Mr EV 3-2-1 ..

I'm glad he's not negotiating through the media. The media seems like they are pushing the matter. It's a slow news period.

I used to listen to Petro all the the time before his time slot got changed and I always like hearing what Chadiha has to say. His opinion carries water in my book. I certainly hope CJ wasn't playing dirty Pool. That being said this all could be a stalling game for CJ to miss Training camp in this heat so until he starts missing Regular Season games I'm not overly worried. He's giving others much needed reps but I dont think he is doing himself any favors in regards to fan base love OR more importantly just getting in game shape. My Super Bowl hopes for this year goes waaaaay down if this ends up badly in a trade

well at his salary and showing up big in big games I cant say I'd be mad about it either

JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs believe Arrowhead Stadium remains structurally sound and prefer to renovate their famous facility in the coming years, even if the neighboring Royals go through with plans to build a new ballpark elsewhere. The NFL franchise and its Major League Baseball counterpart have played at the Truman Sports Complex since the early 1970s, when Arrowhead opened just across the parking lot from Kauffman Stadium. Both have undergone massive renovations over the years, the most recent tying them to a new lease with Jackson County that expires in January 2031. Yet the Royals have made it clear that they intend to build a new stadium, either in downtown Kansas City or neighboring Clay County, and that they are aiming for a spring vote to renew a sales tax that would help to fund the construction. That leaves the Chiefs to decide whether they will pursue more renovations to Arrowhead Stadium or likewise build anew. “If the Royals decide to stay in Jackson County, we’ve had discussions about how we do that together. And if they go, then that is a variable and we’ve got to be ready to either continue on that path or pivot,” Chiefs President Mark Donovan said Friday. “Our team has done a really good job at just being ready. And I feel like we’re pretty well prepared for whatever happens.” Donovan underscored the preference of chairman Clark Hunt to remain in Arrowhead Stadium, though. It was Hunt’s father, Lamar Hunt, who founded the franchise and relocated it from Dallas to Kansas City for the 1963 season. “We’ve gone through the process and made some progress there,” Donovan said on report day for Chiefs veterans for training camp. “There are still three viable options on the table that we’ve got to do the due diligence on: renovate-upgrade, build new on-site or build new somewhere else. All three of those options are still part of our dialogue. We’ve learned a lot in this process. The good news is we think the building itself is actually, structurally pretty sound. Which gives us the opportunity.” “Having said that,” Donovan added, “we’ve learned it’s going to take a significant annual investment to keep that building sound.” While the Royals would use their share of a renewed tax to fund their new ballpark, the Chiefs would use their share not only for upgrades to Arrowhead Stadium but also to offset the annual upkeep that is certain to rise as the building ages. Another complication for the Chiefs is the fact that they are due to host World Cup games at Arrowhead Stadium in 2026, and that means some costly alterations to the 51-year-old building over the next three years so that it meets FIFA standards. “That would be really fast-forwarding everything to try to tie it all together,” Donovan admitted. “The question then becomes, ‘What are we going to do for the World Cup to be compliant to host that amazing event that potentially we could keep or benefit from or not have to redo?’ Versus, ‘We’ve got to make the building requirement-proof for World Cup, and we have to do that absolutely perfect, (but) we also have to play a football season pretty quickly after that, and we want our fans to have the best possible experience.’ So, we can’t really sacrifice the football experience because we did some things for the World Cup.” While the futures of the Royals and Chiefs are closely linked, they differ in one very glaring way: on-field success. The Royals began the day with the second-worst record in the majors — with little reason to hope for improvement — resulting in widespread fan apathy toward a $2 billion ballpark and mixed-use village at least partially funded by the public. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are coming off their third Super Bowl appearance in four years and just hoisted another Lombardi Trophy. “Yeah, it’s a special time to be a part of the Chiefs organization, right? It’s a special time to be a Chiefs fan,” Donovan said. “It’s also a really special time to be a part of this community. We’re proud of being a part of this community and being a contributor to this community. Kansas City is on a really, really good trend when you look at what we’re doing.”

a Bossette

I'm sure he is but asking and getting are 2 different things. That's AD $$ not sure if I see Veach giving him that I see the end # being #26-28M

