PFT: Jaguars talking about Thigpen
|
The brief, brilliant entertaining Tyler Thigpen era in
Kansas City appears to be coming to an end. The Jaguars have
reportedly shown interest in acquiring the Chiefs' third-stringer, offering a fifth-round pick for him, according to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora.
The
Chiefs are reportedly holding out for more, but getting that much value
sounds pretty good for a player they don't have a lot of use for. (Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.)
Perhaps the Chiefs feel like they can wait because they have received interest from other teams. The Ravens reportedly inquired about Thigpen recently, while the Panthers and Bucs made calls before the draft.

Robinson: Haley, Pioli trying to reprogram Chiefs
|
|
Every day he wakes up, Dwayne Bowe(notes) thinks about it. The Kansas City Chiefs
wideout drives to the practice facility in anticipation. He parks his
SUV and ponders it. And when he finally sees coach Todd Haley, maybe in
a corridor or coming around a corner, he knows how every minute of his
day will play out.
“[Tuesday] when he saw me, he smiled,” Bowe said. “I knew it was
going to be one of those days where he was [encouraging] me and not
yelling so much. It was all positive. But if he doesn’t look at you, or
he’s not smiling or talking, you know it’s going to be a [tough] day.
Each day, you just never know.”
Asked if he ever thought about such a thing a year ago – reading the
facial expression of former coach Herm Edwards – Bowe lets out a
telling laugh and shakes his head. continue reading...

Former Chiefs CB Eric Warfield gets 1-3 years for fourth-offense DUI
|
 Former Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Eric Warfield has been sentenced to
one-to-three years in a Nebraska prison for fourth-offense drunken driving. Lancaster County District Judge Jodi Nelson also revoked Warfield's driver's
license for 15 years. Warfield was sentenced on Monday.
Warfield, arrested Feb. 1, pleaded guilty to DUI and refusal to submit to a
chemical test.
Warfield's three other DUI convictions were in Johnson County, Kan., in 2001,
2003 and 2004.
Warfield, who played for Nebraska during the 1995-97 seasons, spent eight
years with the Kansas City Chiefs.
He sat out the first four games of the 2005 season for violating the NFL's
substance-abuse policy, and he was cut in March 2006. |

La Confora: Jacksonville and Kansas City talking QB trade
|
|
The Kansas City Chiefs have been talking to the Jacksonville Jaguars about quarterback Tyler Thigpen, according to a league source, but have been unable to come to an agreement to this point. Thigpen is stuck behind starter Matt Cassel, and with fellow backup Brody Croyle coming off a decent preseason performance and with him also having a close relationship with offensive coordinator Chan Gailey, Croyle has been the favorite to win the No. 2 job. Thigpen has also shined at times in the past and did some nice things last season when starting for the Chiefs. He would welcome the opportunity to move on to an organization where he might have a better shot of getting on the field, according to a source. To this point the Chiefs have been seeking draft-pick compensation higher than the fifth round, according to a source, while the Jaguars have been dangling a fifth-rounder. continue reading... |

Haley Says Nobody Has Officially Made The Chiefs Team Yet
|
|
"Finally, it appeared, there was a breakthrough on the practice field. In the Chiefs' first session back in Kansas City after more than three weeks of training in Wisconsin, there was a single arrowhead sticker on one side of linebacker Mike Vrabel's helmet.
That meant, of course, Vrabel had made the team. Coach Todd Haley had back in the spring famously ordered the arrowhead stickers removed from the helmets for practice, saying players would earn them back when they made the team.
So for the first part of practice, it looked as if Vrabel, even with just one Arrowhead sticker, was the first real Chief. And it wouldn't be a poor choice. Vrabel in training camp has been everything the Chiefs hoped when they acquired him last winter in the trade with New England that also brought quarterback Matt Cassel.
But it was not to be. Midway through practice, an equipment guy grabbed Vrabel's helmet during a break and ripped off the sticker.
Apparently, it was an oversight. The Chiefs returned from their recent game in Minnesota in the wee hours Saturday morning and, in their haste, the equipment staff missed one sticker on Vrabel's helmet.
Still, no Chiefs player has officially made the team. Not Vrabel. Not Cassel and his multimillion dollar contract. Not cornerback Brandon Flowers, who is quietly having a fantastic camp. Read More |

Williamson: Chiefs aggressively try to fix O-line woes
|
|
We just found out something about new Kansas City general manager
Scott Pioli: He is going to aggressively try to fix problem areas. After
the Chiefs' offensive line struggled in the first two preseason games,
Pioli has made a move to improve both the starting lineup and the depth
on the unit. Pioli acquired guard/tackle Ike Ndukwe and guard/center Andy Alleman from Miami. Ndukwe started 15 games at guard last season and he was moved to tackle this season. He could push both guard Mike Goff and tackle Barry Richardson
in Kansas City. Both Goff and Richardson have struggled. Alleman could
potentially push for a starting spot at guard if Ndukwe wins the tackle
job. continue reading...
