He was the highest rated guy on our board — without any question. We were looking for defensive backs and players who can set the tone. |
He's called us. It was a short conversation. It was like, 'When you get back to reality, give us a call.' ... I mean, if his agent can get a contract for half of what he's making right now, then that's terrific. I don't know that he can. |
He's obviously worthy of consideration to be a head coach in the National Football League. |
I am personally disappointed that we were not able to work out a new contract for Tony Richardson. Obviously, his contributions both on and off the field in his 10 years here have been outstanding. We sincerely thank Tony for all his efforts and accomplishments while in Kansas City. |
I asked Dick if they'd asked him if he was interested in the (Redskins) job, ... Dick said they did, and then he said, 'But I couldn't work for a guy like Dan Snyder.' |
I can't remember a regular-season game where a decision was made at the end of game to go for a win and not a tie, especially at home. Obviously, my head coach made the right decision. |
I don't want to get into that because it's a pretty sensitive issue. I've done it before. |
I guess it was right up there with the Joe Montana trade, ... [Friday] was fun. I think we've acquired three excellent players in the first day of the draft [in Green, Holmes and Horne]. |
I guess that's what the NFL is. It's always about change and we certainly have had some changes the past few weeks, few days, few hours. |
I like to think, if you look at our roster, there are some good, young, talented players at every position. You try to look ahead there, but sometimes you just have to make decisions. |
I make the rules around here, ... The rule is you can't be in that room, and that's all you need to know. |
I need to know what we think we might be able to get with our draft choices -- particularly our first-day draft choices. Once I can determine that with my personnel people, then I'll make a decision if it's worth continuing to pursue for a first-day draft choice, which I'm sure is what Matt wants. |
I think it's only smart to retain your own best players first, and then if you have the money and the cap dollars (remaining) to go after free agents. You don't want those guys to ever get to the last year of their contract for fear that you might lose them to free agency. |
I think the Chiefs have gotten better very quickly by the acquisition of Trent Green, ... From what I've seen, this young man has the abilities and capabilities to hopefully take us, with a supporting cast, where this franchise would like to go. He was a piece of the puzzle we wanted to finally get into place. |
I think Tony had his mind made up before he went to Minnesota, so we really didn't even get into any negotiations. I'm disappointed about that, and I told him I was disappointed because, frankly, he did not call me back before he left for Minnesota. |
