Carl Peterson Quotes about:
-
City Quotes
The other suggestion was to play in Kansas City at noon Sunday, ... We don't expect any hurricanes here. That was considered, but the league made its decision. It creates some real problems for us with travel, and with trying to squeeze a Thursday, Friday and Saturday practice all into Thursday. But we have to do what the league orders us to do.
-
Agreement Quotes
We have received permission to interview and possibly sign Herman Edwards as the next head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. If an agreement is reached with the coach, then we will give the New York Jets our fourth-round draft choice in 2006. The NFL has approved the compensation if or when we come to an agreement with Herm.

Began Quotes
Mike Maslowski has been an extremely important player for this franchise since '99. He has grown with the Chiefs from his days as an NCAA Division III player, through NFL Europe, to starting linebacker and the most prolific tackler in a single season for this team. I don't think it's a coincidence that our defense began to decline when we lost Mike to injury in 2003.

Acquire Quotes
Matt has between now and the draft to see if he can to get something done. It will take the cooperation of the agent. ... We're not in a desperate need for a quarterback. I've got a very veteran quarterback that I think has got at least two and hopefully more years left in Trent Green. ... But if it makes sense -- and I'm not sure what that is yet -- to try to acquire his services, fine.

Absence Quotes
We fully expect that Larry Johnson will once again perform admirably in place of Priest, much like he did at the end of last season. Priest will continue to attend meetings and conduct his rehabilitation here in Kansas City. We fully anticipate that despite his absence on the field, Priest will continue to contribute to the success of Larry and our other running backs, as well as our entire football team. These are never easy decisions, but we believe this is the correct one for Priest at this time.
-
Catching Quotes
There was one guy out there with a football after a Saturday walk-through and it was Priest, ... He's practicing scoring a touchdown, catching the football, turning and running to the pylon in slow motion. The next game he catches a pass, runs to the pylon and I say to myself, 'I've seen this play before.'
-
Cleared Quotes
There were other times when people tried to count him out and then he shocked and surprised everybody, so it's too early to say. I would just say right now, if he had to start the football season, he couldn't because the doctors have not cleared him for contact. But we don't have to start right now. We'll see where we are in June or July.

Choices Quotes
I need to know what we think we might be able to get with our draft choices -- particularly our first-day draft choices. Once I can determine that with my personnel people, then I'll make a decision if it's worth continuing to pursue for a first-day draft choice, which I'm sure is what Matt wants.
