Pioli in Denver? Why?

[Hammock Parties]

http://www.jocklife.net/news/nfl/scott-pioli-denver-%E2%80%93-lj-and-cassel-cutler-and-scheffler-21185

According to an undisclosed source, new General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs, Scott Pioli, was in Denver, CO yesterday.

Implications abound as to why Pioli would have been in the Mile High City. Was he just stopping by on his way back to Kansas City from the league meetings that took place in Dana Point, CA to say hi to an old colleague of his in Josh McDaniels? Was he just refueling the team’s private jet and had some time to kill with a lunch?

Regardless, Pioli was in Denver for an extended amount of time yesterday. The extended amount of time was enough for him to land at Centennial Airport and venture off the tarmac. The airport is a stones throw away from the Denver Broncos headquarters at Dove Valley in Englewood, CO. Correct information on whether Pioli's plane did indeed land at Centennial are not clear at this time.

Pioli would have definitely had enough time to make a visit with McDaniels if indeed that was his reason for landing in Colorado. There is no doubt that McDaniels, at this point, could use Matt Cassel more than ever. With the ongoing feud between him and current starting quarterback for the Broncos, Jay Cutler, McDaniels should be and probably is, looking for a way to still get the guy he wants, Cassel.

The Chiefs have an unhappy running back in Larry Johnson that would love to get out of Kansas City. The Broncos have an unhappy quarterback in Jay Cutler that would love to get out of Denver. The Chiefs have a quarterback that the Broncos covet and the Broncos have a quarterback that the Chiefs would love to have in the fold. The Broncos also have a very under documented case of an unhappy tight end in Tony Scheffler. The Chiefs are looking for a capable heir to Tony Gonzalez and Scheffler is an athletic, good sized solution to that dilemma.

Again, this is all speculation but the pieces do match-up and McDaniels would still get his guy. The Broncos can’t be on the short end of the stick if they do indeed decide to trade Cutler and the Chiefs-Broncos solution would be a win-win for both sides.

[Thig Lyfe]

Oh no! Pioli's bolting to the Broncos!

[booger]

shanahan. Duh.

[Delano]

We'll need to run this by StanleyChief.

[Hammock Parties]

shanahan. Duh.

The deal is done! Shanahan has caved to Pioli's mighty negotiating tactic of hiring Todd Haley, who will soon be demoted!

[Direckshun]

Something big could be in the works here...

What's your suspicion, Claythan?

[the Talking Can]

maybe because there is an airport in denver

just a wild guess...now pay me

[booger]

The deal is done! Shanahan has caved to Pioli's mighty negotiating tactic of hiring Todd Haley, who will soon be demoted!

Is that what Jack Harry told you guys?

[TinyEvel]

I would take Cassel over cuntler ANY DAY.

[DeezNutz]

I can't believe Pioli is on vacation at this crucial point in the off-season.

[Direckshun]

Denver gets:

Matt Cassell
Larry Johnson
Tony Gonzalez

Chiefs get:

Jay Cutler
Tony Sheffler
Denver's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and all of their picks.
Forever.

[booger]

Fine but Cutler can't wear #6. That's Bubby Brister's number

["Bob" Dobbs]

I can't believe there's not an outcry about the possibility of Tony Gonzalez going to the FUCKING BRONCOS! No. Fucking. Way.

[Hammock Parties]

It's just some blogtard speculating.

The real news is that Pioli was in Denver for some reason.

[RustShack]

I would take Cassel over cuntler ANY DAY.

No way.

["Bob" Dobbs]

It's just some blogtard speculating.

The real news is that Pioli was in Denver for some reason.I know, but the mere thought made me throw up in my mouth a little.

[KcKing]

Denver gets: Cassel, LJ
KC gets: Cutler, Denver's 1


Detroit gets: Cutler, TG
KC gets: #1 overall


Chiefs Round 1 Mock: Stafford, Curry, DHB....


**shrug** Just playin along...

Fuck Jay Cutler. In the ass. With a Pixie Stick.

[Rain Man]

The Broncos don't have anything we would want.

The Broncos don't have anything we would want.

THIS

[Kyle DeLexus]

The Broncos don't have anything we would want.

They have draft picks.

[whoman69]

Has anyone checked with the realtors there to see if Pioli bought a house there?

[DaFace]

THE DEAL IS DONE!

[bishop_74]

I would take Cassel over ****ler ANY DAY.

Cutler is like Green... but before he stopped throwing 2-3 int's a game.

