It seems as if Chiefs fans are intent on carrying on in their overwhelming - and misguided - belief that Chiefs GM Carl Peterson is hell bent on saving every penny possible by waiting until the very last minute to sign the Chiefs’ high round draft picks this season. Well, I’m here to let you in on a little secret… Every team does it’s best to sign players before their respective training camp starts up. They also try really hard to get those players signed for a salary number that benefits... Read Full Story

First off, let me apologize for taking so much time off as of late. I have been extraordinarily busy with my current job and as such, I’ve been unable to write anything of substance until now. Hopefully, I’ll be posting more regularly from now on. Now you may be wondering what I’m talking about when I ask the question “Boom or Bust?” and to be honest, I don’t really have an exact answer for you on that one. What I can say is that after reading up on all the discussions and thoughts flying... Read Full Story

I am sad to say that I will be stepping away from KC Chiefs Fanatic for the next few weeks. I have recently taken on a new position at work, and as such I will not have enough time to post on a regular basis. I will try to post when I get the chance, but I’m not sure how often that will be. At any rate, I highly recommend dropping by both Arrowhead Pride and Arrowhead Addict in the interim, and I’ll be back very soon, busting out the usual top notch content, so stick around with us to enjoy...

This week, the Chiefs began a new era of football in Kansas City. As many among the Chiefs have said, it’s a new day and a new dawn at Arrowhead. Those phrases have been bounced around repeatedly this off-season around Chiefs Nation, and they sound pleasant to the ear, but what does it really mean for the average fan of the team? Will we see an much-improved ball club right from the start? Doubtful. How about a late-season playoff run? Don’t hold your breath. In my mind, those phrases mean... Read Full Story

I decided to take this past weekend off to get some much needed R & R, and man it was nice. I needed the break in a bad way. But don’t worry, I’m back for the long haul now, so you’ll be seeing a lot of content coming out here soon. Since I’ve been out of the loop for the past few days, I thought it would be good to do a quick rundown of all the information that has come down the pike in Chiefs Nation as of late. Keep checking back throughout the day, as I’ll be starting up a new series... Read Full Story

One of the biggest surprises for me in the Chiefs’ recent draft class was the selection of SS DaJuan Morgan (N.C. State). While our current starter at that spot (Bernard Pollard) obviously had some issues last season, especially in pass coverage, I was a bit shocked that the Chiefs front office would choose to go after a player in that position, especially given the Chiefs definite need at several other spots and the youth already present in the aforementioned Pollard and his running mate...

Things have finally returned to normal for me, so I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to throw down all the content I’ve been promising as of late at some point today. For now, hit up the top three stories to hit the street out of KC while I grab some coffee and nourishment to start the day. Mmmm… coffee! Another Running Back? The Chiefs are really adamant about creating as much competition as they can during this summer’s training camp - evidently they’re planning on signing undrafted free agent... Read Full Story

In what is easily the most ridiculous bit of news I’ve heard in a long time, the Cincinnati Bengals blog (StripeHype) for our friends Zach and Adam’s Fan-Sided Blog Network has been threatened with a lawsuit by the team and the NFL itself for copyright violation and trademark infringement. Evidently, it is the team’s and the league’s contention that the images used in the design of the site and in posts violates federal copyright law. Obviously this is an issue that all bloggers can relate to... Read Full Story

The sentiments of the title reflect my own in more ways than one after watching the Chiefs select TE Brad Cottam with their second pick in the third round of the NFL Draft last week. In fact, I think my exact words went something like this: “A tight end? Are you serious? What the heck are the Chiefs thinking taking a tight end here?” After making close to 500 or so mock drafts during the time leading up to the draft, I had a pretty good idea that Brad Cottam would be available in round 3. And... Read Full Story
