Scott Pioli, who helped build the New England Patriots' dynasty, may have a second suitor among teams looking for general managers.
Pioli, 43, was scheduled to meet with Kansas City Chiefs' owner and board chairman Clark Hunt, possibly Monday, people with knowledge of the meeting told the Associated Press. They requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak for Pioli.
The vice president for player personnel at New England, Pioli is close to Patriots coach Bill Belichick and has been with the Patriots for nine years. He's also been courted by the Cleveland Browns for their GM vacancy and met with Browns owner Randy Lerner last week in New York.
Coaching developments
• Former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel is among the candidates the St. Louis Rams could interview for their head coaching vacancy this week.

Grimm will join Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, and Jets offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and assistant head coach/offensive line coach Bill Callahan as candidates who have interviewed to replace the fired Eric Mangini.

The star running back isn't sure if a week's worth of treatment and rest is going to be enough to allow him to play.
''I don't know. It's tough,'' Tomlinson said after the Chargers' light workout on Monday. ''This is a tough injury. I would probably venture to say it's probably the toughest of my career. We'll see what happens.''
Extra points
The New England Patriots plan to put the franchise tag on quarterback Matt Cassel, according to a published report. Cassel's future hinges heavily on Tom Brady's recovery from a season-ending knee injury in the first game this season. Franchising Cassel would keep him from becoming an unrestricted free agent and give the Patriots an option if they feel Brady might not be ready for the

I think that Tomlinson is getting soft. He won't play hurt like the GREAT ONES have in the past. I watched him 2 weeks ago and he ran like a Dear. Now he's hurt. Stay hurt, you're getting traded....
