Last year he did have a hard time. He was sacked 47 times. Thigpen was only sacked 26 times.

I love this deal to the fullest. A second round pick for a veteran in Vrabel, and a potential franchise QB with Cassel. Great trade. Keep doin' what you do Pioli. He's doing a great job.

I love it too. I now think that the chiefs are on their way to an eventual Super Bowl appearance in about 5-10 years!

Something i'm also excited about is that the Chiefs are Hosting Super Bowl XLIX (49) in 2015!

Actually, Thigpen wins in a way. He's a FA in 2010. If he looks good in preseason, runs some gadget plays and (hopefully) mops up a few games this year, getting a decent-to-big size contract in 2010 isn't out of the question.

How do we really know if this cassel guy is gonna be good??? and we basically gave up donnie edwards for mike vrabel, donnie is 2 times faster then him, all vrabel can do is blitz and then play tight end sometimes I really think we have a lot of wholes to fill still on both sides of the line and need some linebackers I hope a lot more is done in free agency
