Todd Haley gets the boot

In one way I'm shocked because Kansas City actually have a good team. If your number one TE, RB, S, QB and probably a bunch of other guys go down, it's no wonder your team sucks so badly this year. Yet on the other hand, Haley had some pretty intense moments with Cassel on the sidelines, and something intense probably happened behind doors that led to his firing.

For any coach wanting to come in the NFL, Kansas City isn't that bad a place to hook up with when healthy. Again, they have a top 10 RB, a top 10 TE if I say so myself, a top ball-hawking safety, and a doable QB. A couple of draft pick ups, a good FA, and you're in business.

In 2 years, Scott Pioli will have built a very solid team.

People are still up in the air about Cassel but they have some great talent there: Derrick Johnson, Eric Berry, Charles, Breaston, Bowe, Flowers, etc.

In contrast...Caldwell still has a job.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      I would rather trade for Ramsey. Alexander was great but man his injuries have been on par with Horns in the last couple years.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.
