a big win for the Atlanta Falcons. It was only a coin toss but they get the #3 pick in the draft this year, followed by the Oakland Raiders at #4 and the Kansas City Chiefs at #5 http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs to no surprise have placed the franchise tag on DE Jared Allen guaranteeing him a one year deal worth $8.879 million while they try to work out a long term deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have cut starting OG John Welbourn starting an off season that figures to see a high player turnover. There are certainly more veterans to be cut the most obvious is LB Kendrell Bell, but the biggest name may be Ty Law. If Law does get the ax, what are the odds the Patriots may look to bring him back. He isn't the player he once was but he fits the system well and they do well finding the right mix of youth and aged veterans. Bell was the defensive rookie of the year with the Steelers and looked like he was going to be a star before getting injured in his second year and never really returned to his previous form http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Ah yes tax time is near and the pain of seeing how much money we fork over to cause deep pain in our stomachs. Then of course there is all the good that comes from it, such as members of congress spending the day listening to the he said she said of Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee (don't forget Andy Pettitte too) and now a new wonderful word "Nannygate", ugh what has this world come to? Add to that Arlen Specter grilling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell over the spygate issue, threatening congressional hearings and the league's antitrust exemption. Do these blowhard's not have anything better to do with their days??? Do we not have any serious issues to be tackled in this great country that we have time to bicker and seek headlines with this crap? Hey guys call me when you fix the economy, health care, homelessness in this rich country and a list longer than.... then we can get around to which retired baseball players did what. Other than Barry Bonds the rest of this is ridiculous and makes me not want to pay attention to the sports we all love so much. This country has become addicted to soap opera's and reality crap where everyone wants their 15 minutes. It's not like this is all brand new, the Steelers of the 70s admittedly used steroids and they certainly were not alone but no one is calling to take back their Super Bowl wins. Lester Hayes is probably my favorite corner of all time, but he reported used something to help him get a better grip. Can we all just move on and focus on trying to fix things rather than going over the top about the past. Either way Roger was dominant, the Patriots were superior and as much as it pains us Bonds was a Hall of Famer before they all crossed the line http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have hire Chan Gailey to be their new offensive coordinator. Gailey was fired as the head coach at Georgia Tech and wanted to return to the NFL where he had been a coordinator for the Steelers and Dolphins as well as the Cowboys head coach from 98-99. His last stop was Miami where the offense didn't fare too well, but he has a good offensive mind and will fit in with Herm Edwards running a run first offense http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The ax has fallen again in Miami, head coach Cam Cameron and nearly his whole staff have been fired. The only ones kept are assistant special teams coach Steve Hoffman and linebackers coach George Edwards. Cameron was a hot candidate last year after being the offensive coordinator in San Diego, but didn't find success with the Dolphins who flirted with another kind of record while the Patriots were going after the perfect season, the Dolphins near to the exact opposite. Something had to give and that means Cameron is gone after just one year. He will be a sought after coordinator very quickly, teams like the Chiefs and 49ers may have already called. For the Dolphins this allows Bill Parcells, er Jeff Ireland to select a coach they feel can lead them back and there is a long list of coaches that have worked with Bill that will get attention http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have fired 4 offensive coaches: coordinator Mike Solari, wide receivers coach Charlie Joiner, line coach John Matsko and running backs coach James Saxon according to the KC Star. Changes were known to be coming after a horrid season for the Chiefs. Solari is a good line coach but was not cut out to be a coordinator. He was chosen after Al Saunders left for big bucks in Washington to keep the same offense. Injuries, age and poor QB play led to disaster this year leading to a busy off season http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Each year some teams struggle with the decision to pay a running back big money. A couple years ago it was the Seahawks Shaun Alexander who got the big deal and has done nothing since. This the Chiefs Larry Johnson held out for a big contract to have a horrible year. Meanwhile the Packers lack of a running game was a huge concern this year, and out of nowhere comes Ryan Grant who was with the Giants during training camp and he now has a 5 yard per carry average. Some thought they should have kept Ahman Green even at age 30, but he has logged only 70 carries this year for the Texans and 260 yards for a huge 3.7 yard average, and wasn't that a concern last year how the last two years in Green bay his average was down. The Broncos have shown it for years that you can get by without a huge contract to a back, though they did pay a bit this year for Travis Henry, and Selvin Young is out-performing him. It is hard to let them go or not pay them, but it can be hard on the future if you