Weekend mail call:*

Lincoln from Kemmerer, Wyo., wants to know if the*Kansas City Chiefs would be moved from the AFC West if a team other than the Raiders or the Chargers move to Los Angeles.*

Bill Williamson: It’s an interesting question. Something would have to happen. Now that Minnesota is getting a new stadium; the current candidates to move to L.A. are the Chargers, Raiders, Bills, Jaguars and Rams. The easiest solution, if the team that moves to L.A. isn’t in the AFC West, would be for the Rams to move to L.A. They would easily stay in the NFC West. If the Bills or the Jaguars end up out West, eventually something would have to be done and because the Chiefs are the furthest East team in the division, an eventual move from the AFC West could be a possibility. Again, it’s down the road. If that happens, it would be a shame. The Chiefs forever belong in this division.*

Christian from Greifswald, Germany, wants to know if I think the Raiders can re-sign receiver*T.J. Houshmandzadeh.*

BW: I think that ship has sailed. The only way I see it happening is if the Raiders suffer a major injury at receiver or if the team is desparate for a veteran. Houshmanzadeh gaveCarson Palmer a familiar target last year, but Palmer is now comfortable in Oakland. So, there really isn’t much need for Houshmandzadeh at this point.*

Dylan from Hoxie, Kan., wants to know if*Brandon Siler can push*Jovan Belcher for a starting linebacker job in Kansas City.*

BW: Siler suffered an Achilles injury last training camp. I like him from his San Diego days. The Chiefs like Belcher, but Siler is a pro and if he has a good training camp, he can press Belcher. At the very least, Siler will be good on special teams.

really off season

The Cowboys are still in the NFC East

If the Jags move to LA I could see them try to put them in the AFC West and KC in the AFC South with Indy, Hou , and Tenn. It makes more geographical sense but I'd be pissed not playing Oakland and Denver every year. Could care less about San Diego

If the Jags go to LA they would probably do that. God that would be horrible.

Buffalo isn't going to move to LA. That's reeruned.

But I'll play along regardless. If they were to move to LA, then they would take our place in the West. Where does KC go now? The East? That's just crazy. Only other place that would make sense would be to put us in the South. Then what? Move the Jaguars to the East, I suppose. You're shifting three teams around in divisions, and breaking up some legendary and long-standing rivalries (Miami-Buffalo and KC-Oakland/Denver).

Just move the team nobody cares about- the Jaguars. At least people in Buffalo still support the Bills.

That's true. It would also make more geographical sense to put Atlanta in the East and Dallas in the South. I'd hope they would leave shit alone and respect long term rivalries.

[NIUhuskies]

yeah its gonna be real interesting once we find out what team moves there. Since the Chiefs are the farthest east team in the division we could be the odd men out. For example, what if the Vikings move to LA, do we goto the NFC North with the Bears, Packers and Lions? Or what happens if its the Bills? Either way this could cause some problems. With the Chiefs having so much tradition in the AFC, let alone the AFC West Im not sure they could move us, but geographically im not sure how they are going to pull this off

[bevischief]

This whole article is retarted.

Moving the Chiefs has always been in play. Best for the Chiefs....Rams to LA NFC West and Jax to StL so they stay in the AFC South. The Bills are the Wildcard that really could screw things up. Then the most logical thing is Bills to NFC West, Rams to AFC South, Jags to AFC East.
Let's face it the NFL wanted the Chiefs to move to the NFC twice...Lamar said no...Clark may if the price is right.

But the team is for sale....if an out of town buyer steps up they are gone.

[milkman]

I highly doubt that there's anything about a move that has has legs.

The more interesting question is the one about Siler.

I really don't htink Siler can ever be the same player he was before the achilles injury, and frankly he wasn't anything special fully healthy.

He was a solid goal line and short yardage LB, but beyond that, he was a JAG.

Frankly, I'll be surprised if he makes the final roster.

Don't care where we end as long as we have Cassel.
