  4. I heard today that neither Moore or Toney has really done much so far in camp to think they could have a chance to make the final roster
  5. Unless you know someone in KC who can pick up on for you on the 4th of September, you have to hope someone sells one on Ebay or a similar site.

  11. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40672172/chiefs-patrick-mahomes-says-not-underpaid-qb-deals I started thinking this morning about how lucky we are as a fanbase to have Patrick instead of a QB who quotes lines from Jerry Mcquire and a former WR who's only thought is that he wants to get more money now as well...thank god for Patrick, Travis and AR.
  12. I would bet that one of the Vets told the 7th Rounder to do it, so they did not look stupid..raiders are a clown show 🤡
  13. TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Former Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs has been convicted on two counts of misdemeanor animal cruelty charges. Tuscaloosa County District Judge Joanne Jannik sentenced Buggs on July 19 to a year of hard labor, ordering him to serve 60 days. The rest would be suspended for two years “pending the behavior of the defendant." Buggs, 27, also is not allowed to have or be around firearms or own dogs or cats. The Chiefs released the former Alabama player on June 24, eight days after his second recent arrest in Alabama. He was arrested on a charge of domestic violence/burglary and released on a $5,000 bond, according to records from the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office. The run-stuffing tackle out of Alabama played three seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers before spending the past two with the Detroit Lions. He has started 23 games and appeared in 56 in his career, with 89 tackles and two sacks. He had signed a $1,292,500 contract with Kansas City for the upcoming season.

  15. ST. JOSEPH Two years ago, at this exact location inside a tent next to the Chiefs training camp practice fields, Chiefs owner Clark Hunt openly discussed his preference to stay long-term at a renovated Arrowhead Stadium. Following a Jackson County failed stadium vote in April, though — along with the state of Kansas working to woo the team — Hunt’s message was different Monday when speaking about his future stadium hopes with reporters. “We’re really approaching it with an open mind. We don’t have a desired outcome,” Hunt said. “We just have to find a solution that works for the community, and something that works for the club.” Chiefs team president Mark Donovan stressed the gravity of the situation last week. He repeatedly stated that the organization would prefer to finalize its stadium plans in the next six months, with the team’s lease Hunt reiterated that the decision was “an urgent issue that we’ve got to find a solution for in the near term.” “I know from having been through a few stadium efforts that they’re slow-moving and unpredictable,” Hunt said. “So to say we’ll be able to get to the finish line in six months is probably optimistic, but we would like to make some progress.” What type of stadium will the Chiefs choose? And where will it be? Hunt didn’t tip his hand Monday, saying the team was glad to have many options available while looking forward to talks with “leaders on both sides of the state line.” He also left open one rarely discussed possibility: a new Chiefs stadium in Missouri. Though the previously failed Jackson County tax would’ve remodeled Arrowhead Stadium, a future plan could involve brand new construction; Hunt said the team “certainly would have to look at a dome” if it went that direction. “I do think a renovated Arrowhead would be a very good solution,” Hunt said, “but also think a new stadium, and what that could bring to the community in terms of really big events, I think that could be really valuable.” Perhaps most important to local fans: Hunt does not seem interested in moving the Chiefs outside the Kansas City area. When asked if the team might consider other locations, Hunt spoke about the team’s special connection with the community and fanbase. “Our focus is very much on finding a solution here in the metropolitan area,” he said. Hunt said much of the team’s stadium evaluation over the next few months will focus on whether renovation or building new is better. And while Arrowhead Stadium holds particular sentimental value for him — his father, Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, often said Arrowhead Stadium was his favorite place on earth — Clark said the team must look to what’s best for the franchise and local vicinity. I had a bunch of season-ticket holders come up to me today to share how special Arrowhead is with them, and we know that,” Hunt said. “But we do have to look to the future. And potentially having a new building, whether it’s on the Missouri or Kansas side, may make the most sense.”
  16. KC Star BY BLAIR KERKHOFF JULY 22, 2024 6:55 PM The death of former Chiefs running back great Abner Haynes offered an opportunity to remember one of the franchise’s great players, perhaps the first one. Haynes was the AFL’s first MVP in 1960, when the team was known as the Dallas Texans, and he continued winning honors when founder Lamar Hunt moved the organization to Kansas City. Haynes’ recent passing provides another conversation topic. The only player in Chiefs’ history to wear No. 28, he is one of 10 men whose Kansas City jersey and number are retired. No original AFL team has retired more jerseys than the Chiefs’ 10. Is it possible, with current and future candidates, that the Chiefs could one day find themselves in a uniform numbers crunch? “As we’ve gone along over the years, we’ve needed to be more judicious in retiring jerseys, just from a practical standpoint of just having enough numbers available, particularly in training camp,” Chiefs chairman and owner Clark Hunt said Monday. “It certainly doesn’t mean that we won’t retire another jersey. But it’s something we’re really going to think about and approach from a bigger perspective.” The list of retired Chiefs uniform numbers starts those whose played all or nearly all of their Pro Football Hall of Fame careers with the Chiefs: Bobby Bell (78) Buck Buchanan (86) Willie Lanier (63) Len Dawson (16) Jan Stenerud (3) Emmitt Thomas (18) Derrick Thomas (58) Two other players’ numbers were retired after they died at a young age. Running back Stone Johnson, a former Olympic sprinter and Grambling quarterback, suffered a fractured vertebra in his neck during a 1963 preseason game in Wichita and died 10 days later. He never played a regular-season game, but his No. 33 hasn’t been worn since. Mack Lee Hill (36) was among the AFL’s top rushers in his first two seasons. But after suffering a knee injury late in the 1965 season, he died on the operating table 90 minutes after undergoing surgery. Another former Chiefs running back, Joe Delaney, died tragically when he attempted to rescue children from drowning in a pond in 1983. Delaney had played two seasons and rushed for 1,121 yards as a rookie. Although his No. 37 wasn’t officially retired, it hasn’t been worn since then. That makes 11 numbers out of circulation for the Chiefs — and interestingly, that’s not the most in the NFL. The Chicago Bears and New York Giants each have 14 retired numbers. In other sports, basketball’s Boston Celtics have retired 24 numbers and baseball’s New York Yankees 21. Still, 10 or 11 is a large number for a team, and the Chiefs could face a squeeze down the road. Consider that, of the 10 retired numbers, nine were worn by guys who spent most of their career — their best years — playing in the 1960s. That leaves five-plus decades of performance to consider, and although several periods after the opening decade were nowhere near as successful, the current Chiefs have been the NFL’s top franchise for the past five years. They’ve won three Super Bowls and are led by some of the greatest players in team history. It’s easy to visualize the Nos. 15 (Patrick Mahomes), 87 (Travis Kelce) and 95 (Chris Jones) qualifying for retirement someday. Others could become deserving, too. And then there’s this: Two Chiefs have entered the Hall of Fame in the past decade. Offensive lineman Will Shields (68) was voted to Canton in 2015, and tight end Tony Gonzalez (88), who spent 12 of his 17 seasons with the Chiefs, followed him there in 2019. There is no word, yet, on their respective jersey retirements. The Chiefs also induct former stars into their Hall of Honor. This season, defensive end Tamba Hali will become the 49th player to enter the Chiefs Hall of Honor and see his name added to the ring around Arrowhead Stadium. That may have to suffice as the team’s highest honor available, at least for a while.
