Chiefs Offseason Report

Well, HOT off "the Gridiron Newsstand", it is being reported that PK Morten Andersen and the Chiefs just agreed today to a 4-year contract, a contract the Chiefs' brass thinks Andersen, who turns 43 before the season commences, will be able to play out:
http://www.kcchiefs.com/news_article.asp?ID=HWZJTW43PWI7RB6IAC2PARX84W.
That rips him out of the Giants picture! Any takes on this? Does anybody really think he'll be able to play it out? He'd be 46 when the fourth year of this contract rolls around.
Edited to broaden the Topic!

Some updates out of "the Gridiron Newsstand", both BIG news and small:
QB Todd Collins re-signed to continue to serve as Trent Green's primary backup -

http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/football/nfl/kansas_city _chiefs/5451979.htm;
Probably of more interest, though, given the Priest's hip injury and contract situation, news on the Chiefs backup tailback hunt includes serious discussion of Shawn Bryson and Dorsey Levens, but talk of Emmitt Smith is all but dismissed:

Better than Abu-Dabi TV... They claim that Vonnie Holliday never even played in Green Bay; that he and Vaughn Booker are actually the same person, and that the fact that greater Kansas City is actually in Missouri is an American conspiracy.  
Dude, it is a shame you can't get that channel!

Well, actually, "If it ain't..." works as does "Unless it is..."  (that smiley was added with you in mind, 420)

Well, I don't have any corroboration, but I think Morton is a goner. FourTwoOh would know better, though. Anyway, my gut tells me that the two starting wideouts for the Chiefs this season are going to be Boerigter, who I think is going to bust out of nowhere and potentially have a huge year, and Kennison, who will be serviceable and maybe even slightly improve and be a solid #3-4 fantasy receiver.

Ooooh. I like it!
Problem is you've got Kennison, Morton, Boerighter, Gonzo, Minnis/Morris, and Holmes/Richardson/Johnson. Too many hyped players on this team which means...
I should draft Trent Green

From "the Gridiron Newsstand", this is a bit of an off-the-beat-and-track, but nevertheless fantasy-relevant, expose. It tries to make sense of all the "media self-driven" reports/"stories" that have come out this offseason regarding the Priest's injury, and, actually, as fantasy footballers it is just as much our job to "read" the media and "weed through" the information as it is to evaluate players and the situations they are in, i.e. the teams they are on. With that in mind, this is a great read, especially for over the weekend:

Interesting report. However, he doesn't provide all the information either.
He fails to address that:- No one has seen Priest run/play at full speed since the injury.
- The Chiefs refuse to show Priest the money, despite his amazing performance last year.
- The Chiefs went out and spent their first round pick on a runningback. You don't do this unless you A) have injury concerns about the back or B) simply don't want the back.
Further, he says people mistake an absence of information on the injury to mean its more serious than it is. Well, people assume that because in the past that's what it has meant.
So, either the author is a retard and can't even follow his own advice by looking through all the facts...
or...
he had an agenda and omitted information contrary to it. According to this author--and I avoid using names to avoid making this a flame type situation, even though it is--Priest got injured and had one minor scope on his hip and that's it.
That's pretty blind if you ask me. That's like Fiedler thinking the Dolphins got Griese as purely a backup.

Though I see your point, Razz, you must admit that comparing a marginal performer, Fiedler, and a top-of-the-liner, Holmes, is a tenuous position to be arguing from. Logically, I totally follow you. But, with regards to magnitude, these are VERY different situations.

In particular response to the quote above from the Vikes thread, here is a contrary piece straight off "The REAL Feed":
http://espn.go.com/nfl/columns/clayton_john/1578737.html.
Quite informative, especially the following line:
"Holmes told fantasy fans that he would make himself the No. 1 choice in any fantasy draft because he is so optimistic about his comeback."
Can't get more direct than that!  Gotta' love that fantasy-specific prognosis right from the horse's mouth!  Respect the High Priest!
