Makes sense except Smith is NOTHING like Cassel. Only an idiot would think that he is...

The Raiders also traded for Carson Palmer for a 1st and a 2nd round pick when Palmer was 31 years old.

Teddy Bridgewater or nothing.

Mort just said that the Chiefs like QB Derek Carr


He used the word 'affiliated'

Be ironic to see the team pull the trigger in one of the more unlikely years.

However, it would be a wise, forward-thinking move should someone drop.

Update: Chiefs considering player at 1 of ~22 positions with 1st round pick.

Murray and Mettenberger will both be better than Bortles or Bridgewater. I dont know about Carr but ive heard he demanded his brother play on the same team thats a concern.

Appearing on ESPN's*NFL Insiders*Monday, Chris Mortensen called Fresno State QB Derek Carr "a name you hear affiliated" with the Chiefs.

It comes on the heels of NFL Network's report that the Chiefs will consider a quarterback at No. 23. Mort hinted the Chiefs could be eyeing someone like Carr in a trade down, perhaps to the second round. It's possible this is just a leverage play from the Chiefs in the Alex Smith talks, but Andy Reid has often had a second- or third-round quarterback to develop. It would be sensible behind Smith in Kansas City.

These days inside information and rumors seem more like misdirection and posturing than much else.

Well....at least i have someone to check out on youtube now.

this

Nothing more than pre-draft fluff, of course things will stall right before the draft....... lol

You don't restructure or re-sign a guy that you aren't 110% behind until after the draft. You never know who might fall through the cracks down to the 23rd pick.

Not getting my hopes up. I'll believe it when I see it

Aaron Murray can't beat good defenses.
