According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Kansas City Chiefs could end up hiring former Bills and Colts general manager Bill Polian as their next GM once the season is over and they move on from Scott Pioli. Longtime NFL executive Bill Polian will be exploring NFL options in 2013, sources said, and numerous NFL execs believe he could be with the Chiefs next month. As previously reported, sources said Kansas City’s embattled general manager Scott Pioli was offered a contract extension prior to the season but did not sign it, and Chiefs owner Clark Hunt is under intense pressure to retool the coaching staff and front office in 2013. Hunt is a private man and sensitive to criticism, according to many who have worked for him. Polian’s track record speaks for itself, he might be the best available general manager on the market.     Need NFL Tickets? var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('...
