The case was filed by the Chiefs back on December 2nd against the Lions, seemingly stemming from comments that former Chiefs defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham had made after he was hired by the Detroit Lions following the 2009 season.
Here are those comments: "(Kansas City) keeps wanting to dump their players. I would like to be there to catch a lot of them because I know a couple of those guys."

This has been widely reported as referring to former Chiefs safety Jarrad Page, who is now in New England.
So, what do the Chiefs get?
The swapping of fifth-round picks with the Lions and the satisfaction that Detroit completely loses their seventh-round pick.
So, not much.
Both teams can appeal this decision to the NFL, so it wouldn't surprise me if the Chiefs do in hope of getting a little bit better of a compensation than just the swapping of fifth-round picks. It was tampering after all.
But, even if it's not changed, and we are stuck with the decision, I guess it's better than nothing. Which makes it one of the better things Gunther Cunningham was able to do for the Chiefs in his career.
