Interesting Chiefs News
This comes from someone who has been an incredibly reliable source on this site in the past. Take it for what's it's worth.
If Claussen falls to around the 20-25th pick the Chiefs may package their 2nd round picks to move up in the draft to take Claussen. Weiss is telling all teams that contact him about Claussen that he is the real deal. Claussen will play in the NFL for 10-15 years.
Weiss is not sold on Cassell. He feels that he may not have the mental tools to be a successful QB without better players around him. He feels that he has the physical tools, but lacks the mental discipline thats needed to play the position. Both Haley and Pioli think Cassell will work out fine.
So what is gonna happen? Weiss wants a quality backup in place behind Cassell to push him. Croyle is not that backup. Everyone at Arrrowhead knows Croyle is not a long term solution so he can't really push Cassell to excel.
Enter Brady Quinn. The Chiefs had talks with Cleveland a couple of weeks ago about a trade to KC. But, the Browns trade demands were really stupidly high so the talks went no where seriously. If the demands come down, Quinn will be a Chief.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the rest of this info is from other sources so get out that shaker of salt to take wth this information. Compiled from 4 different sources.
Supposely Buffalo talked to the Chiefs about a trade for Croyle.
Cleveland wanted the 2nd round pick plus a 5th rounder for Quinn.
KC was willing to part with a 4th-5th rounder for Quinn. Which one would depend on playing time,
Weiss and Cassell talk almost every day on the phone and in person. Long talks.
Nothing new with the Bowe wants a new contract before the OTA's situation. But, the Chiefs have put out trade feelers to gauge interest in Bowe but most were 4th-5th rounders.
