Chiefs Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
<p><p>Since late June and July are times for contract negotiating in the NFL, it will be interesting to see if the Chiefs and Matt Cassel can work out a long-term deal.</p>
<p>Currently, Cassel is playing on the franchise player tender given to him by the New England Patriots earlier this year: $14.65 million for this season. When they picked Cassel up in a trade with the Patriots, the Chiefs inherited that tender offer.</p>
<p>It's a situation that Cassel says is irrelevant to his 2009 season on the field.</p>
<p>"You always love the fact you have some stability," Cassel said. "This to me isn't a one-year deal. I want to come here and build this team and work towards a common goal of getting better, making the playoffs and winning championships.</p> <p>"If I go into the year with just the...

Extra weight coming off the Chiefs (AP)
The Kansas City Chiefs are a lesser team than they used to be, and not just because record-breaking tight end Tony Gonzalez was traded to Atlanta. Since Todd Haley began his offseason conditioning program, the Chiefs players have shed almost 340 pounds of unwanted fat. The average loss for NFL teams trying to work off winter flab, Haley figures, is about 125-150 pounds.
Cassel finally finds his team (AP)
Everywhere Matt Cassel went, a great quarterback got in the way.

Pro Bowl guard Brian Waters showed up for the first day of Kansas City's mandatory minicamp Friday, admitting he was a bit out of shape but refusing to say whether he still wants a trade.
