New England Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli has agreed to become head of football operations for the Kansas City Chiefs, two NFL sources confirmed to ESPN's Michael Smith.
Pioli was seen packing up his office Tuesday afternoon, a Patriots source said.
The decision to hire Pioli likely means Herman Edwards will not be back as Chiefs head coach next season. Among the top candidates to succeed Edwards is New York Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.
Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio will replace Pioli as vice president of player personnel, league sources told ESPN.
Pioli, 43, has been with the Patriots for nine years.
Pioli should find a warm welcome in Kansas City. At the last Chiefs home game, shortly after the embattled Carl Peterson resigned after 20 years as president, general manager and CEO, several signs were spotted in the crowd proclaiming, "We want Pioli."

THought this needed its own thread for all of those not scouring the Pioli Watch thread.
