At this point it's hard to say. We haven't really missed on anybody except Trotter and he was a long-shot to begin with. But we haven't signed anybody yet either. Still waiting on Rolle, Hartwell, and Bell. My money is on Carl ****ing it up again, but who knows.

Well, personally I'm not ready to give up till the first week is over, but I'd REALLY like to see us have a kickass FA by Monday...the waiting is killing me, but I still think they are doing some positive things...this is a business that none of us know anything about, as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, the history is not much to go off of to make me feel better either, so...

Carl's just dicking around until someone else signs the high dollar FA's then he will try to sign somebody on the cheap. He doesn't want a Super Bowl, he wants full seats at the cheapest possible cost.

The problems and frustration comes from the fact that the need for quality defensive players was immense. By not having a single player signed by Saturday night, it reinforces the reasons why the Chiefs have not won a Superbowl in over 30 years or a playoff game in several. The owners and management are simply too cheap.

the positive minded person would say:
we've looked at 5 or 6 players ... we wanted Trotter but he was just using us for leverage and then went back to philly. the other 2 guys that we are really interested in are still in the works. we are working on trying to get samari Rolle's contract down low enough so that we can also reach LB Ed Hartwell's demands.... because we really want to sign both. if we can work the deal a little more and free up some more money we will sign Samari Rolle and Ed Hartwell in a few days. the pessimistic minded person would say: all this bullchit is just another charade to keep up the illusions that we are really working on signing guys ... Just like the huge FA parade in 1997. But in reality we are really just too cheap and after all these high profile guys clear out we will settle for for a couple punk free agents and the front office will just say "we tried, but we can't force guys to sign here"

Jason Whitlock, a local sports talk and sportswriting celebrity, organized a protest called the No Salary Limit Soldier March to put pressure on Carl Peterson to sign big name free agents. Carl Peterson was so frightened by the prospects of a citizen march on his high-rise condo on the Plaza that he scheduled several top FA's for visits on the first day of free agency just in case he had to sign a fat contract or two to pacify the mob. At the same time, Peterson used his leverage with the corporate bigwigs at Entercom Corp. to have Whitlock undermined to the point that Whitlock resigned from 610AM the day before his big rally. The rally subsequently failed to generate any publicity whatsoever and Carl Peterson felt comfortable telling all the high profile free agents to get the f*** out of town. They left and now Carl is laughing at all the little people while he lights a cigar with cash from someone's season ticket purchase.
Rumor has it that he forced you out at your radio station and made it look like a resignation too.
