Chiefs Update

With NFL happenings few and far between, there hasn't been much to talk about. But, although it's not big news, there's still news out there, so check out some of these links.

The Chiefs were awarded a sixth round compensatory pick by the NFL. It's the 199th pick in the draft (the same number that Tom Brady was taken at but don't expect lightning to strike twice). This brings the Chiefs total number of picks to eight. 

NFL workouts would have began already if it wasn't for the lockout. But because of the owners and players disagreement, these workouts are now not a guarantee. 

Because of the lack of team workouts and players being able to interact with coaches during this lockout, many questions of Matt Cassel's continued progression have arisen. Coach Haley addressed the importance of Cassel's progression at the NFL owners meeting last Tuesday. Then Matt Williamson and Bill Williamson from ESPN both addressed the concern as well. Matt Williamson's article on if Cassel is the guy for KC is definitely the most interesting, but here's Bill's article as well.

Former Chiefs head coach, Marty Schottenheimer, has come out of retirement to coach football. No, not in the NFL, but in the only football we'll be able to watch next fall: the United Football League. Marty is becoming coach and general manager of the Virginia Destroyers.