[SAUTO]

THE DEAL IS DONE!

did he come to see you daface?

[RustShack]

I like the one with the Redskins where we get two first round picks... especially if Stafford is at 3.

[KcFanInGA]

Well, at least I'm not bored this offseason.

[Hoover]

I'm nervous that we have not yet signed Cassel to a long term deal yet.

[Mr. Krab]

The Broncos don't have anything we would want.
Wanna bet?

Denver loses - Cutler, 1st round pick
Denver gets - Matt Cassel, Clinton Portis

Washington loses - Clinton portis, 1st round pick
Washington gets - Cutler, larry Johnson

Kansas city loses - Cassel,Larry Johnson
Kansas City gets - two 1st round draft picks (12th,13th)

The trade would happen when KC is on the clock IF Detroit passes on Matt Stafford.

[Frazod]

They have draft picks.

Broncos deal Cutler for a first, then trade their first and that first to us for the 3 spot, so they can get Sanchez or Stafford.

I've speculated this before. Seems reasonable. I'd take two first rounders.

[SBK]

I really dislike the idea of trading with the Donks.

Well, let me rephrase, I'd throw LJ at them for some retarded amount of picks, but that's about it. Basically if they'd do a franchise killing trade I'd entertain it.

[RustShack]

Getting two first round picks out of LJ and Cassel who obviously aren't worth that would be awesome!

[Smed1065]

2 first rounds picks and our HC can be gone!

:evil:

[Hammock Parties]

Anyone know if the KC plane was in Denver?

[T-post Tom]

Pioli is there to have the tumor removed from his spine. Jack Harry told me.

[wild1]

it's a blogger.

[Ultra Peanut]

He's obviously setting up a blockbuster trade. Cassel for LaMont Jordan and Darrell Hackney.

[wild1]

really, if these harebrained scenarios being laid out come to pass where Pioli turns a second round pick into two first round picks came to pass... ok. but it's not gonna happen.

[KCrockaholic]

I would take Cassel over ****ler ANY DAY.

Me too...atleast Cassel isnt a cry-baby B****

[kcsam07]

again guys imo cassell isnt going anywhere

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

No way.

Rust. WHY? For the love of GOD, enlighten me on why Jay Cutler, who hasn't won shit, and who has a piss-poor BABY's attitude( no, not a competitors attitude and you damn well know it )is the SAVIOR of the Chiefs or any other franchise stupid enough to take him on?

Wanna bet?

Denver loses - Cutler, 1st round pick

I like the scenario( minus being snobby about Sanchez who IS IN FACT the better guy as it stands TODAY ), but unless Haley and Cassel are Academy Nominated Actors of the highest pedigree; I don't see this deal/trade happening.

Heavy snow hits Denver, flights canceled
Blizzard warning for east half of Colorado; city could see 15 inches

March 26: A major snowstorm hit the Colorado-Wyoming border Thursday, adding to the foot of snow already on the ground as high winds created blizzard conditions for most of the day. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
updated 5:48 p.m. MT, Thurs., March. 26, 2009


A major spring snowstorm dumped at least a foot of snow across the Colorado-Wyoming state line on Thursday, canceling hundreds of flights, shutting down schools and making roads treacherous.

Authorities reported at least nine people were treated for injuries from three pileups involving about 50 vehicles on Interstate 25 just south of the state line. They initially reported at least 33 were injured, but later said about two dozen people taken to a hospital turned out to be uninjured or refused treatment.

The crashes led Colorado officials to close more than 40 miles of the road south of Cheyenne and a 45-mile stretch between Pueblo and Walsenburg. The highway is the main north-south thoroughfare in Colorado.

Aaron Fowler, chief of Laramie County Fire District 1 in Wyoming, said many other vehicles also slid off the road while trying to avoid the wrecks.

"Visibility when I arrived on the scene was, I would say, 100 yards — very high winds and blizzard conditions," Fowler said.

Winds were gusting to nearly 40 mph in Denver, about 100 miles south of Cheyenne. The Regional Transportation District, the Denver-area mass-transit service, pulled its buses off the roads in Longmont, Colo., 30 miles north of Denver because of whiteout conditions.

"I saw three flipped cars," said Zachary Whitaker, who spent four hours driving his grandmother to the Denver airport from Gering, Neb. "Five more run off the road. Cars in ditches all over."

The Red Cross opened six shelters for stranded motorists.

