Locked on Chiefs: Team-first leadership from KC veterans

The Kansas City Chiefs are getting buy-in from their current players and are displaying a team-first mentality on improving the overall roster.

The signing of Bennie Logan as the replacement for Dontari Poe shows the atmosphere within the organization on two different levels.

First, Logan’s former teammate at Louisiana State University, Spencer Ware, was instrumental in explaining to Logan the atmosphere within the Chiefs organization. Logan explained to Chiefs.com that Ware described in detail the feeling that the organization is a “family”. Logan elaborated that “that’s why I made the decision.”

Secondly, team leaders backed up that sentiment by restructuring deals in order to accommodate the cap space needed to make the Logan signing happen. Derrick Johnson and Anthony Sherman restructured their deals in order to free cap space it was then used to bring Logan on board.

Both of these things bode well for the Chiefs. Good things happen when you can be an organization that works on a “team-first” basis at both the leadership and player levels.
