Yeah I changed computers and just recently remembered about this site. Good to be back. Even better to see the Chiefs turning into winners before our eyes.

I think the Chiefs now need to go after Khalif Barnes and Laverneus Coles. This would give us a dependable speed receiver and a RT. Then we can focus on the defense in the draft. I say we stay at 3 and draft Curry. Maybe trade someone for a second round to try and grab Alex Mack because I am very high on that guy.

Chiefs obviously got a great deal for acquiring Cassel. I think both KC and NE will both be happy with what they got.

I hope we go after Curry now with the #3...we have Vrabel to mentor a young Curry and DJ and lead our new 3-4 defense.

This is from NFL Networks Adam Shefter :Just in and added, Pioli out bid Detroit and the Bucs as they wanted to get Cassell to trade to Denver for Cutler and they just did not get it done. It seems that Pioli is steppin on other teams and lovin it. I'M Lovin it!

interesting that Cutler was in trade talks.. looks like McDaniels might have wanted Cassel over Cutler to run his offense.

What was NE going to get? Pioli obviously outbid that deal.

Apparently Cutler is not too happy that he was being shopped. That's also good news for the Chiefs.

This is the best move made by the Chiefs in 10 years.

The man does seem to be a shrewd businessman. I LIKE it!

WOW is all i can say. With one pick in the draft, he gets 2 great players. and we didnt have to give up the first round pick. i bet the pats didnt want that big money pick. Just kinda leary now because we have 2 QB that are about the same as skill level. But hey we finally got that QB we were clearing the cap for.
