Cap-wise, we were always in trouble. Every year we were paying significant amounts to cut players from previous years. Once again, Shanahan?

Interesting. I haven't done enough of my own research on their drafts, but I do remember hearing us talk shit on them. I know Shanahan had some control, but how much? I know if he's hired by Clark he'll do it his way. That's the way Clark and the Hunt's have always done business. Sundquist also came out and said he interviewed for the job in 08, and would be interested in it now if it came available. He sounded like a damned Chiefs fan in a pretty shitty podcast, so he wasn't exactly lobbying to anyone that would hear him.