do too often as well http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The NFL suffered a tragedy with the loss of Redskins safety Sean Taylor who was shot in his home during a suspected buglary, he was 24 years old. We extend our sympathy to Sean's family, friends and teammates http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Chiefs RB Larry Johnson again was unable to get rolling but QB Damon Huard took over and got the job done making sure they didn't fall to 0-3 on the year. The Chiefs beat the Vikings 13-10 with a nice 16 yards TD to rookie WR Dwyane Bowe in the 4th quarter. Kelly Holcomb got the start for the Vikings but he and the receivers couldn't do enough despite rookie Adrian Peteron's 102 yards rushing and 48 receiving http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Will someone please answer why team still kick to Devin Hester? Punt and Kick the ball out of bounds... much safer. Bears QB Rex Grossman wasn't so good but Hester kept the Bears alive against a struggling Chiefs team with a punt return for a TD and another long return later. Cedric Benson got 101 yards on 24 carries as Larry Johnson had another quiet day. It will be a long long year for the Chiefs http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed WR Bobby Sippio from their practice squad to the active roster http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The first play for the Chiefs offense WR Eddie Kennison hurt his hamstring and that was a bad way to start and it didn't get any better. Larry Johnson had just 43 yards and a long run of 8 yards, yippee. Damn Huard looked like he was keeping the seat warm for Brodie Croyle. He did complete 2/3rd of his passes but for just 168 yards and 2 INTs http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed former Lions return specialist Eddie Drummond to a one year deal. Drummond will replace Dante Hall who was sent to the Rams in an off season trade http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Damon Huard was impressive in starting last year for the injured Trent Green, but this year the team was pulling for Brodie Croyle. Huard in the end won the fight and will be the team's starter to open the season after a tough and close battle through camp and three preseason games http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net So Chiefs RB Larry Johnson is back with the team but may not be ready for the first game according to him or at least 100%. Way to keep yourself in shape and ready to go, definitely worth the money http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Here is a great article by Fox Sports' John Czarnecki about how the NFL rookie are being paid way too much. "It doesn't make sense that LaRon Landry is the highest paid safety in the game," Cowboys executive Stephen Jones told me. "And that Joe Thomas (Cleveland's top pick) has a better deal than Tom Brady. For example, Chiefs running back Larry Johnson signed yesterday for less guaranteed money than what Johnson and Thomas collected, and only a moron would say those rookies deserve more than one of the NFL's best running backs... we're right there with you John, good work http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Miami Dolphins have finally named Trent Green the starter at QB http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net More on Larry Johnson who is working with the team Tuesday morning. According to Jay Glazer it is a 6 year $45 million extension. ESPN is reporting it as $45 million but as a 5 year extension in addition to the year he still had on his deal. They state $19 million is guaranteed http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs and Larry Johnson have finally agreed on a new contract. According to the NFL Network it is a six year deal http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net So the Chiefs get their top pick signed and then lose their top free agent addition... OLT Damion McIntosh went down with a sprained knee Tuesday and the team fears he tore his ACL which would end his season. The Chiefs line was a concern before and now they may need to look to trade for some help. Will Svitek replaced him on Tuesday and Kyle Turley could be an option but he couldn't cut it last year. He isn't the player he was before with the Rams and is more a right tackle anyway. A left tackle will be very hard to find, one name to watch is Kwame Harris of the 49ers. He is their starting right tackle but has played on the left side before. A strong run blocker, but a liability in pass protection, the 49ers would be open to a trade after taking Joe Staley in the first round of the draft http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs finally inked first round pick WR Dwayne Bowe to a 5 year deal with almost $7 million guaranteed. Bowe's holdout was much longer than it should have been and there were plenty of rumors as to why. We are not buying them, but regardless Bowe is now in camp and looking to help the offense still lacking Larry Johnson http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Chiefs RB Priest Holmes will report to training camp on time rather than stage a holdout while demanding a new contract. Holmes wants to be paid like LT, which isn't likely, but do expect something to be done to improve his contract http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Former Seahawks CB Kelly Herndon is making the rounds visiting with Detroit, Kansas City and Tennessee and Jacksonville according to the Detroit Free Press http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed former 49ers safety Chad Williams to a two year contract. Williams is a solid in the box reserve safety who has a good feel for blitzing but will never challenge for a starting role http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The long dance is finally