Wow.

I don't know which is bigger - the fact that 16 teams called, or that it sounds like he might actually WANT to come here.

According to 810 this moring, Hartwell's agent said yesterday that Eddie wants to be a Chief and his agent also wants him to sign here. That's why they came to KC first.

Bob Fescoe said that he spoke to Hartwell's agent directly yesterday.


They also mentioned that their "inside sources" in Arrowhead have said the ESPN report regarding the Chiefs signing Trotter are premature. Looks like the reports from the Philly Inquirer this morning would back that info up.
