Poe's slot has been set for about a month now. Any word in KC on what the hold up is?

[DeezNutz]

No Poe.

[O.city]

Just wondering about this the other day.



Anybody?

[Hammock Parties]

A giant fail if our fatass is not signed in time.

He needs every second of development he can get.

[BossChief]

Should I stay or should I Poe?

[Rasputin]

Powe is going be at camp and ready to play.

[Deberg_1990]

Edgar Allen wrote some great stuff.

[RealSNR]

Nevermore.

[Rasputin]

Nevermore.

Quoted the Raven

[Chief Roundup]

Think from what I have heard the teams are trying to get some wording put into contracts that if they cut a player and that player signs with another team they can get some of the guaranteed money back.

[Hammock Parties]

Powe is going be at camp and ready to play.

summer camp?

[Rasputin]

summer camp?

Powe is going be at TC on time and ready to go. Chiefs training camp, Powe will be there mark my words.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Strike 41,326 against Pioli.

[BigMeatballDave]

Powe is going be at TC on time and ready to go. Chiefs training camp, Powe will be there mark my words.

Poe or Powe?

[stonedstooge]

Pioli trying to bluff him to take a few dollars less?

[Ace Gunner]

Until he signs, he be Poe.

[O.city]

Don't understand how they can be that far off when everyone slotted around him has been signed basically.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Poe or Powe?

Surprised it took that long.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Pioli trying to bluff him to take a few dollars less?

Can't help it if a player doesn't want to sign with a small market team like KC. /Pioliballwashers

[Chief Roundup]

Don't understand how they can be that far off when everyone slotted around him has been signed basically.

From my understanding it isn't about the money. It is about the guaranteed money if the player is released and then signed by another team. The teams are wanting to be able to get some of that guaranteed money back. I don't think the teams invisioned that all of these contracts were basicly going to be all guarnateed dollars.

The teams are wanting to be able to get some of that guaranteed money back. I don't think the teams invisioned that all of these contracts were basicly going to be all guarnateed dollars.

If you are that worried about cutting your first round draft pick, maybe don't draft him?

Is that an indication of how much faith Pioli has in his 1st round pick?

[Chief Roundup]

If you are that worried about cutting your first round draft pick, maybe don't draft him?

Yeah I understand that but I think we all understand that drafting any player is risky so they are just trying to protect their investment if it all has to be guaranteed.

[Chief Roundup]

Is that an indication of how much faith Pioli has in his 1st round pick?

When I first heard of teams wanting these stipulations put into these rookie contracts there were several 1st rounders that had not signed yet.

[Crush]

He's too busy slipping Goodell the tongue.

[-King-]

He's supposed to be signing Tuesday or Wednesday from what I heard.

[Molitoth]

4 years, 11 million.


wow, that was hard.

[Baby Lee]

Should I stay or should I Poe?

It's vitally important that one Dontari getting to Training Camp.

[BossChief]

He is Probably already signed, but the pr director wants to wait till the last minute to release the info. "praise Pioli"

[Bump]

A giant fail if our fatass is not signed in time.

He needs every second of development he can get.



http://i.imgur.com/8Fctn.jpg

was just about to say that.

Say goodbye to his rookie season if he misses camp cause he ain't gonna do shit

[BigMeatballDave]

Weeden is still unsigned.

That's odd.

[BigMeatballDave]

4 years, 11 million.


wow, that was hard.

Probably a little more to it than that.

[MMXcalibur]

No money, Poe problems.

[thabear04]

Please dont let Poe holdout like jamarcus russell or Michael Crabtree

[NJChiefsFan]

No money, Poe problems.

The winner so far.

[BigMeatballDave]

2 more days.

[Easy 6]

Weeden is still unsigned.

That's odd.

Good ol cleveland demonstrating their firm resolve to rise from the ashes...

Any HC who's been with them recently should get a mulligan, just wash that wasted time off their record.

[Rasputin]

Poe or Powe?

I only know of one Powe that plays for the Chiefs.

[jspchief]

Cue excuse #1 for our first round bust:

"he got a late start on his rookie season!"

[Chiefnj2]

Weeden is still unsigned.

That's odd.

Richardson signed yesterday, they expect Weeden to sign today.

[Steron]

Quoted the Raven

Quoth

[Micjones]

This'll be done in a few days.

[the Talking Can]

not signing bowe will allow us to sign poe

[Brock]

Word is he wants to be paid like the 11th overall pick, the greedy bastard.

[Chiefnj2]

Poe's jeweler is getting nervous.

[DeezNutz]

I'm willing to go 10.57, but 11 guaranteed is simply too much. Can't make a habit of overpaying players.

[BigMeatballDave]

I'm willing to go 10.57, but 11 guaranteed is simply too much. Can't make a habit of overpaying players.

