Way to sit around Clark

Now, teams could initially say no. Then the team requesting the interview has to go to arbitration in front of the comissioner. And, the Pats no they would lose in the case of Cleveland.

Now, with the Chiefs, it is a little more sticky. It is NOT a clear cut promotion because the Chiefs are not giving Pioli power over everything. They have split CP's job into two parts, so it isn't a clear cut promotion.

Now, Clark is supposedly close to Kraft's son, so they MAY let Pioli go as a professional courtesy, but doubtful.

IF the Pats say no, the Chiefs could take it to arbitration and 'may' win. But, if not, they have wasted time, and even if they win, Pioli could say 'no thanks'... again, wasting time.

Now, to bottom line this thing. Teams don't just say no at all times, because the commissioner can take away draft picks for saying no when it is a clear cut promotion.

Hopefully, that clears it all up.
