Mike Sando on KOC Rumors

I also believe that KAM has contemplated trading for Andy Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce/Swift as a combo trade for a guaranteed SB. He just needs to figure out how many buildings the Wilfs need to sell and if it's considered trafficking if they come from Kansas City, to make this trade happen. Somebody let a "Senior Writer" know GMs have this on the table.

With what KOC is doing with QBs, of course teams will want to have him. That is an organization wish is to have coaches that do well with QBs. Considering that they will make or break any organization, staff, and team as a whole.

KOC's agent is wise. Send out the signal teams want to trade for him. KOC is good.. but traded?? Come on man, you got Mossed!

So of you are a HC, why would you want to be traded to a franchise that is likely in trouble ( why dont they already have a HC if they arent in trouble?) And now they will be missing some premium draft picks the next few years to help you get them back to looking like a real franchise.

This just doesnt make much sense IMO for KOC to ever accept such a fate. Also why would a team trade for him when they can just give his agent terms for their offer as soon as he is available, i dont think FA rules apply to coaches do they?

I think there is some tampering rules for coaches, so you can't talk to a coach before they're fired.  I don't know why they wouldn't just wait until they were fired.  Payton and Arians make sense, they retired while still being under contract.  Like were the Jets really going to keep Herm Edwards, but a 4th rounder was enough to get the deal done? 

Only thing that really makes sense is that KOC's agent is stoking the fire to up his price a bit.
