Chiefs' Offensive Coordinator Chan Gailey believes that a healthy Brodie Croyle can be the team's franchise quarterback, according to The Kansas City Star. ?There?s no question in my mind he can be that guy,? Gailey said emphatically. ?There?s no question.? ?I really like the offense,? Croyle said Thursday. ?I?m very comfortable, surprisingly. The reads are pretty clear right now for us." ?It?s a pretty simple offense. It?s giving guys the chance to go out and play, not a whole lot of thinking about it, just go out and line up and go.?

Larry Johnson took a swing pass, dodged a defender, and ran 50 yards downfield during a team workout on Tuesday, as reported by the Associated Press. But the foot injury that shelved the Chiefs' star running back the final eight games last season seemed fully healed.

The Chiefs added depth to their secondary Tuesday, agreeing to terms with cornerbacks Will Poole and Jason Horton, as reported by Yahoo.com. Terms of the deals were not disclosed.

The Chiefs will go relatively easy on running back Larry Johnson during practices this offseason, according to a report in The Kansas City Star. He missed eight games with a broken foot in 2007. The team's practices begin on Monday, with coach Herm Edwards expected to bring him along slowly in order to preserve his health. "We?ll bring him along slowly," Edwards said. "We?re not going to beat him up. We?re not going to rush him a whole lot. We want to see where he?s at." "He?s been running straight and he?s been doing all of that for a long time, but as far as cutting and football things like that, we want to limit him some."

The Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs appear interested in the services of recently-released wide receiver Koren Robinson, according to The NFL Network. The Packers tried to trade Robinson before they released him over the weekend, and both the Raiders and Chiefs showed interest in the pass-catcher.