Blizzard warning remains
The state's eastern half remained under a blizzard warning Thursday while Denver and most of the state was under a winter storm warning. Gov. Bill Ritter declared a state of emergency and activated the National Guard, though its mission was not immediately disclosed.

Forecasters predicted up to 2 feet of snow south and east of Denver by Friday and up to 15 inches in the city itself. More than a foot of snow was expected in the foothills west of Denver.

At Denver International Airport, Frontier Airlines canceled 54 flights and its Lynx commuter affiliate canceled 33, spokesman Steve Snyder said. Southwest Airlines canceled at least 82 flights and American Airlines canceled 26.

[Mile High Mania]

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" I couldn't continue to support the Broncos if that happened...

[Danman]

Rrelax Claythan, I'm sure Pioli just wanted to take a sh*t on the city of Denver and remind Josh that he owns him.

[Manila-Chief]

Why all this speculation? I believe Pioli/Haley already have their QB and that they prefer Matt over Cutler. Their mode of operation is for guys with character. Demanding a trade doesn't speak to their kind of character.

Now, my preferance ... if their evaluation says Stafford/Shanchez is "can't miss" guy, and they could get a couple of 1st. picks I'd like the deal. They are still a developing team and have time for a young QB to mature ... and Stafford/Sanchez will have more years in the NFL.

Oh, it just hit me ... if Haley has determined that Thigpen is the "real deal" ... they have questions regarding Cassel (this is not true) ... then they could get 2 first round picks in a 3 way trade.

But, they have their guy and in spite of talking about open competition ... Matt will be the starting QB.

Pioli was on personal business.

Thissy this this.

[jAZ]

...the Broncos have a quarterback that the Chiefs would love to have in the fold...
Really?

[Chiefnj2]

Silly speculation since everybody was already in the same city for the league meetings.

[jettio]

Pioli stopped in Colorado to hunt jackalope. There is a small herd near the airport there and you can hunt them from the tarmac if the adjoining field is baited with organic vegetables.

[Simply Red]

OMG, The Chief's Jet was there?!

[Manila-Chief]

Silly speculation since everybody was already in the same city for the league meetings.

Yes!!!

[bdeg]

the deal is thigpen and larry for their first rounder

it's all over wpi

[jAZ]

True.

[CoMoChief]

I can't believe there's not an outcry about the possibility of Tony Gonzalez going to the ****ING BRONCOS! No. ****ing. Way.

Tony said he wants to go somewhere where he has a chance to win. Im not worried at all.

[BigChiefFan]

Yes, let's trade a character QB for a whiny douche-bag. That'll get us over the hump.

[ct]

This thread might have the homerist of homer trade dreams that I've ever seen.

2 1st round picks for Cassel and LJ? Seriously? Ridiculous...

[patteeu]

The Broncos don't have anything we would want.

Tell the truth. Did Scott Pioli stop by to hire you and DaFace to do research on the Chiefs fanbase?

[EyePod]

Scheffler is a waste. I will be very angry if we don't keep Tony here. Baltimore did the right thing and kept Ray-Ray. We need to do the right thing and keep Tony here.

[EyePod]

the deal is thigpen and larry for their first rounder

it's all over wpi

LOL. The worst part is that I think that's a good trade.... but even the Donkey's aren't stupid enough to try and take Pigpen over Cutler.... LOL at WPI though.

[Molitoth]

Ok lets see here:

The Broncos don't want LJ. They have already signed mucho RB's this offseason.
The Chiefs are NOT trading Gonzo, expecially to the Broncos. Tony G knows the Broncos are no where near a Super Bowl run.

The only thing I can see is us trading Cassel for Cutler.

I'm fine with that as long as Cutler WANTS to be a Chief and doesn't throw a temper tantum.

[Bill Lundberg]

Ok Gang....

It was recently reported that Cowher was in Denver trying to buy Shanahan's home. Some said the Deal was done, but at the last minute Shanahan refused to pay Cowher's closing costs. Pioli was there trying to talk Cowher into becoming our head coach and Shanahan into becoming our OC. THE DEAL IS DONE

[Alton deFlat]

Well hell, he probably just stopped off for a can of Coors.

[chop]

It doesn't surprise me that a member of the WPI crew posted garbage like this. This is where they get their premium information.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Haha actually this is a great move on Pioli's part. Even if he didn't talk to the donks at all, the media will run with it and cutler will get all butthurt...again.

[bdeg]

LMAO it really couldn't hurt to instill a little more fear into Jay, if this is truly about feelings and not a contract

[Kyle DeLexus]

Pretty sure it's about a contract, but it never hurts to add more fuel to the fire.

