From the Land of the Free and the Home of the Chiefs, with two-man coverage of the Red and Gold,

this is the Lockton Chiefs Podcast, Part of the Lockton Podcast Network.

Welcome back to another episode of Lockton Chiefs.

This is your episode for Wednesday and we have a fantastic guest in Eric Eager from PFF he will be coming at you shortly but

first let's get to the news for today. What news?

A rather disappointing news to be honest.

Yeah, it's a hard pill to take right?

I mean we knew it was coming but doesn't mean that we had to like it.

I honestly I expected it to be a, you know,

we couldn't come to terms on an acceptable salary.

I did not expect to see what we heard on Tuesday about Derek Johnson.

Well, I mean, it makes sense.

They want to go a different direction.

They want to go younger.

I think that actually kind of plays well, because I think that means that there's many more moves to come.

I think that's why they let him go now. But I also think that this probably also means that you can

kiss any chance of dust and

coal quit coming back goodbye. I have to agree with you. I and and folks just so

we don't miss words. Derek Johnson is not going to be a chief in 2018.

It's not going to be a situation where he tests the market, quote unquote,

and finds that there's maybe not as much money out there for him in terms of interest.

Which is the way a lot of people were... money out there for him in terms of interest.
