Player Years QB Tom Clements 1980 K *** ******* 1994-95 P Kelly Goodburn 1987-90 K Eddie Murray 1992 K Todd Peterson 2000-01 Ah yes. Good 'ole #2 in the Chiefs jersey lexicon. Cursed? Perhaps. Understandably, most of these #2s are kickers. Here are the NFL jersey number assignments by position , which have been in affect since 1973: Numbers 1 to 19 are worn by quarterbacks, kickers, and punters . Since 2004, wide receivers are also allowed to wear numbers between 10 and 19 if they so choose, even if there is an 80-89 number available. Numbers 20 to 49 are worn by running ... Read Full Story

The Real Deal laughs at these first round busts. Following up yesterday's discussion about who the all-time best first round pick is by the Chiefs, we now turn toward who is the worst first round pick of all time. This should be fun. I've got a bit of dilemma in getting the poll together though. It's easier to look back at the 1960s and 1970s and pick out the greatest players.  But for someone who did not grow up that era, it's pretty difficult to pick out the first round busts. Especially since draft coverage really wasn't even in vogue until the mid-1990s or ... Read Full Story

As evidence by the release of second year receiver Will Franklin more than a month ago, Scott Pioli and Todd Haley have zero tolerance for underperforming players or players brought in by Herm Edwards whom they have nothing invested in.

Eleven starts and sixteen game appearances later, I must confess I was wrong.  After the jump,  I do my best to chronicle Tyler Beckham Thigpen's days as a Kansas City Chief. The Signing On August 3rd, 2007, the Kansas City Chiefs traveled to Mankato, MN, to scrimmage the Minnesota Vikings , as they had ... Read Full Story
