Raiders' Palmer: No-huddle won't work if it's overused
Carson Palmer has heard the talk that the Oakland Raiders should simply be done with the whole idea of huddling up.

Injuries piling up for Raiders
When the Oakland Raiders signed Shawntae Spencer as a free agent in March, coach Dennis Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie hoped the veteran cornerback could help stabilize a secondary that underwent significant changes in the offseason.
Instead, Spencer has spent more time in the trainer's room getting treatment for a sprained right foot than he has on the field.

Chiefs Unlikely To Be Able To Trade Away WR Dwayne Bowe
As much as the Chiefs might want to trade Dwayne Bowe, knowing he probably is landing elsewhere as a free agent, a deal isnt likely for a few reasons. One, another team isnt likely to trade for Bowe without knowing if hell sign a long-term extension, and that lowers the price on what the market will bear. Two, the Chiefs have no other reliable receivers. Scott Pioli and Romeo...
Crennel swaps signs in motivational ploy

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali is expecting some extracurricular activity on Sunday when his team takes on the division rival Oakland Raiders.

Chiefs QB Brady Quinn 'Surprised' He Got Starting Job Over Matt Cassel
When Matt Cassel suffered a concussion in an ugly 9-6 loss to the Ravens in Week 5, it was obvious Brady Quinn would replace him until he was healthy.
