Fine, flip them a fourth.


He's absolutely worth more than that tho.

What if DRC came over and signed with us?

Mosher's coming around, too.

Sounds like it's going to happen.

Are you talking about Bailey or Austin.

Because Austin and McCluster are practically identical in size, only Austin is faster.

I don't think Horton is going to stay in AZ if he doesn't get the head job.

I also don't think with the coaches available, and the amount of jobs, that he gets a head job.

That is so awesome. Sounds like a scene from a movie.

Meh, he wasn't very good this year, but he probably won't cost alot.


I'd be fine with him though.


I'm also big on trading a pick or two for Maclin.

Amazing to think of that actually happening. Such a hilarious mental image. Piolis narrowed eyes

Ha, Rappaport and "I'm told". Guy has never broken a story in his life and just piggybacks everyone elses.

He's the same one who kept insisting Ferentz was in play too.

He's the worst.

Who would have guessed that out of the 7 teams KC will have their coach first?

Awesome.

and a true WR/Return Guy

How much of a 'process' could there reasonably be to that? "Hey guys, sorry, KC blew my doors off with an offer, I'm going there. Thanks for your interest though, I hope we can remain friends". That's an eight second phone call.

Won't we have to jump on him pretty quick, seems Reid wants to get hte staff in place?


Also, what are you hearing about Pioli staying on?

Slow motion wrapper drop at the feet of Andy Reid, camera focused on Piolis face in the background. Beautiful cinematography. :)

How did you make it so pretty? I posted the same thing but it looked like shit.

ROFL love it.

And get arguably the best option.

IS THIS REAL LIFE?

Same shit was said about Wylie. Who's the same size and ran a 4.37, although he packs about 20 more lbs.

All it needs is the theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" playing in the background.

Beaker!

We've got a Beaker here!

The only real concern with Maclin is his health. The kid just can't seem to stay healthy. If I'm a lot of teams, I'd give up a 2nd for him but frankly we need that pick, especially being that high.

I'd give up the Chiefs 3rd in a heartbeat and then have a nice little Tigergasm.

Hacks. **** them. They've been nothing but a big pile of wrong lately.

Anyone upset by the fact that Andy Reid is apparently looking to sign all his 'friends and cronies'?

Very likely Q, but I just saw dumbass former NFL jock (who can keep track of them all?) and Mark Schlereth on Sports Center talking about Andy Reid's success with QBs. They both said, "He will do a good job getting Matt Cassel to be more comfortable and confident." I busted a gut laughing.

Most Coaches want this.

I'm hearing the only way Scott Pioli stays in place is if he wants to pick up candy wrappers in the stairway.

You're better than this...

Not yet. We could be cussing out the "Eagles Way" in a couple years though.

Yea, I'm not a drafturbator and don't know all the prospects but from my quick google search on him, you couldn't pass him for Tavon. I like 6ft tall physical corners.

Well, no.


His friends and cronies have atleast been successful.

No, because they actually know what the **** they're doing.

Only by the Pioli-smokers.

It's about football speed. Wylie doesn't show his speed on tape, Austin does.

I can see people not wanting to use the pick on him because of our other needs, but Austin's going to be a very dangerous player in this league, IMO. Ultimately I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Pats take him.

Yeah id rather he hire people he doesn't know and coaches he hates.
Posted via Mobile Device

In place as Gm or in place at all?


Any word on why he was brought along for the interviews?

KC Sports Corner ‏@KCSportsCorner

Looks like Andy Reid chose ribs over burritos. I am not surprised.

Not really, it's a whole new roster, a number one pick, and as where Fescoe believes he's burnt out I think with Philly and his sons death behind him, he's just getting started.

oh ... sorry, didn't see yours

threads move so fast some times



Firefox automatically copies the coding/links/pictures etc with you copy/paste an article or whatever.

No, because his "friends and cronies" happen to be pretty damn qualified, all things considered. We could end up with a very solid coaching staff top-to-bottom as a result of this hiring, assuming it doesn't fall through.

The percentages say "Yes".


Might as well enjoy the moment.

I'm excited he is not signing our shitass coaching staff. My God, anyone is better than the losers we had.

OR that could be why Haley was reached out to by Arizona.

That's the real bombshell about to drop: Clark's sole motive in all this is to salvage Cassel.

