Discussions between the Kansas City Chiefs and Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli have intensified, according to an NFL source.
Although negotiations had not begun as of early tonight, word out of Kansas City was that the possibility of a marriage was picking up momentum.

While Pioli and the Chiefs moved closer, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has emerged as a top candidate to become the Denver Broncos head coach, according to Adam Schefter of the NFL Network.
McDaniels had a second interview with the Broncos last Thursday.

Kudos to Kansas City Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt, who has conducted one of the quietest general-manager searches the NFL has seen.
In recent days, the Chiefs have interviewed at least a half-dozen general-manager candidates, according to multiple league sources, yet only a handful of the names actually have surfaced.
Candidates interviewed include Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli, Chargers director of player personnel Jimmy Raye, former Broncos GM Ted Sundquist, former Titans GM Floyd Reese and former Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer.
League sources insist the Chiefs are waiting on Pioli, that he’s their No. 1 candidate for the job. If the two sides can’t agree on a contract, then Kansas City will be prepared to move on. But apparently it still is in talks with Pioli, though no decision is imminent.

At this time last week, in this space, it was suggested that New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was the leading candidate for the Broncos’ head-coaching job. The point is still valid, only now it’s stronger.
Broncos chief operating officer Joe Ellis spent five and a half hours in Massachusetts on Thursday night, conducting a second interview with McDaniels in which he was said to be just as impressive as he was in his first meeting with a full contingent of Denver officials.
