Now that I think of it, Haley's in for a big sweat bath too. I guarantee you River Falls is nothing like the nice, cool mountains of Flagstaff!

"Hard Knocks" picked the wrong year to go to Chiefs' camp.

As fun as it would be for us, that show is a CURSE.

Indeed.
I think it'd be much more dramatic this year with the Gonzalez-Waters-Johnson situation, the ushering in of a new regime, and a fiery new HC.

1 yr- $2M
 
The Chiefs have added yet another piece to their rebuilding roster.

Kansas City has agreed to a 1-year, $2 million deal with veteran linebacker Zach Thomas, a source told FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez. The deal will be signed Monday or Tuesday, according to the source.

Thomas joins former New England Patriot Mike Vrabel in the Chiefs' revamped linebacking corps. Vrabel came to Kansas City in the trade that also brought quarterback Matt Cassel.

With the Chiefs planning to utilize a 3-4 defense this season, Thomas will likely be a defensive starter, said the Kansas City Star — which first reported the deal late Saturday.

Thomas, who will be 36 when the season starts, has been to seven Pro Bowls in his 13 seasons in the NFL, most recently in 2006. He was a fifth-round draft pick by the Dolphins in 1996 and played in Miami through 2007. He played for the Dallas Cowboys in 2008.

More than the minimum, but I think it'll be worth it.

Hell I'd mow the grass and iron the jerseys for 500K!

We now have a couple of D coordinators on the field on any given time in Vrabel and Thomas.

He can tackle which is more than 95% of the assclowns currently playing defense for KC.

Yep, and he's not scared of contact, which is more than DJ can say as well.

Hali - backup OLB/3rd down pass rush specialist
Johnston - backup OLB
Edwards - backup nose tackle?
Pollard - bust

What are you going to do with Glen Dorsey?

But that's cool. Haley could find 22 homeless guys on the street and win more than 2 games in this league.

That was the real long, drawn out rebuild with the emphasis on youth. Went by fast, didn't it?