[vailpass]

Maybe Pioli just wanted to get out of KC for a while. That isn't hard to understand.

[bdeg]

He wants a bigger contract, and he's been looking for an excuse ever since they let his favorite coaches go

[KC Jones]

He asked me to keep it secret, but Scott found the planet and immediately knew we were his type of people. He's been flying around the country to visit in person and have drinks with us out of towners. He's planning a big bash for you KC posters in August.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Yes, sir. I find this to be accurate.

[Frankie]

Our GM and their HC are friends. To quote Bogart, "I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship....."

.....between the Chiefs and the Donks!........ YIKES!!!! :eek:

[htismaqe]

Maybe Pioli just wanted to get out of KC for a while. That isn't hard to understand.

If that were the case, he might hit Miami or LA.

He's certainly not going to go to the armpit of the earth.

[bluehawkdoc]

Obviously Pioli was dropping by McDaniels' house to deposit a bloody horse's head in his bed. Now, the DEAL is DONE, the message is sent.

you know the guy in the skirt is going to get ****ed

I mean look at these guys,

it may as well be prison

[Coogs]

My guess is they are talking about this scenario...

If Stafford is still on the board at #3, the Broncos will send Cutler to the Jets for their #17 pick and whatever else it takes for the Jets to get him.

The Broncos will then trade pick #12 (1200 points) and pick #17 (950 points) to the Chiefs for pick #3 (2200 points).

If this all goes down, and one of the top LT's is still on the board at #12, Philadelphia will call Pioli, and offer #21 (800 points) and #28 (660 points) to the Chiefs for pick #12 (1200 points) and LJ.

The Chiefs will then select...

#17 Rey Maualuga LB USC
#21 Percey Harvin WR Florida or Darrius Heyward-Bey WR Maryland
#28 Knowshon Mereno RB Georgia or Donald Brown RB UConn

And now you know... The Rest of the Story! ;)

I despise that draft.

Rey's a big question mark, but that's good value for him.

If the coaches think DHB will live up to potential he's the guy. Percy has a lot of ?'s and never lived up to his potential, look at his yearly yards.

And at 28 give me Connor Barwin, definitely not a RB.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I like the one with the Redskins where we get two first round picks... especially if Stafford is at 3.

you mean the three way trade where Cutler goes to Washington ,Campbell goes to Denver and KC gets each of their 1st round picks.

[Pioli Zombie]

This would a great trade all the way around. Jets get Cutler. Denver gets stafford. Chiefs get #12 and #17. Let's do it.

[Jethopper]

we are not going to collect another first rounder

[tboss27]

we are not going to collect another first rounder

If the donks really don't think they can please Cutler (and let's be honest, who really can) I wouldn't rule it out. Unlikely, but I gotta think if Denver can't make it work w/ their current QB they are gonna want to trade up to get Stafford/Sanchez. It's already been a friggin awesome off-season, this would be the cherry on top.

Very creative. Nicely done.

[RustShack]

Uhh... no team would do that. Why would the Chiefs even be involved in that trade? The Broncos aren't going to give up a first and Cutler for Campbell, and the Redskins aren't going to give up a first and Campbell for Cutler. I really don't get why they would send their first round picks to us when we wouldn't even be giving anything up.

I believe the trade would be-

Redskins get Cutler, LJ
Broncos get Cassell, Portis
Chiefs get two first round picks.

Ehhh.....I'd rather go:

#17 - Chris Wells RB Ohio State
#21 - Clint Sintim OLB/DE Virginia
#28 - Alex Mack C Cal

[Coogs]

Ehhh.....I'd rather go:

#17 - Chris Wells RB Ohio State
#21 - Clint Sintim OLB/DE Virginia
#28 - Alex Mack C Cal

That's fine! Put an any players you want. There are many good combinations there at those picks which would help the team.

In fact, #21 could maybe be traded for an early 2nd and 3rd rounder, and we could pick up an extra player in the top 70 as well. Lots of posibilities could happen if we could get into this type of scenario with 3 early picks. Maybe even move one of them for another 1st rounder in next years draft which might be a good thing as well.

[Halfcan]

I would take Cassel over ****ler ANY DAY.

yep stick with what we have-unless they want to throw in their 1st round and take Jailbird LJ off our hands.

I keep seeing this portis to Denver stuff. That is not going to happen. Portis was traded to the Skins because he wanted more money.
