Scout.com: Chiefs Face A Perception Problem
The perception of Hunt – as echoed by hundreds of message board posts, Tweets, and radio callers – is that he’s a cheapskate, unwilling to spend the necessary money it will take to improve his woeful football team.

RB Justin Fargas' free agent visit with the Chiefs is Tuesday night, I've been told.

TEAMS THAT DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT AN UNCAPPED YEAR MEANT
One agent estimated that more than half the teams would cut payroll this season, and the last few days told us all we needed to know. The Redskins slashed 10 veterans as if there were still a cap to worry about and have spent little money since then. The Dallas Cowboys have done nothing. And some of the lowest-revenue teams like the Kansas City Chiefs have such low payrolls that they may not get anywhere near last season’s $108 million minimum.

The tears Marty Schottenheimer shed on Saturday when he was talking about becoming the 40th member of the Chiefs Hall of Fame were real. They were always real with Marty. The German’s emotions are always close to the surface. You won’t find many men that have been in the game of football tougher than Martin Edward Schottenheimer. He was so tough that he didn’t much worry about those salty drops coming from his eyes, or the clutch that would come in his throat or what other people might think of them. When something flips that switch, he’s unafraid of allowing his emotions to take control for a few moments.
Printers handed mandate to lead
Printers' career path might have been up in the air at that point. It isn't any longer. "The whole Hamilton thing ws a blur. I had just been released [from the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs]. I was frustrated and I didn't have the right mindset," Printers recalled Sunday. "What makes me comfortable now is that we have the right organization, starting from the top."

Small ripple I wish KC would have made:
After signing Dunta Robinson, the Falcons traded Chris Houson for a sixth-round pick and a swap of fifth-round picks. Dude, I haven’t been getting wrapped up in what could’ve been in trades between two other teams, but that would’ve been a nice get for KC. Houston would’ve been a good guy to have competing with Carr for the second corner spot, or even as a consideration at free safety, since his only real drawback has been getting his head around.

I have beat wholesale ass for a whole lot less.
This could be the surprise of the uncapped year.
The Redskins slashed 10 veterans as if there were still a cap to worry about and have spent little money since then. The Dallas Cowboys have done nothing.
Everyone thought Jones and Snyder would go nuts spending on FA’s. But now, without a cap, they can get rid of the grossly overpaid mistakes they’ve made in the past and reload with younger, inexpensive players. Because contracts aren’t guaranteed, a guy making $8 million a year who doesn’t play like $8 million has no place on a roster.
This could be an interesting year. We’ll see in the next week or two if these guys can resist paying out a big contract.
Ref: perception problem
Who thinks so highly of themselves that the presume to tell others what they can and can’t do with their wealth?

Who expect a competitive amount of money be spent on the product on the field.
I'm the one who got rocks in my stockings
Well, Nfl “Santa” brought alot of fans great gifts. The Skins got Peppers, Balitmore got Boldin, and what as Chiefs fans did we get?….. A big bag of rocks! What good are rocks gonna do for what I’m building? Man, the draft better be DAMN. good.
My concern
Is that we don’t have a ‘Perception Problem’ but an actual problem.
Maybe we just arent ready for a big free agent
Or a big trade. I will reference the oakland/new england trade last year. The raiders, a team that is no where near being a contender, gave up their 2011 first round pick to get seymour. It made no sense and everyone in the football world besides al davis could figure that out.
We dont want to be the team that makes moves for franchise players without having a franchise do we? Maybe next year or the year after if we are showing som promise we will go after a big time free agent or be ae to trade our ever so valuable draft picks, but for now i am not upset because i know that we arent ready for a set of gold spinner rims for our Grand Am of a team, i would wrather wait until we atleast have a Mustang at minimum. Does anyone catch my drift?
