The Facts:
Talks between the Chiefs and Jets over Herm Edwards leaving New York to become the Kansas City coach have stalled, according to league sources. The compensation package that has been on the table involved the Chiefs sending fourth- and fifth-round draft picks to the Jet, but Chiefs president Carl Peterson has been reluctant to close a deal, the sources added.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Peterson's reluctance is based on his sense that Edwards is no longer welcomed in New York by Jets owner Woody Johnson, who is reportedly tired over Edwards' status. ... Indeed, NFL Network insider Adam Schefter is reporting that Edwards has already told his staff that he won't return to the Jets regardless of the outcome of negotitations between the teams.
