Anyone listening to 810
 

It is being discussed elsewhere that St. John on 810 this morning said there were issues with Trotter's physical given by KC? Any truth to this from anyone who listens to the show?

Just tuned in.

Lamenting about Gay-U right now.

I'm listening, but didn't hear that.

It might make sense.......beings that Every NFL team that looked at him was nervous about his knee last season.

Hartwell would sure look nice in Red.

Yeah, the tiggers did suck quite a bit of ass last night :D

the issue with his physical popped up when Trotter mentioned he wouldn't play for free....

I didn't catch that, but I was listening more to DA than Border Patrol today. Although they were both talking so much college BB that I wasn't listening closely.

Hartwell will also probably break the bank. John Clayton said he will be the most expensive LB so i'm not sure we can afford him. Also, with 16 teams supposedly interested in him, it could be a long process to get him signed.

I wanted the Chiefs to draft Hartwell in 2001. Dude is a stud and would be the perfect fit for our system. I like Trotter, but we can't afford a "maybe" status with his injuries...........

Well then it will happen then because CP knows how patient we fans are :rolleyes:

I can't argue with that. My Alma Mater sucks right now.

I can still hate Kansas though.

Yes but supposedly 16 other teams are interested in Hartwell. If he leaves here without a contract then we won't see him again.

But we will be able to afford his contract when compared to Hartwell....

Don't get me wrong, Trotter would be awesome, but it seems pretty obvious that Hartwell will get the bigger contract.

But Hartwell's contract may translate into more years with a slightly bigger signing bonus so that would equal out over the life of the contract for salary caps purposes...

If he truly wants to be a Chief, it shouldn't be an issue.

KC CAN"T use the "afford" excuse this year either. We've got 1 more shot at this thing and the FO can't worry about where we're going to be cap-wise in 3 years.

I think its pretty simple here:

If Gun wants Rolle, you find a way to get it done.

If Hartwell wants to be here, you find a way to get it done.

There is no "next year"; no "tommorrow".

I think that our chances of signing these guys drops significantly if they leave KC to visit other teams. They need to get these guys under contract TODAY and move forward from there.

Are the Chiefs folding after this season or something?

They should and they will.
