Arrowheadlines: Chiefs News 5/21

Good morning! Here is today's Kansas City Chiefs news. Enjoy.

The Chiefs will be on the field Monday afternoon for the first of 10 OTA practices.

A three-day mandatory minicamp will follow the 10 OTA dates, running Kansas City's offseason program into mid-June before breaking until training camp.

Though OTAs consist of helmets-only practices, the on-field sessions will be the closest thing resembling a training camp practice until the Chiefs head to St. Joseph at the end of July.

Only the Shutdown Corner has the resources to get actual players, coaches, and executives from each team to evaluate their own offseasons! That's right: over the next few weeks, you will get transaction evaluations straight from the horse's mouths: straight talk about who was signed, who was lost, who was drafted, and why.

(For the satirically challenged: all player, coach, and executive remarks are made by an impersonator).

In this segment, former Chiefs coach Todd Haley breaks down the offseason moves of the team that fired him at the end of last season. We have a bad feeling about this.

From the team's standpoint, there's little doubt when it comes to attendance that the more the merrier. That isn't to say that an absence from one or more of the OTAs precludes an individual player or entire team from success, but teams justifiably prefer that as many players show up as is possible.

I learned first-hand one of the byproducts of perfect attendance during my time with the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2010 offseason.

But an outpouring of generosity and support has given students some unusual benefits, Campbell said.

Every student got a MacBook laptop to use all year. The prom was sponsored in part by singer Katy Perry and included discounted dresses and tuxedos, free makeup for the girls and top entertainment and décor.

The football team got to play at the stadium of the NFL Kansas City Chiefs. A softball player, Campbell threw out a first pitch at a St. Louis Cardinals game.

"There were so many amazing opportunities we were able to get through school because of the tornado," Campbell said.

And of course Obama is speaking at commencement.

Kurt from Seattle wants to know what I think about Kansas City Chiefs receivers coach Nick Sirianni.

BW: Sirianni has been highly regarded in Kansas City. He was the offensive quality control coach for the past three years. He helped in several different areas and he was credited for helping Matt Cassel during his strong season in 2010. I think Sirianni certainly can be a coach to look for as an offensive coordinator candidate in the coming seasons.
