I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him go to the Texans. Isn't he from Texas, and don't they need a more legit HB opposite Slaton, who could be a pretty damn good scatback?

I know it is probably not LT's highest choice, but couldn't the Lions use him as well?

Another team that is interesting is the Redskins. What if they decide that Portis is just too damn annoying and cut him, while looking for a young starter they could employ LT as a backup and mentor, plus he could still have enough of his legs to do pretty well behind the rats blocking scheme.

TEAR DOWN OF THE CARL PETERSON CHIEFS CONTINUES

If you are an employee of the Chiefs and you were around before 2009, the clock is apparently ticking on further employment.

More changes have come down in the organization as last Friday the team’s executive director of player development Lamonte Winston was told he would not be offered a new contract. Winston had been with the football operation for 17 years, starting as a scout and working his way in the player development field. Several years ago, the Chiefs player development programs were honored as one of the league’s best. Winston served many roles in his position, as he was the man players called when they had problems, or wanted to finalize their college education, or just joined the team and needed help in housing and family matters. It was a sensitive position that Winston handled well.

Among the front office employees at the end of the 2008 season, there are 39 that are no longer employed or working in the same job. Sports teams generally can have high turnover, but 37 people in 13 months is a remarkable number..

And those still standing at the team’s offices think the purge is not over.

I wonder why they'd fire this guy?

Maybe they're purging the organization to get rid of insider contacts and leaks?
