I'm all for it. It'll be interesting to see how he responds once it's official.

true ... good point.


everything was a disaster last year though

Eh.

I think he's playing for a contract.

I don't think so. I think if he were playing for a contract, he would've played for it last year when his contract was up.

His improvement is the real deal.

Have we become so jaded that at the first sign of player improvement we say someone who has always played hard and been a model citizen is merely playing for a contract?

Poppycock, I say.

It's easier to play better, when you are on the field.

let's hope so but remember ... everything was a train wreck last year. Might of been hard for anyone to show up with all the changes and crap going on.

Dumb ass DC last year too

My name is Chris Chambers ... and i approve this message.

Dan Williams

yeah, Crennel has had a big impact on a lot of players on D.

Which is great...while he's still here. I'd hate to give a bunch of players tons of cash based on this year, only to have Crennel leave and we go back to a dogshit defense.

I think Crennel is pretty happy here.

And, I know that thinking is dangerous, but I also think this ... I think that before he and Weis were hired, they probably had a long conversation with the Godfather in which they committed to staying for awhile ... long enough, at least, to right the ship. I can't imagine that Pioli would enter into a deal with those guys that was a "passing ship" kind of thing.

Julius Peppers got paid this offseason too and he's been on a tear. Way better than he was in Carolina.

This is my fear as well

Hmm he was a bust for awhile but he seemed to have a new focus once he was benched last year.

Money can do increase focus for a year as well. I really hope he continues to improve but this is one good year right before he signs a new contract in comparison to the previous 5 years that he under performed. This line of thought also explains why he was so pressed to be the starter this year. He needed to showcase his talents in order to get paid. But as I said I am with every Chiefs fan hoping that he is just a competitor that feels he should start and has learned that nothing is given in the NFL, only earned.
