More Chiefs Cuts To Come Following Tonights Game

Tonight’s preseason game between the Chiefs and the Rams might not mean anything as far as the team’s records are concerned.  But it means the world to many players, who are hanging onto their jobs by a thread.  The Chiefs cut their roster to 75 men earlier in the week, but they have to slash […]

No Big Surprises In Chiefs First Cuts

With less than two-weeks to go before the season opener, the Chiefs had to trim the roster to 75 yesterday.  There were no real surprises.  Wide receiver Rod Gardner’s contract was terminated.  Among the other nine players released were offensive lineman Kevin Sampson.  In his three-years as a Chief, he started seven games.  Last year’s […]

Will Chiefs Rush Out LJ Thursday Night?

Even though it’s just for fun, it should be a hot game between the Chiefs and Rams on Thursday night.  It’s the last preseason game for the Chiefs, who are mulling over whether to let Larry Johnson play.  The running back, who held out of camp until just last week, thinks he could help improve […]

Chiefs Pounded by Saints 30-7

The Chiefs were looking for their first preseason victory last night.  It appears they’ll need to look somewhere else, some other time.  The defense gave up an awful lot of yardage in a 30-7 drubbing at the hands of the New Orleans Saints.  Brodie Croyle started as quarterback, going 5-of-17 for 45 yards.  Jared Allen […]

Thomas Considered for Hall

Retired Chiefs defensive back Emmitt Thomas will be on the ballot next year for the Football Hall of Fame.  The Seniors Committee selected him yesterday.  He would be the sixth Chief to be inducted.  Thomas is the team’s all-time leader as far as interceptions go, with 58.  That makes him the ninth all-time in the […]

Chiefs Meet Saints Tonight at Arrowhead

The New Orleans Saints are — unfortunately — rather familiar with bad weather, after what happened to their city two-years-ago.  And forecasters say things might get a bit stormy for kick-off tonight, as the 1-and-2 Saints meet the 0-and-2 Chiefs at Arrowhead.  The outlook is calling for temperatures around 90-degrees and a heat index over […]

Chiefs Break Ground for Renovations

Bigger concourses.  More concessions, lounges, and rest rooms.  Audio and video upgrades.  These are just some of the improvements coming to fans at Arrowhead.  Ground was broken yesterday for the 375-million-dollar stadium renovation.  Members of Lamar Hunt’s family were on hand, along with the new facility’s designers and builders, local and state officials, and head […]

Opening Day not a For Sure for Larry Johnson

Larry Johnson is talking now that he and KC have a deal in place, as the franchise back talked at Chiefs camp Wednesday and to some observers surprise, stated he might not be totally ready to run the rock a lot on opening day.  “Obviously, coaches are going to do a great job trying to […]

Chiefs and Johnson Agree to 5-Year Deal

The Chiefs and Larry Johnson are finally getting along. After a couple of back and forth weeks of bickering, the two sides have come to terms on a new 6-year deal worth $45 million. Johnson was absent from Chiefs camp since it kicked off, and went back and forth with the club about […]
