Teicher: An Amani Toomer story
|
|
The Chiefs needed a receiver to stay after practice yesterday to
catch some throws from new QB Matt Gutierrez. Normally, the veteran
receivers scoot and some rookie gets stuck with the job.
Instead, 13-year veteran Amani Toomer stayed for a half-hour to run
routes and shag Gutierrez's passes. Impressive stuff to me. Says
something about Toomer. continue reading...

Williamson: Vick in Kansas City? Don't think so
|
|
Can Michael Vick really be an option in Kansas City? Really, I don't think so.  OK,
Kansas City is one of the few teams yet to publicly close the door on
Vick, but that's no reason to think Kansas City is a major player for
his services. Because of the secretive ways of new general manager
Scott Pioli, the Chiefs don't talk about anything. So silence on the Vick matter has to be expected. continue reading...

AP: Battle battling his way into lineup
|
|
Kansas City Chiefs running back Jackie
Battle is used to fighting for everything he gets. Maybe
that's why he's having such a good training camp.
New Chiefs coach Todd Haley has stressed competition in
everything, from drills to scrimmages to conditioning.
Battle has thrived in the never-let-down atmosphere, putting
himself in position to make the 53-man roster. continue reading...

PFT: Tyson Jackson to get $31 million guaranteed
|
Chiefs defensive end Tyson Jackson is on his way to training camp, and he'll be a very rich man when he arrives.
Nick
Wright of KCSP radio in Kansas City has alerted PFT that Jackson's deal
is for five years and $57 million, with $31 million guaranteed.
Jackson was the third overall pick in April's draft.
Agents
of other rookie holdouts, especially Seahawks linebacker Aaron Curry,
will be examining all the particulars of Jackson's deal closely.
If the figures hold up, Jackson will receive only $2 million less in guarantees than number two pick, Rams T Jason Smith.

Woodson laments loss of K.C. great Thomas
|
|
As Rod Woodson goes down the list of those joining him in this year's
Pro Football Hall of Fame class of inductees, the former Pittsburgh
Steelers defensive back stops to reflect when he reaches one name. "Derrick Thomas and the tragedy that happened to him," said Woodson,
referring to the former Kansas City Chiefs' pass-rushing linebacker
whose career was cut short in February 2000, when he died after a car
accident. "I wish he was still here to go in with." It would've
been something to see. For as fiercely as Thomas played the game,
registering the most sacks of any player in the 1990s, he also was
known for his outgoing personality off the field and for being one of
the most charismatic athletes of his generation. And his
trademark grin - the one that could light up a place as big as Fawcett
Stadium in Canton, Ohio - will be fondly remembered Saturday, when
Thomas is inducted along with Woodson, defensive end Bruce Smith,
offensive tackle Randall McDaniel, Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson and
receiver Bob Hayes, who also will be enshrined posthumously after he
died in 2002 at age 59. It's the type of setting Thomas would've truly enjoyed. continue reading...

Jackson Signed
|
Per PFT:
Brad Biggs of NFP and Nick Wright of KCSP radio in Kansas City report
that the Chiefs have agreed to terms with defensive end Tyson Jackson,
the third overall pick in the 2009 draft.
Per Wright, it's a five-year deal.
The
development could accelerate talks between the Seahawks and linebacker
Aaron Curry, the fourth overall pick. It's widely believed that Curry
and the Seahawks were waiting on Jackson and the Chiefs.

Cassel ready on his own after Tom Brady's Franchise QB 101
|
|
Tom Brady cracked up when informed of former New England Patriots backup Matt Cassel's baptism by blog.
The new face of the Kansas City Chiefs was
enjoying a relaxing dinner with wife, Lauren, at a Kansas City country
club. That is, until the waiter dished about their menu choices and
conversation. "The first time I went up to have a bite to eat
at the golf clubhouse, the guy who was actually serving the food wrote
a full blog about what my wife and I had for dinner, what we were
talking about," Cassel said.
"I was sitting there saying, 'What just happened?"' Didn't Brady warn his offseason training partner to keep his head on a swivel off the field, too?
"No, Tom's got paparazzi running around after him," Cassel said.
Brady laughed that night from Foxborough, Mass., when asked about withholding his secret of how he and supermodel wife, Gisele Bundchen, have adapted under the microscope.
"I guess there's some things you have to learn on your own," Brady said.
Cassel's crash course in Franchise Quarterback
101 continues. His inspired play last season earned the 27-year-old a
six-year, $63-million deal from former Patriots vice president of
player personnel Scott Pioli, the first-year Chiefs general manager. continue reading...