over as the Kansas City Chiefs have traded QB Trent Green to the Miami Dolphins for a 5th round pick that can become a 4th round pick if certain levels are met. The teams were stubbornly not able to make a deal for so long it became an annoying story to follow. The Chiefs wanted a 4th rounder and the Dolphins only wanted to give a 6th. What seemed to be an obvious compromise of a 5th took forever. Of course the Chiefs feel they got something extra with the possibility of it becoming a 4th rounder. This should also close the door on Daunte Culpepper who is available via trade but if something isn't done quickly he will be released http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs needed a wide receiver and with Dwayne Bowe at #22 in the first round, they got good value and a very solid choice. Bowe has great hands and while his 40 time wasn't spectacular he plays faster and will help whoever starts at QB http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Big rumors surrounding another big name running back, Larry Johnson could be had in a trade? The Chiefs are denying they are shopping him, but word is he wants super big contract, he is a free agent after this year, and the Chiefs may not meet those demands. Don't count on him going anywhere though and the franchise tag may well be involved next year http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs finally made the trade... no not Trent Green, they have traded wide receiver / kick returner Dante Hall to the St. Louis Rams for a 5th round choice. The Rams needed to improve their return game and Hall was one of the most electrifying returners in the game. His number last year were not so spectacular, but the Rams hope that changes this year and his burst could be helped playing home games on their artificial turf. The move should end speculation of their drafting Ted Ginn Jr http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Someone needs to knock Chiefs GM Carl Peterson off his perch. He is holding tight to his demand of a 2nd round pick for QB Trent Green from the Dolphins. That's fine, it's his right. However he told the Kansas City Star - "I told Randy that they made a great trade with New England," Peterson said, referring to a recent deal that sent Wes Welker to the Patriots. "They got for what we would consider a third wide receiver and kick-return specialist second- and seventh-round draft picks. I told him that I think a starting quarterback is worth that. Interesting but I don't think they plan on starting him this year so what does he consider a backup QB worth? And what does any of that have to do with the Chiefs anyway? If Peterson holds Green in such high regard maybe he shouldn't be peddling him. Green will be 37 years old before the start of the season and suffered a severe concussion last year, so how many years does he have in him to possibly be a starter for the Dolphins? We'd say one or two tops where as Welker will be 26 when the season starts, has played only three years in the league and is an ascending player while Green is on his last legs... nice try but rather stupid to say http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have resigned DT James Reed to a one year deal. ESPN is reporting it is worth $2.5-$3 million with $200,000 to sign. The Chiefs entered the off season with questions on the d'line but have now resigned both starting tackles from last year and added Alfonso Boone from the Bears. More depth will come in the draft. Surprisingly former first round bust Ryan Sims has yet to be released, but that hardly means he make the team again... just a matter of time http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The weather is warming across the country and the Miami Dolphins are looking to make it more green on offense. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel they are getting closer to acquiring to completing a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Kansas City Chiefs Pro Bowl guard Will Shields has called it a career, announcing his retirement on his own web site. The 14 year veteran went to 12 Pro Bowl's in his career and started 223 straight games for the team http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Cleveland Browns asked about Chiefs QB Trent Green during the owners meetings according to the Plain Dealer. The Browns hold the number three pick in the draft and should have one of the top QB's still on the board when they pick but also like Adrian Peterson. Don't expect them to land Green but it is interesting. Miami is still the most likely trade partner but not until the two teams agree on a price. Don't be surprised to see it be a pair of mid to lower round picks maybe a 4th this year and a 5th next year http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Chiefs QB Trent Green wants to play in Miami according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel where he would be coach by Cam Cameron who he knows from their days in Washington, but according to the Kansas City Star the Lions are also interested. The Dolphins are also looking at David Carr but it is safe to say they prefer Green if they can swing a trade with the Chiefs. Look for Green to be dealt in the coming days as meetings take players with the GMs at the owners meeting this week. Daunte Culpepper's career in Miami could be a short one as well if they acquire Green adding another veteran to the market http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have resigned defensive line Jimmy Wilkerson to a 4 year deal according to ESPN. The Packers were making a push for Wilkerson, who decided to return to familiar ground. Wilkerson is versatile enough to play anywhere on the line and that is what made him a popular free agent http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Green Bay Packers are close to