The Chiefs, however, said in a statement that their agreement with the Missouri National Guard was about advertising and not tributes to service members. A request for comment from the Guard was not returned. "The Kansas City Chiefs had a partnership with the Missouri National Guard in 2011," the team’s statement said. "The agreement was for one year and was strictly for promotional and advertising elements." The National Guard paid NFL teams $5.6 million in 2013 and 2014, according to the Los Angeles Times, and this year it is paying $4.1 million for sporting event advertising, including $1.2 million to NFL teams. The Chiefs’ agreement with the Missouri Guard was only for 2011.

Eric Fisher needs to have big year for Kansas City Chiefs | ESPN
If left tackle Eric Fisher is ever going to become the player the Chiefs envision, this would most likely be the season it happens. Fisher recently said he’s been able to get much stronger and mold his body the way he wanted during his first full injury- and rehab-free offseason with the Chiefs. He had surgery to repair a balky shoulder last offseason and wasn’t able to lift weights as he needed to.
Chiefs Sign 10 Undrafted Rookie Free Agents | BobGretz.com
The biggest name among those 10 was Mississippi State University cornerback Justin Cox.

Also part of the group is defensive lineman David Irving, who was kicked off the Iowa State University football team last April after he was arrested in two different incidents including a domestic violence case.

"I'm just excited to see him get an opportunity," Henson told FOXSportsKansasCity.com this week. "Because he's a guy that I always felt was undervalued. He was a better player than people kind of gave him credit for." In Columbia, Justin Britt was the sleeping giant; Max Copeland, the philosopher in Hell's Angels' clothing; Evan Boehm, the glue. But Morse was the George Harrison of those great Mizzou offensive lines of recent vintage, the quiet Beatle with the big heart.
K.C. Chiefs need Alex Smith to shine in 2015 | Arrowhead Addict
For the Chiefs to win the AFC West and make a run at the Super Bowl, I believe Smith needs a career year, but nothing insane. I’m thinking somewhere around 3,700 yards with 27 touchdowns and less than 12 interceptions. Above all, I want to see that turnover number staying low. With a defense like Kansas City’s, don’t give any team a short field to work with. Smith is typically excellent in this portion of the game.
