ChiefsPlanet - Chiefs Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid (merged)

Reports have Andy Reid to Kansas City all but done. Awesome. Don't know how this turns out, but AFC West so much more interesting these days

He's not giving the current staff any chance to interview for any spots. Reid is tearing it all down and building it from scratch.

Wait, which current staff? The Philly staff?

$4 million if I read that right; he doesn't get the roster bonus in 2013 and has a reduced base salary in 2014.

2013: $3.8 million + 200K workout bonus = $4 million
2014: $3 million + 200K workout bonus + 1 mil roster bonus = $4.2 million.

That's reasonable, but again, with the likelihood that the market would only give him about half that, I could see him getting cut.

Any ideas (your thoughts or from your source) on who the DC could possibly be?

I was floated Monte Kiffin's name a lot. I checked again this afternoon and was told there's no smoke there.

They did say that if Ray Horton gets passed over for Arizona, that Reid has interest in bringing him here.

I'd rather have Bailey, I didn't know he was pushing 200.

Santana Moss has had a decent career despite having terrible footbal size.

I just came in my pants.

I wanted this mother****er burned to the ground, and it appears that's exactly what is going to happen.

Yea. Well that's what happens when you open a BBQ joint in a former shyster used car lot's building.

I remember LC's when the smoker used to be chained to the sign post out front.

That old black charred smoker they have now is responsible for so much goodness. That smoker is magic. I always joked with my buddy how it would be funny if they got a new employee who took it upon themselves to clean the shit out of that smoker. "Look boss, shiny and new!" LC: "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! All the smoky goodness!!!"

So Acee's not reporting that Reid is talking to the Chargers?

Yes, but more importantly, what does Eric Winston think?

I heard people on ESPN talk about the Rams' awesome offense 5 years after they were the 'greatest show on turf'.... so they're probably still thinking about the Cardinals' offense when they had Kurt Warner.
