Ex-Chiefs GM Scott Pioli has joined the cast of NBC's Football Night in America.
Pioli says he was contacted by a "number of different T.V. networks and NFL teams" after being fired in January, but has decided to go the T.V. route. He was a surprisingly entertaining and informative listen during the run-up to the draft, appearing nothing like the paranoid man he was accused of being in Kansas City. It's a good get for the "Peacock Network" and football fans alike.

Chiefs claimed DE Austen Lane off waivers from the Jaguars and released DT Daniel Muir.

Jamaal Charles says the Chiefs' new offense "might be the best thing that ever happened to me."
"I think this offense will get me open," Charles said. "They're going to throw me the ball more. I think I'll continue to stack Pro Bowls on Pro Bowls if I can stay healthy." OC Doug Pederson believes the "sky is the limit" for Charles, and we feel he should shatter his previous career high of 45 catches. Charles checks in at No. 5 overall in our own Evan Silva's June Top 150.
