"He's been a good kicker in the league. We decided to bring him in here and see where he's at. We'd like to have a kicker opening day, and he's our kicker. We don't want to have every other week a kicking contest again."
—Kansas City Chiefs coach Herm Edwards, of signing Jay Feely to a one-year contract on Tues., Aug. 26
"We're trying to build a football team. If it's a good veteran and he fits in our system and he does what we want him to do, then that's fine. But we don't just go out and get a veteran to say we got a veteran." —Edwards, after Feely, an eight-year veteran, was cut, one day later
"I hope he at least got a free Chiefs T-shirt and gym shorts out of the deal."
—Matthew J. Darnell on his Yahoo! Sports blog, Shutdown Corner