Be nice.

Its Clark's money.

He's got a soccer team to worry about...

[the Talking Can]

I'm willing to go 10.57, but 11 guaranteed is simply too much. Can't make a habit of overpaying players.

I'm just waiting to call Clark 'Dan Snyder' on twitter...the franchise will never recover

[DeezNutz]

I'm just waiting to call Clark 'Dan Snyder' on twitter...the franchise will never recover

Oh, so you think cap hell is funny?

[Marcellus]

Amazing all the concern about such a consensus horrible pick not being signed 3 days before camp begins.

[The Franchise]

Weeden is still unsigned.

That's odd.

Rumor is that Weeden wants a 5 year contract.....not the typical 4 year with an option for a 5th.

[Sofa King]

Amazing all the concern about such a consensus horrible pick not being signed 3 days before camp begins.

Obviously since he was such a shitty pick he needs all the help he can get so we need him to attend all the workouts.

Duh.

[DeezNutz]

Amazing all the concern about such a consensus horrible pick not being signed 3 days before camp begins.

Cool. Let's not sign him. Who cares? Get in late, provide more excuses for Pioli and the player.

[Setsuna]

Amazing all the concern about such a consensus horrible pick not being signed 3 days before camp begins.

A consensus on draft day. Everyone has since simmered down. Don't try to instigate loser.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Amazing all the concern about such a consensus horrible pick not being signed 3 days before camp begins.

They could see in his eyes of the youtube vid they watched he was trouble.

[Katie]

Well, if offset language is such a problem, how have other draft picks resolved the issue?

[RealSNR]

No worries, guys. Poe plays for free because he wants to be there.

[Lzen]

I feel confident that Poe will be at camp on time. Things should start to fall into place real soon.

[Chiefnj2]

Rumor is that Weeden wants a 5 year contract.....not the typical 4 year with an option for a 5th.

At his age he isn't getting a 2nd deal.

[Mr. Laz]

why in the hell should he be signed?


let's be honest ... Poe has gotten insurance or whatever and is showing up for every workout. Why should the Chiefs sign him early when they aren't losing anything by him not signing.

They also might gain something by waiting.

If he gets injured? If he gives in on the language of the contract?

everything to gain and nothing to lose


I imagine he'll sign the day the team leaves for training camp.


standard contract negotiations bullshittery :shrug:

[Ace Gunner]

The best things in life are free. It's a sign:D

[the Talking Can]

the chiefs are trying to pay him by the tackle, figuring it will be cheaper...

[mr. tegu]

He is big.

By extension, why have any teams signed any of their top picks?

[Ace Gunner]

What is "Dontari" spelled backward? Could be a clue!1!

[Marcellus]

Cool. Let's not sign him. Who cares? Get in late, provide more excuses for Pioli and the player.

"Correlation does not imply causation" is a phrase used in science (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science) and statistics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistics) to emphasize that a correlation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation) between two variables does not automatically imply that one causes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality) the other (though correlation is necessary for linear causation in the absence of any third and countervailing causative variable, it can indicate possible causes or areas for further investigation; in other words, correlation is a hint).<sup id="cite_ref-Tufte_2006_5_0-0" class="reference">[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation#cite_note-Tufte_2006_5-0)</sup><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correlation_does_not_imply_causation#cite_note-1)</sup>
The opposite belief, correlation proves causation, is a logical fallacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy) by which two events that occur together are claimed to have a cause-and-effect relationship. The fallacy is also known as cum hoc ergo propter hoc (Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) for "with this, therefore because of this") and false cause. It is a common fallacy in which it is assumed that, because two things or events occur together, one must be the cause of the other. By contrast, the fallacy, post hoc ergo propter hoc (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc), requires that one event occur after the other, and so may be considered a related fallacy.

[Rasputin]

I think Powe is going play hard & be starting material as the season progresses.

[DaneMcCloud]

I think Powe is going play hard & be starting material as the season progresses.

Do you really think the 11th overall pick will be a starter this year? Isn't that a little too optimistic?

[Rasputin]

Do you really think the 11th overall pick will be a starter this year? Isn't that a little too optimistic?

No, I'm more optimistic about a 6th rounder named Powe. Am I in the wrong thread?

[Sofa King]

Do you really think the 11th overall pick will be a starter this year? Isn't that a little too optimistic?

No way man. The 6th rounder that barely saw the field last year is our NT of the future. This 11th overall bum will be placed on the practice squad or outright cut.

[TimeForWasp]

He's slotted already to make around 11 million. I wonder how much of it is just a ploy by his agent to get his name out there a little more by waiting till the last minute. unless they may be possibly talking about a 5 year contract instead of 4.
