Who's not to say a trade for LJ or TG is not in the works? I don't think he will let go of Cassell.

This was taken from the KC Star and it does make you wonder will they cut, keep him at a cheaper rate if he agree's or maybe even trade. Pioli is a kind of mystery man here so you never know what he might or can do.
At issue is $3.75 million of guaranteed money Johnson is due from the Chiefs in the contract extension he signed in August 2007. The contract calls for $3.5 million of Johnson’s 2009 salary and $250,000 of his 2010 salary to be guaranteed regardless of whether he plays for them or not.
The Chiefs claim the one-game suspension he received from the NFL last year for violating the league’s personal-conduct policy is a breach of his contract and frees them from having to pay the guaranteed money.
A source familiar with the situation has said the Chiefs would probably release Johnson if they prevail, suggesting the team wouldn’t be going through the trouble if it didn’t intend to free him from his contract.
Hey all whats going on? Im home on leave and catching up on alot of Chiefs news..Im new to this site I get to check it once in awhile when im over there.
Let me chime in on this tread. I DO NOT want the Chiefs to trade Cassel to the Donkeys. I really dont want them doing anything that can help the Broncs out. I want them to start Orton and them fail miserable this season. He has no arm to throw the ball deep to Marshal.
I love the fact Cutler is gone. And yes this does throw a curve ball into the draft.
I do not want to help the donks in any way either. The #12 and #18 picks are close to a wash for our #3. IF and I mean IF they were to give up some more boot, how do you not make the deal? If he hollers make him pay... just a question. I mean a 2nd round pick parlayed to two first(maybe 3? how bad do you want him McDaniels?) you get O-line, LB, DE.
If this is going to happen, Seattle will have to show a LOT of interest in Sanchez leading up to the draft.
I like the idea of trading our 1st round pic, even tho it is the Broncos. You can't tell me getting #12 and #18 wouldn't be worth it. We probably could sign both those guys for the price of the #3. We probably give up the chance at Curry and/or Orakpo but we can get guys like Maualuga/Cushing/Brown/Maybin/Ayers/T. Jackson and maybe one of the 4 OT's could drop to 12 (A. Smith/Oher). It also gives us an option of a RB (Moreno/Wells) depending on how the Larry Johnson situation pans out. And who knows, maybe Pioli can trade one of those picks to acquire more picks. I'm licking my chops at all the possibilities; this should be one exciting draft to watch.
And as far as this helping the Broncos? Maybe at best. Sanchez will take time to develop and hopefully by then we'll have a firm hold on the AFC West year after year. If Pioli though Sanchez was that good he wouldn't have traded for Cassell and would just draft the guy. And he might be a huge bust too...only one decent-good year at USC? Lots of upside, sure, but Alex Smith had a lot of upside too.
