Guys,
You're all missing the possibility that the Jets have fabricated this whole story and are purposefully leaking this to the NY press.
Why? Because they are trying to scare some OTHER team into giving up draft choices to get Herm. Think about it, oh the Chiefs are about to get Herm, better pony up some draft picks now or you'll lose out.
My instinct tells me this is what's going on. The other likely scenario is we really ARE interested in Herm, but the Jets are again leaking it for the same reason: trying to get another bidder into the game to up the price.
The bottom line isn't to "pressure KC", these stories are appearing to start a bidding war. KC isn't the target. The real target of these rumor is the rest of the league. I just don't think Herm is such a hot property that such an event is going to happen.