I don't care if he's part of the Philadelphia Eagle crime family. Brad Childress at QB coach + Geno makes me jizz harder than a fire hose.

No beacuse I think he's the brains of the operation and the people he gets works well with him.

Pioli is the exact opposite. It's not about who he works well with, it's who he can have control over.

Even if they keep Cassel they will be bringing in a few more QBs for a real competition, and we know he's not winning that. He can be a third stringer as he should have been all along.

Burnt out guy who hasn't done anything since 2009 rides into town with his other recently fired compadres? I got torched for suggesting that a few doxen pages ago.

Heckert - Fired
Shurmur - Fired
Chilly - Fired

I wouldn't count Castillo because it was a dumb move to try and switch him from O-Line to Defensive Coordinator, but still, Fired.

we are not getting this staff at the peak of their careers it would seem.

Cassel is set to make 7.5M. We are about to pick a #1 QB, who WILL start. If Reid is thinking about keeping Cassel as a backup at that price I'm calling AZ and asking them wtf their problem is.

NFL Network reporting the same thing. They interviewed Ian R. and he reinterated the original report that a deal will get done with the Chiefs.

If we get an extra third from the Carr deal, yeah, I'd sling it for Maclin.

Then, I'd re sign Bowe and not really worry about my WR's for now.

This fanbase is going to be upset anyway if Pioli is still associated with this team.
If they Trot Cassel on the field, Vince Lombardi could not even get cheers. The city will melt down and rightfully so.

There is NO WAY Cassel even remains on this roster.

Reid should go out and grab the Bears Special Teams coach.

People forget that Maclin left school as a RS Sophomore.

He's been in the league for 4 years and is still only 24 years old. If you make a move for Maclin and re-sign Bowe, you have your WR corps locked down for the next 3-5 years and you have a pretty damn good one at that.

I don't think you can get Maclin for a 3rd, though.

Now now we can't have any of that negative talk it is all rainbows and unicorns.

Can't trade comp picks

Not really...

Fairly certain he was talking about the Chiefs actual 3rd round pick.

Giants fans said that about TC. You never know what a change of scenery will do. He was there a long time. Odds were that he or the roster would burn out. Not to mention they tried building a super team and it failed. As for Childress, not sure how his issue as HC in MIN affects his ability as an OC/QB coach.

Even if you could, I have to imagine the the Eagles would insist on no worse than the 1st pick in the 3rd for a 24 yr old deep threat with 3 years of solid production.

Sounds vaguely like the "right 53"

What do you think it takes to get him? They likely can't sign him long term after this year.

Don't worry about Cassel. We can't afford to pay that kind of money for a guy who probably isn't even an NFL backup

No more then I would be if Phil Jackson brought all this buddies and cronies into a basketball organization I was a fan of.

He's not going to be here at all.

He was brought along to see if the new coach would mesh with him. Clark wanted to see if it fit before just hiring someone and see if it fit later on. He wants 2013 to begin immediately.

It was the smart thing to do. Pioli had to discuss the entire roster with Reid.

He's basically made it as uncomfortable on Pioli as he could.

IF they did take it, you'd be crazy not to give it.


You getting a player of that quality in the 3rd?

...

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YEi7GPkxfsE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Any news on when something will be officially announced one way or another?

So nice to see some positivity and joy on Doomplanet. It's been so long...

Even after we locked up the top pick, people were depressed because Pioli wasn't gone.

Can't wait for the "chiefs WILL pick a QB first overall" rumors to hit twitter after the combine. Every month better than the last from here in out!

I don't think there is a prayer of Matt Cassel sticking on this roster. When Pioli goes, he's going too.

This. Cassel has proven himself as a ****ing failure. There is no need for him to be on this team next year.....even as a 3rd string QB.

I haven't been this excited about the Chiefs since we signed Bobby Sippio.

So I take it it didn't fit very well?

I would think he'd be worth a 2nd, but the Chiefs 2nd is way too valuable.

They may just want to ride with him. Remember, they have a new QB and coach coming in as well. While they may not be able to re-sign him, they still need to have some weapons for Foles (or whoever) and the incoming HC.

They may just get their year out of him, let him walk and take a 4th rounder as a comp pick. Isn't it worth keeping him for the extra year if all it costs you is a round or so in the draft pick?