Andy Reid, Clark Hunt discuss Chris Jones’ absence from Chiefs training camp Charles Goldman Sun, July 23, 2023 at 12:33 PM CDT The Kansas City Chiefs nearly had a full house on Sunday, with only four players absent from their first training camp practice. One of those players, veteran DT Chris Jones, has not yet reported for training camp as he seeks a long-term contract extension. The First-Team All-Pro defensive tackle is in the final year of his 2020 contract extension with Kansas City. After a lucrative offseason for the defensive tackle position group around the NFL, Jones is looking to cash in on a career year in 2022. Speaking to reporters after Sunday’s practice, Chiefs HC Andy Reid provided an update on the situation with Jones moving forward. “As far as Chris (Jones) goes, we’ll just see how things go here down the road,” Reid said. “There have been communications, we’ll see where it goes from here. We’ll take it. If you’re not here, we just keep moving and that’s how we roll. We don’t worry a lot about all that. We let it take care of itself.” Reid has been quite consistent in worrying about coaching the players who are in attendance at training camp and not worrying about those who aren’t yet on the practice field. He’s taken the same approach throughout his tenure in Kansas City. As per tradition at the first training camp practice, Chiefs CEO and Chairman Clark Hunt took some time to address the media. After being questioned about Jones’ absence, Hunt emphasized that contract negotiations are strictly on Brett Veach and his staff. He signs the checks, but he’s not directly involved in those conversations. “I leave that to Brett Veach & his staff,” Hunt said. “I’m not involved in that.” Hunt also wouldn’t speculate on when or if Jones might report to training camp, but he did say the team would welcome him with open arms at any time. “We love Chris (Jones) and when he decides to report, we’ll welcome him,” Hunt continued. “I don’t want to get into speculating on when that’ll happen or if that’ll happen.” There seems to be optimism that Jones will have a new deal. He could report to training camp prior to that deal happening if only to stop the fines. For each practice session missed, Jones will receive a $50K fine as mandated by the NFL and NFLPA’s most recent Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). He’ll be fined $950K total should he miss all of the team’s 2023 training camp practice sessions.

Eeyore is in the house!

I am certain the idea is.. That the K goes Down town New Arrowhead goes up in it's place Hotels. an event center and the like go up where Arrowhead once was. I agree about Domes with no soul altho I have not been to Jerry World or any other indoor Stadium except the one in STL and yea that one sucked. I have to question if todays Arrowhead noise rivals that of the past, I would think not so a Dome might be helpful.

altho I agree but does she discount the 2 WS trips in 2014 & 15? I'm no baseball fan by any means but does a team need to be winner before getting a new stadium?.. I'm not so sure

I'm not so sure IF they built a new stadium where the K was an IF they made it an indoor Stadium KC could host a SB. I dont live in KC anymore and am too old and wont see that day anyhow so it's hard for me to put too much passion into it one way or another. The Stadium is 50 years old for God's sake and is one of the oldest Stadiums in the league , somethings gotta give

Chiefs S Chamarri Conner reminds Mike Edwards of himself as a rookie Charles Goldman Fri, July 21, 2023 at 3:24 PM CDT The Kansas City Chiefs have some new pieces in the secondary for a second consecutive year. This time, it’s the safety position getting an influx of new talent with veteran Mike Edwards joining in free agency and Chamarri Conner being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL draft. After spending the past four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Edwards says that learning a new system has him feeling “like a rookie again” in some ways. Even as he’s tried to learn and soak everything up himself, he’s quickly become a mentor for the rookie Conner. And the veteran, Edwards, likes what he’s seen from the rookie, even likening Conner to himself when he first entered the NFL back in 2019. “Chamarri (Conner) is a phenomenal player,” Edwards said. “I mean, he’s a rookie. He’s kind of like me when I was a rookie. He learns very well. You can see that he’s got some things that you can’t teach as far as like instincts and everything. He just has that and some people can’t have that. You see that from him. He can play all over, he can play dime, safety. He’ll be used all over. I really like how he’s played.” That is especially high praise from a veteran player like Edwards, who has a penchant for being a ballhawk himself. His three interceptions returned for touchdowns since 2019 are among the most in the NFL during that span. Edwards hasn’t been on the field much with Conner this offseason due to a hamstring injury, but he’s done plenty of observation. Asked about what he’s learned from Edwards so far, the rookie Conner explained that he’s comfortable asking questions and getting feedback from his new teammate. He knows that Edwards has a lot of knowledge and insight to offer from his four years in the league. “I’m learning a lot,” Conner said. “I can always ask Mike (Edwards) questions or you know get some feedback from him. It’s been great just to see a guy that has been in the league for a while and being able to learn from him. It has been good.”

