Odd logic. So you included rookies (who aren’t under contract) but you didn’t include Hali (who is tagged and said he wants to remain in KC) because he’s not under contract. Odd logic.

I think this season is all about Matt Cassel. With the weapons at his disposal, this is Cassel's time to shine (assuming Haley gives him more than a dozen or so passes a game). I think we'll find out this year if we have a franchise quarterback for the next five or so years or if we simply have a stopgap QB. I also think McCluster has to perform as we'll need him in the slot to keep Bowe from being double teamed. Good luck this season (if we have one), I'll be rooting for you guys to finish with almost as many wins as the Chiefs.