signing a second player in free agency according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, former Chiefs backup defensive lineman Jimmy Wilkerson. He can play end or tackle and has shown flashes but not more than a versatile backup so far http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs are helping to get the defensive tackle market moving, signing a second starter in two days. Former Bears DT Alfonso Boone has agreed to a 4 year deal worth $7-8 million with $1.5 guaranteed according to ESPN http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have resigned starting defensive tackle Ron Edwards to a 4 year contract according to ESPN. The Chiefs are very thin at tackle and it will be a priority spot in next month's draft http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Donnie Edwards started his career in Kansas City and it now appears he will end it there too after the former Chargers linebacker signed with the Chiefs for 3 years and $13.5 million with $7.5 million guaranteed according to the NFL Network. An excellent linebacker despite his age, he will be 34 next month, he is still a solid and dependable player. He will help solidify the defense as Herm Edwards looks for a bit of a makeover http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Houston Texans need to address their offensive line and specifically at left tackle. Today they signed former Chiefs tackle Jordan Black to a 2 year $3.4 million deal according to ESPN. Black can play on the left side but expect the Texans to look to further improve the line. Black comes without a huge price tag and may be the starter but more competition is needed http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs have signed former Seahawks long snapper Jean-Philippe Darche to a 4 year contract. Not much else you can say about a long snapper until the snap goes sailing over someones head http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Kansas City Chiefs QB Trent Green is still with the Chiefs but has been given permission to shop himself and see what other opportunities may be out there for him. The team would like him back with a restructured contract. Now it's up to Green to see what he wants to do http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Vikings LB Napoleon Harris to a 6 year deal worth $24 million, with $7.5 million guaranteed and $13 million in the first 3 years according to the NFL Network. Think they are reaching a bit there with that signing, especially at that price he will be moving into the starting lineup. He is familiar with the defense the Chiefs run but if he were worth it the Vikings wouldn't have been looking for an upgrade. Harris has the speed needed to be the middle linebacker in the Cover 2, but has never fully put it together on the field http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Dolphins tackle Damion McIntosh to a six year contract. The Chiefs to improve their line which went downhill last year. McIntosh can play guard or tackle and made 11 starts last year at left tackle for the Dolphins http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Tomorrow morning isn't Christmas but may seem like it in some NFL cities as free agency begins . There will be some quick signing and the sticker price will shock and awe http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net It didn't take long for the ripple effects from Damon Huard's new contract in Kansas City. The Kansas City Star is report the Chiefs are shopping Trent Green to other teams http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Kansas City Chiefs have resigned QB Damon Huard to a 3 year contract. Huard filled in very well last year for Trent Green and showed he can be a starter in the league. Terms of the contract are not known, but it is safe to save he got a heck of a raise http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Chiefs DE Jared Allen wants out of Kansas City but the team denied his trade request according to the Kansas City Star. Allen is a restricted free agent and will be tendered later this week with the highest tender giving him a $2.35 million one year deal and other teams will have to give up a first and third round pick. Allen is frustrated by the lack of a long term offer, but you can't blame the Chiefs after Allen just served a jail sentence for his second DUI arrest and the NFL suspension is not yet know. The Chiefs have to protect themselves against his history and potential to be suspended not only now but in the future http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Dolphins hired Terry Shea to be their new QB coach. He held the same job with the Chiefs last year http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs will be looking to get some help this off season to take the load off Larry Johnson who logged over 400 carries last year http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen will spend two days in the big house after pleading no contest to DUI charges. He will also spend two days in a lockdown tratment center and another on house arrest. It is his second DUI and not really what you want a month before you become a free agent, a restricted free agent who needs to clean up his act for more than just the money it will cost him http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net Look for Chiefs DT Ryan Sims to be dumped soon. In case you didn't know the former first round pick was still with the team. In 5 years he has amassed a whopping 69 tackles and 4 whole sacks. Sound like a bust to you? Think the Vikings are happy they didn't get him now? They did better waiting until the following year and drafting Kevin Williams, I guess the saying works, be careful what you wish for http://www.pfinsider.net/team.php?tid=18 PFInsider.net The Chiefs signed 13 players to futures contracts.
