Update: Jared Allen did not make the trip. This is really too bad, as I think we all were looking forward to him taking on Phat Albert. From Red Zone:
As reported earlier Thursday, Minnesota Vikings and former Chiefs defensive end Jared Allen did not travel with the Vikings on Thursday for the teams’ joint practice [...]

Looks like the Cheaps Chiefs are going to save some money this offseason. The Chiefs have around $39 million in cap room, almost $10 M more than any other team. I don’t think the Chiefs have ever held this honor, and quite frankly I hate looking like the Arizona Cardinals, but I believe the Chiefs [...]

Thought everyone would enjoy this video clip from the vault. It’s a clip of the altercation that went down the last time the Chiefs and Vikings held their annual training camp scrimmage. Let’s go Red and Gold! We need to make some things happen tonight. Especially Phat Albert going up against the artist formerly known [...]

John Lynch said peace out to the Denver Broncos today. He is Herm Edwards‘ kid’s Godfather, or something like that, but I still don’t expect him to end up with the Chiefs. The Tampa Bay ties might make it a rumor, but pay no heed. Doesn’t make sense for either party. From ESPN:
Longtime star safety [...]

I’m going to take sort of a free-flowing, word-association approach to running down the developments of Kansas City Chiefs‘ training camp so far…
Biggest Surprise - Pat Thomas
Only one person had him penciled in as a starter before camp, and that was Maine Chief. Who knows if he can hold on and keep his new starting [...]

Looks like another former Chief wants to run his mouth about taking it to the Chiefs this season. This time it comes from Casey Wiegmann, who will be playing second fiddle to Tom Nalen.
“It’s strange, and it isn’t. When I first signed here, the first thing I thought of was Neil Smith,” Wiegmann said Tuesday, [...]

Here’s my breakdown, er, beat down of our AFC West rivals:
Denver Broncos:
We were also interested in OT Ryan Clady, until we saw that he basically tanked his Wonderlic. He actually would have scored a 14 on the test instead of 13, but he spelled his last name with two “Ds” accidentally.
As for their receiving corps, [...]

(Sorry for my disappearing act the past 24 hours or so. Came down with one of my patented migraines some of you have heard about. No, I’m not talking about a hangover, as, like, Jared Allen, I’ve been dry for a while now. Anyway, had to unplug for a day, but I’m back…)
The other AFC [...]

First off, I would like to take this time to invite all off the Carl Peterson haters out there from around the world to be sure and leave your apologies in the comment section at the bottom of this post. 
I am not a CP hater myself, I am in the minority on that one I [...]

“I’m gonna run that $51 million out of your fat ass! Run, rookie, run!”
Go ahead–take your crack at captioning this fantastic training camp snapshot…

Could former Chiefs starting quarterback Damon Huard get traded? Adam Teicher of the Star thinks it’s a possibility:
His status doesn’t figure to change any time soon. The Chiefs are committed to Croyle as their starter, at least for now. They are intrigued by the ability of Thigpen and want every opportunity to see what he [...]

Tony Gonzalez is the man. First, his diving catch and INT break-up during practice today, then the current President and likely future one singling him out for his life-saving good deed. The entire Chiefs nation should consider itself lucky on a daily basis that Tony G wears the Red and Gold. Today is all about [...]

Yes, that’s him. The Glenn Dorsey. Swamp Thing. The Bayou Bruiser. Glenn Dorsey Glenn Hoss. The Chiefs‘ new $5 1 Million Dollar Man. Looking as big as that SUV he climbed out of, ready to put the franchise on his broad shoulders.
He already has more nicknames and more pressure than any of his fellow teammates, [...]

Thanks to commenter bas for getting up early on a Saturday to report that Glenn Dorsey has signed a contract and will be in camp today. This is big news for Chiefs fans, and it shows that the front office is serious about the youth movement.

The Chiefs and top draft pick Glenn Dorsey have agreed [...]

Most of you will probably remember how much I wrote about the Wonderlic and its value heading up to the draft. Mostly, I used the Wonderlic to argue against us picking Ryan Clady, who scored a paltry 13 on the test; and for us picking Chris Williams, who scored a 32 (Branden Albert scored a [...]