let the hype begin Here’s what makes Deneric Prince different from other Chiefs running backs Charles Goldman Sat, July 22, 2023 at 6:45 AM CDT Kansas City Chiefs undrafted free agent rookie RB Deneric Prince has turned heads during the offseason program thus far. Coaches and teammates alike seem impressed with his size and ability right out of the gate. Following training camp practice on Friday, Prince was able to detail what separates him and makes him different from the rest of the running back room in Kansas City. “Me personally, I feel like I’m an every-down back,” Prince said. “I feel like I can do it all. Routes to running hard, whatever they need.” Prince’s pass-catching ability has stood out significantly. At Tulsa, he was seldom used as a receiver, catching just 17 passes for 162 yards and a score. Prince says that even though he rarely caught passes at Tulsa, he was always ready to catch the ball should it come his way. “Yeah, that’s one of the things where If I don’t get the ball in the game, I stay after practice and get extra catches,” Prince said. “Just to always be prepared.” Similarly, Prince was not used on special teams often in college, but he has carved out a role on the team’s kick return unit in Kansas City. Dave Toub even likened his ability to that of former Chiefs kick returner Knile Davis. It’s just another area that Prince feels sets him apart and will allow him to showcase his natural abilities. “Just my ability to run in space,” Prince said. “I feel like that is going to show a lot.” Prince saw an outsized portion of repetitions during the offseason workout program with both Jerick McKinnon and Isiah Pacheco sidelined. Now, he’s trying to learn from the veterans and improve as much as he can during the course of training camp. “Obviously, I want to get better at everything,” Prince said. “So, I feel like I can improve in my pass protection and whatever coach needs me to improve on, I’m looking to work for it.” It’s the right type of mentality to have for a rookie who is fighting for an opportunity to make the 53-man roster.

I think downtown is the target for a new Baseball stadium

Mark Donovan provides update on Chiefs’ future at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium Charles Goldman Fri, July 21, 2023 at 12:51 PM CDT Arrowhead Stadium has been home to the Kansas City Chiefs since 1972 and the team currently has a lease in place to remain there through 2031. That said, the future home of the Chiefs has been up in the air. Ownership has made it clear that their preference is to remain at Arrowhead Stadium with upgrades and renovations to the stadium. However, there are a variety of options that are on the table, including new stadium options both on-site and off-site. Speaking to media members at the Chiefs’ training camp opening press conference in St. Joseph, Missouri, team president Mark Donovan provided the latest update on the team’s future as it relates to where they’ll play. Right now, that future is somewhat tied to their neighbors in the Truman Sports Complex, the Kansas City Royals. “To answer your question, the partnership with the Royals has been great,” Donovan began. “It’s really, really critical to both of us that we have a good partnership as we go through the decision-making process. We’ve been consistent every time that we’ve spoken that it is a process, it’s an important process and that we’re still in the process, but we’re making progress.” Not only is the Chiefs’ future at Arrowhead tied to the Royals’ decision on a new downtown stadium, but it’s also tied to the vote to extend the 3/8th cent sales tax in Jackson County, which goes toward improvements to Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium. That vote is still set for April 2024. Donovan reiterated some of what we already have come to know regarding their research and options the options that are on the table. “I want to be consistent and reiterate something that Clark (Hunt) said, the last time he spoke on this,” Donovan explained. “If everything plays out the way we think it’s going to play out, our preference for us, is to upgrade and renovate (Arrowhead Stadium) and make GEHA Field even better. “We’ve gone through the process and we’ve made some progress there. There are still three viable options on the table that we’ve got to do the due diligence on. Renovate and upgrade, build new on-site, or build new somewhere else. All three of those options are still part of our dialogue. “We’ve learned a lot in this process. The good news is, we think the building itself is actually, structurally, pretty sound — which gives us the opportunity (to renovate). Having said that, it’s going to take a significant annual investment to keep that building structurally sound. “The other thing we’ve learned, good and bad, is just like any project, right? There are some days when you get that phone call that’s like, ‘Hey, we just found this. It might be an issue.’ We’re talking about a core sample of cement that was poured in 1970, those issues could be significant and they could factor into the decision.” The types of issues that the team runs into during the course of their renovations for the 2026 World Cup could also prove to be a determining factor. The team will have to remove seating to properly fit the pitch and make improvements, with an estimated cost of around $50 million. That work will take place in 2024, 2025 and 2026. Asked whether any of those renovations would be tied into what they have planned for Arrowhead Stadium’s future, Donovan posed the following question. “What are we going to do to be compliant for the World Cup, to host that amazing event, that we could potentially keep? (Things) that we could benefit from or not have to re-do.” Ultimately, the Chiefs’ leadership team feels like they’re prepared for any possibility and have the ability to pivot when necessary. They know they need to get things absolutely perfect for the 2026 World Cup and do right by Chiefs fans as well. They also feel they’re heading down the path of doing what they’d like to do, which is to renovate and upgrade Arrowhead Stadium and call it home for many, many years to come. “We’re heading towards what we want to do and we’re making good progress towards that,” Donovan said. “There is still a lot of work to do and still a lot of due diligence to do. As it relates to the Royals and their decision, obviously, that factors in as well. If and when they go, then that creates opportunity for us and what does that mean? It gets really complicated. We have a sports complex now that has one tenant. How do you deal with that? You know, sports authority. I will say this, in addition to our communication with the Royals, which has been pretty consistent. We’re also talking to the Mayor (Quinton Lucas), the Governor (Mike Parson), the county, the sports authority. They’re all in the loop on what we’re doing and how we’re doing it and (they’re) very supportive.”
