Per ESPN: Chiefs-Jets talks stall
Looks like Carl is waiting to see if they fire him first.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2281478 Updated: Jan. 5, 2006, 1:35 PM ET Sources: Chiefs-Jets talks over Edwards stalled By Chris Mortensen ESPN.com Talks between the Chiefs and Jets over Herm Edwards leaving New York to become the Kansas City coach have stalled, according to league sources. The compensation package that has been on the table involved the Chiefs sending fourth- and fifth-round draft picks to the Jets, perhaps splitting the choices over two years, but Chiefs president Carl Peterson has been reluctant to close a deal, the sources added. Peterson's reluctance, the sources believe, is based on his sense that Edwards is no longer welcomed in New York by Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is reportedly tired over Edwards' status. However, a league source added that Peterson's gamble could cost him because if Edwards is fired, the Chiefs would have competition among other teams who would be interested in the Jets coach. As one other source said, the deal is "always a phone call away." ESPN's Chris Mortensen is a regular contributor to Insider. He chats every Wednesday in The Show. |

This where Carl's hard-ass negotiating tactics could be beneficial.

They either take Carl's lower price or they fire Herm and they get nothing in return. |

Carl's going to call their bluff. They can't take Herm back now that it's clear they are looking to get rid of him, and are lining up interviews with others.
Carl's going to tell them where to go, and they'll have to fire him, then we can get him for free. Hey, a mediocre coach for free is better than paying with picks for him. |

Does anyone on this board think Carl isn't a bastard in negotiations? I have no doubt he'll wear down whoever he is negotiating with except Nick Saban.

If Herm is who Carl wants and it's not the worst possible choice (not even close IMO) then I'm glad he's doing everything possible to get him at the price that he wants. I'm betting that we're going to lose a pick or two but a 4th and a 5th isn't horrible if that's what it ends of being. I think that we have an extra 5th rounder anyway. Bradway is going have nightmares after this is all said and done. |

I wouldn't mind having Herm as long as no picks were sent anywhere.
He needs all the help he can get.

I agree we have them by the balls.
And I hope Bradway let's pride get the better of him and he keeps Herm. CP may just save himself from himself.

I assume you want yourself as HC? Seriously though, who would be your #1 choice. |

agreed, if this falls through, I have a feeling right now similar to just avoiding a car wreck. |

I would rather be DC than HC...
Saunders. He is familiar with the team, he knows how to ramp up an Offense and he likes to go for the jugular. xoxo~ Gaz Wants a HC with a taste for blood. |
