T Willie Tillman (KC) signs large free agent deal!

NEW YORK -- Anxious all week, T Willie Tillman was finally catching some sleep at home in Charlotte, N.C., when he found out just how serious the Kansas City Chiefs were about acquiring him.

The free-agent signing period had just begun, and Tillman's agent called to tell him that the Chiefs head coach was in town. Soon, Tillman was meeting him at an executive airport.

Now, Tillman is being fitted for a Chiefs uniform.

One of the league's top Ts and top free-agent prize agreed Friday to a 5 year contract worth $21,040,000.

"It's one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it's a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Chiefs," Tillman said.

The Raiders have released Timothy Reed - LB!

The Timothy Reed year veteran LB will be looking for a new team. In his career he has compiled a CV with 1034 Tck, 31 Sck, 11 Int, 3 Def TD, 1 Sfty, 24 FF, 14 FR. It remains to be seen if he can bargain that into a new contract elsewhere.

Coaching Carousel Predictions.

The offseason is upon us and that means teams are shaking up their coaching staffs. This means that we get to take our annual look at coordinators who could make the leap to become head coaches, and the teams who are likely to poach them.

The prime candidates identified by our experts are:
John Caudill - Defensive Coordinator - Oakland Raiders
Rusty Adams - Offensive Coordinator - Carolina Panthers
Mark Beltran - Offensive Coordinator - New England Patriots
Royce Sweeney - Defensive Coordinator - Washington Commanders
Neil Bible - Offensive Coordinator - Miami Dolphins
David Lattimore - Offensive Coordinator - San Francisco 49ers
Jerold Adams - Offensive Coordinator - Denver Broncos
Garfield Florence - Defensive Coordinator - Denver Broncos

As always, we are prone to wild speculations, so we asked our in-house experts to do a little matchmaking between candidates and teams. Here is what they came up with:

Mary Moore:
Garfield Florence leaves the Broncos to become the head coach for the New Orleans Saints.

Darren Francis:
I think the Commanders lose Royce Sweeney and I see him heading to New Orleans Saints.

Jim Nox:
The Raiders cannot hold on to John Caudill. I would like to see him coach the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jeremy Piper:
Garfield Florence is certainly on the move. That means Broncos will need a new coordinator. As for where Florence ends up? Well, I think Chicago Bears is a good bet.
