Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports S Jerome Woods would not accept a pay cut from the Kansas City Chiefs so he was released. The drafting of safeties Bernard Pollard in the second round and Jarrad Page in the seventh round made Woods expendable. They also have incumbent starters S Greg Wesley and S Sammy Knight and veteran backup S William Bartee. Woods was not participating in the Chiefs' offseason workouts. When contacted at his offseason home in Memphis, Tenn., Woods said he would try continuing his career elsewhere.


Chiefs | Edwards discusses M. Bennett
Fri, 19 May 2006 08:18:39 -0700

Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herman Edwards said the Chiefs have talked with the New Orleans Saints about a trade for RB Michael Bennett. "They called us and we talked," Edwards said. "That's what everybody does. We talked about certain scenarios. We have to explore all of our options." With RB Priest Holmes' return uncertain, the Chiefs have only RB Quentin Griffin as a proven backup for RB Larry Johnson. "We're not panicking by any stretch of the imagination," Edwards said. "We have a lot of time to decide whether we need another running back. We don't have to decide that today. Training camp is not until July."
