This is odd. The Kansas City Chiefs will be treating former Ole Miss RB Dexter McCluster as a wide receiver, according to Kent Babb of the Kansas City Star. “FYI: The Chiefs will officially list McCluster as a wide receiver,” Babb tweets. Wow. Ever see any film on McCluster? This kid is a speedy little [...]
The Washington Redskins almost did it. They almost went through an entire offseason without signing some big name who can’t really play anymore. But, according to Adam Schefter, they signed free agent Larry Johnson to a three-year contract today, so they’ve kept their streak alive. “Filed to ESPN: There’s a new running back in Washington. [...]
According to NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora, former Kansas City Chief and Cincinnati Bengal RB Larry Johnson is scheduled to meet with the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders this week. “RB Larry Johnson has visits planned to Skins and Raiders this week. More on NFL..com and NFL Network. About to do a chat on NFL.com,” [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs have found their pairing for RB Jamaal Charles and his name is Thomas Jones, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It’s a two-year, $5 million contract that will pay Jones $3 million this year and $2 million in 2011, with $500,000 in incentives. Jones is expected to be an 8-12 touch [...]
After getting cut by the San Diego Chargers during the 2009 season, he was picked up by the Kansas City Chiefs, who are desperate to add anyone to their team that is good at football. His contract ran out and he’s now on the street as a free agent. Well, a league source tells PFT [...]
Adam Schefter, who is a bowl of football knowledge and a Twitter machine, is reporting that former Jets running back Thomas Jones is scheduled to visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. PHOTO CAPTION: Thomas Jones is not even flexing in this picture Jones would be a very nice complement to Jamaal Charles, who finished [...]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Arizona Cardinals have spent much of Friday mulling trade options for veteran WR Anquan Boldin. PFT is hearing that the interested teams include the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots. It was reported earlier this week that the Cardinals would take a third rounder for him, [...]
Apparently, the San Diego Chargers have changed their minds about letting RB Darren Sproles walk in free agency. The team has tendered him at the first- and third-round levels, meaning he’ll be getting $7.27 million if he stays with the team. That also means that anyone who wants to sign him now, will have to [...]
Despite playing in the NFL for nine years, Chris Terry apparently didn’t make good use of the money he made. If he did, he probably wouldn’t be selling cocaine. The 34-year old former offensive tackle last played for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007. He currently plays for the Clark County jail in Indiana where [...]
Former Notre Dame stick in the mud (or tree trunk in the mud?) Charlie Weis was hired today by the Kansas City Chiefs as their offense coordinator. “My relationship with Todd and my relationship with Scott and several other persons in the organization made Kansas City look like a fine landing spot for me,” Weis [...]
Team and league sources tell ESPN.com’s Bill Williamson that Charlie Weis has agreed to terms with the Kansas City Chiefs to become their new offensive coordinator. The deal could be announced within the next day or so, according to the sources. “Until a deal is done, I really can’t say anything,” Weis said. “It’s not [...]
Kansas City finally has a running back with class (that’s a shot at Larry Johnson and no one else). RB Jamaal Charles ran all over the Denver defense to the tune of 259 yards on Sunday and did it on only 25 carries. 10+ yards per carry, Denver? Really? Brandon Marshall doesn’t play defense you [...]
Former LSU Tigers and current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was suspended by the National Football League on Tuesday for four games for “violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.” PHOTO CAPTION: “Yeah, get me five reds, eight greens, and a couple of those whites that get me all fast.” This is [...]
Kawika Mitchell and Larry Johnson were drafted in the same year (2003) by the Kansas City Chiefs. So they were in the same draft class and were teammates for four years. Mitchell, now on injured reserve with the Buffalo Bills, apparently doesn’t think too highly of Larry these days, and because he’s done for the [...]
Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs have had enough of Larry Johnson’s poor production and off-the-field behavior. They have decided to cut ties with him and be done with it. Their press release says: “The Kansas City Chiefs released RB Larry Johnson on Monday. In 75 games (55 starts) with Kansas City, Johnson rushed 1,375 times [...]
After getting lambasted by the San Diego Chargers 37-7 (at least they scored?), Kansas City Chiefs RB Larry Johnson decided to go off on the team’s coaching staff, which we are sure means head coach Todd Haley. “My father got more creditentials than most of these pro coaches,” Johnson tweeted. “Google my father!!!!!!!” (His pops [...]
NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora was told by numerous league sources that the coaching staff for the Kansas City Chiefs are not high on the fifth overall pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and the salary-cap ramifications wouldn’t be a deterrent in dealing for Glenn Dorsey. PHOTO CAPTION: The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Raiders [...]
For the second straight week the Kansas City will make a decision on Sunday about whether or not Matt Cassel will get his first start as a Chief. For those of you who don’t know, Matt Cassel plays the quarterback position. If Cassel is not able to go, Brodie Coyle will get the nod again. [...]
Baltimore Ravens WR Derrick Mason didn’t like some recent comments from Keyshawn Johnson and Cris Carter on a conference call. With regards to Joe Flacco, Keyshawn said “you want a bum, you pay a bum.” “Keyshawn Johnson is the bum, that’s why he’s in the analyst seat,” said Mason after the Ravens win against Kansas [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs have released WR Amani Toomer in an effort to trim their roster from 80 players down to 75. Toomer’s release may spell the end of the road for the 35-year old. He showed his trademark good hands in camp but was never able to get separation. That’s a problem.
A source within the Kansas City Chiefs has told Yahoo! sports that Matt Cassel suffered a strained MCL and an ankle injury after getting sacked on the third play of the game of Saturday’s preseason loss to Seattle. Furthermore, Cassel could miss two to four weeks, including the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on [...]
Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star points out that Chiefs coach Todd Haley has benched their top WR Dwayne Bowe. Haley indicated that he’s not happy with Bowe’s integration into the “program.” We have a tough time believing that this will stick. Bowe is far and away the Chiefs best receiving threat and Haley [...]
A source tells the National Football Post that the Chiefs have agreed to terms with #3-overall draft pick Tyson Jackson. Jackson played his college ball at LSU and will be a defensive end in the 3-4 scheme.
The Kansas City Chiefs could be in the market for a veteran wide receiver as they hosted a trio of….you guess it, veteran wide receivers. The team brought in 34-year old Amani Toomer (may have the best sideline body control in the league), 30-year old former first-round pick David Terrell (never caught more than 43 [...]
In a recent interview with the team’s website, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley hinted (ok, came right out and said) that WR Dwayne Bowe needs to drop a lot of weight. Apparently, someone wasn’t doing their Wii Fit in the offseason. “I would say that Dwayne’s been very receptive to what we’re trying [...]
