PrintWe've noted that the floor and ceiling is set for Chiefs rookie third rounder Jon Asamoah meaning the player before and after him has signed slotting the basic outline of the contract he'll receive. That's part of the reason the rumor mill is churning that the Chiefs will soon announce that Asamoah is signed.
With Nate Allen signing with the Eagles, same goes for Chiefs WR Dexter McCluster. Via Mac's Football Blog:
35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Brian Price, DT, UCLA - Signed (4-years, $5.32M; $3.55M guaranteed)
36. Kansas City Chiefs - Dexter McCluster, WR, Mississippi
37. Philadelphia Eagles - Nate Allen, S, South Florida - Agreed to Terms (4-years, financial terms undisclosed)
I said earlier Allen's deal could potentially cause some problems since the Eagles had basically already given him the starting job increasing his leverage to ask for a non-slotted deal (which I suppose still could've happened).
So two of the Chiefs four unsigned draft picks don't have a ton of wiggle room remaining. The two sides could be haggling over a number of things at this point.
The players surrounding Eric Berry and Javier Arenas have yet to sign contracts but that doesn't mean a deal isn't necessarily close -- the Chiefs set the trend on Tony Moeaki signing him before anyone else around him was inked.

Asamoah’s deal announced within next 48 hours. McCluster before the weekend is out. Arenas on 2nd day of training camp. Berry by the end of next week.

I think that your prediction is pretty realistic
and I certainly hope that’s the case.
A good memory is no substitute for the playbook rookie!

your prolly right
but i was hopin that at least everyone would sign before training camp except berry
3 early predictions
3. Moeaki will one day be a star tight end
2. This will be DJs last year
1. Chiefs will go 8-8
What if......
What if they are already signed but they are keeping everything quiet for right now…..This is Pioli we are talking about…Mr. Tight lips
If they've signed, they would've announced it
But maybe they’ve agreed to terms but the player has actually yet to sign. That’s possible, too.

Well then
that would be a nice surprise come day 1 at camp seeing everyone there.
People think there are 4 seasons. I beg to differ, there are 2...Football and Non Football Season!!!
I expect big things
from Dex, let’s hope a deal is done. I have high hopes for the squad in general. Weis and Crennel make great duo, let’s see if Haley has the nuts.
I hope Asamoah ends up being a replica of another Shields
Opinions are like A--holes, everyones got one.
