King of the Cassel

What is there to say about the Chiefs? Aside from the Buccaneers, they could be the worst team in football this year. The one-year wonder Matt Cassel is at the helm again and this time… he is pretty much in the same predicament as last year. He had that one great year in New England filling in for the injured Tom Brady and wanted an opportunity to start. He got that wish, though he probably has some regrets considering the situation he is in now with the Chiefs.

Now that Larry Johnson is gone, their running back situation is wide open. There isn’t one back in the depth chart that sticks out. Their top receivers are Dwayne Bowe and Chris Chambers. Their defense is one of the worst in the league in every category. Want me to say something positive about this squad? The way they are currently constructed makes it very difficult, so… sorry but I can’t. The Chiefs will finish the year at 3-13.

Source: Chiefs, Jones sign 2-year deal

Kansas City signed running back Thomas Jones to a two-year deal worth $5 million, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

The Chiefs announced the deal Tuesday but declined to disclose the terms.

Jones was released by the Jets last week after being due a $3 million roster bonus on top of a $2.8 million base salary this season. He and the Jets failed to reach a compromise on restructuring his contract; the team wanted him to take a pay cut.

Jones wasn’t the only running back on Kansas City’s radar. After spending Tuesday with the Washington Redskins, Pittsburgh Steelers free-agent running back Willie Parker was scheduled to visit the Chiefs on Thursday, a league source told Schefter, but the trip was canceled when Jones entered the fold.

The Chiefs also met with Justin Fargas on Tuesday, according to a league source.

Chiefs Secondary Has Been Exposed With Big Plays

TheHockeyGuy — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 15:40:18 +0000

Win or lose, the Chiefs have a problem that doesn’t seem to be going away. They know their defense has a hard time stopping big plays, and the bigger problem is that other teams have begun to notice, too.

And unless the Chiefs get it under control, opponents might spend the next five weeks picking on their increasingly worrisome secondary.

“We will get beat,” coach Todd Haley said this week, a day after San Diego ripped through the Chiefs defense in a 43-14 win.

The Chargers appeared to shape their offensive game plan with the notion of attacking the secondary in mind, and it worked — and kept working against a defense that has tried many options but can’t seem to get past its overmatched personnel and persistent injuries.

Before the Chiefs get to those final five contests in a season that seems as much about education as anything, they have at least learned that perhaps their top offseason need lies at safety.

Johnson released by Chiefs

GameSetMatch — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:51:06 +0000

Larry Johnson’s record-breaking career as a Kansas City running back is over.

The Chiefs confirmed Monday that they had run out of patience with his off-the-field problems and released Johnson the day he was due to come back from his second suspension in a year.

Johnson, who turns 30 on Nov. 19, was just 75 yards away from breaking Priest Holmes’ team rushing record.

The decision by the Chiefs (1-7) was not a surprise.

“A part of him is excited and a part of him is very regretful,” Johnson’s agent, Peter Schaffer, told The Associated Press. “There’s a lot of feelings going on right now. It’s analogous to breaking up with a girlfriend. Maybe you saw it coming, but it still hurts when it happens.”

Chiefs suspend RB Larry Johnson

GameSetMatch — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:44:11 +0000

Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, who made two gay slurs within a 24-hour period, was given what amounts to a one-game suspension Wednesday night, but Johnson’s agent said he would appeal.

Agent Peter Schaffer said the game check and other lost revenue would amount to about a penalty of about $600,000 for the former two-time Pro Bowl player.

In a three-sentence release, the Chiefs said Johnson would be suspended until Monday, Nov. 9 for conduct detrimental to the team. The Chiefs are on their bye week and will not play again until traveling to Jacksonville on Nov. 8.

The Chiefs had been saying for three days that they were “investigating” the situation. Johnson was told to stay away from the team on Tuesday.

Schaffer said he had consulted with the Players Association about the appeal.

Dwayne Bowe and making the most of your chances

GameSetMatch — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:27:27 +0000

Dwayne Bowe is one of the good parts. We can all probably agree on that. He is among a handful of players on the Chiefs’ current roster you can see and say, yeah, you can win with that guy.

Maybe not as a No. 1 receiver. Or maybe so. He just turned 25 last month, there’s still room for him to get better*, learn to run better routes and the tricks of using a big body and, most of all, cut down on his drops.

And there’s the point for today. The drops.

* Cross-sport analogies are never perfect, but there’s a bit of Mark Teahen circa 2006-07 in Bowe right now. The potential is there for him to be a very, very good player — the kind a team can build WITH, if not around. Teahen hasn’t made that leap, and time is running out.

Bowe caught six passes for 109 yards on Sunday, which is very good. He’s had only one game in his career with more yards.

It’s about time: Haley gets first win as Chiefs’ head coach

GameSetMatch — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:44:12 +0000

Todd Haley stepped into a hallway, the tears still in his eyes and the praise still coming. Somebody handed him a cell phone. It was his wife. That didn’t help the overflow of emotion that he was experiencing.

“I’ve been waiting to enjoy one of these,” said Haley, the Chiefs’ coach.

The postgame meeting and a different kind of news conference behind him, Haley took a breath and absorbed what it meant to get his first victory as Kansas City’s head coach, a 14-6 win at Washington. His shirt was still soaked after an ice bath, and his eyes remained red from four hours of cold and ending five weeks of losses. Haley, 42, leaned against a wall and was honest about the day’s importance.
