Kansas City Chiefs head coach Todd Haley spoke to the media today at the NFL Owners meeting. Here are the highlights: On the expectations of new running back Thomas Jones: “I don’t want to set a role for Thomas. Thomas first of all came in and really blew us all away just with his attitude [...]
Over the past two weeks, former Chiefs Casey Printers and Will Franklin have signed contracts in the CFL. Former Kansas City cornerback Lenny Walls followed in their footsteps by signing with the Edmonton Eskimos.

Kansas City Chiefs GM Scott Pioli spoke with The Star’s Adam Teicher at the NFL Meetings and echoed the franchise message of competition. Specifically, he doesn’t consider Jamaal Charles the Chiefs starting running back after bringing in Thomas Jones off of a 1,400 yard season. The message, Pioli said, was not aimed at Charles so [...]
SI’s Peter King took to his MMQB column to attack the idea of taking Eric Berry (or any safety) in the top 10. In it he has a very interesting conversation between Scott Pioli and one of his former New England peers. Berry looks like a top-10 pick, but the team that takes him is [...]

Last year, Scott Pioli showed he isn’t one to ignore talent from small schools, so it should come as no surprised that the Chiefs were one of 20 teams at the William and Mary pro day. Quarterback R.J. Archer, safeties David Caldwell and Robert Livingston, defensive tackle Sean Lissemore, wide receiver D.J. McAulay, defensive end [...]
The Kansas City Chiefs — and others — have scheduled a private workout with University of Michigan punter Zoltan Mesko, according to Scout.com. Mesko will work out for the Chiefs on March 26th, the Eagles on March 30th and the Patriots on April 14th or 15th; all workouts will be conducted at the University of [...]
In an article that might just make you check the date, The Kansas City Star’s Jason Whitock thinks Scott Pioli, Todd Haley and the Chiefs are having a very good offseason.
