The Kansas City Chiefs are rumored to be in negotiations for a deal that would send Ryan Sims to the Denver Broncos for a box of Cheez-its.

Sources close to the deal reported that the Chiefs were looking to replace Sims for something worth the same value. The Chiefs would eat up (literally) about $4 in cap space for the box of Cheez-its, though they are in current talks with the league to have that cap hit drop to $2 because the box was purchased during a 2 for $4 sale.

Not all Kansas City natives are happy about the deal. Al Johnstone, a frequent shopper of the local Price Chopper, commented that the Chiefs have been raiding the local grocery stores of late. "All I wanted was a box of Cheez-its," Johnston said. "I saw Trent Green take the last box on the shelf. Trent tossed the box to a guy that looked like Samie Parker, but Samie dropped the box. I should have picked it up off the ground while I had the chance."

A player on the team reported that Cheez-its have created a positive atmosphere in the clubhouse. The team even had a few laughs at the expense of their notoriously predictable playcalling. Reportedly, Will Shields asked Herm Edwards to pass the box over to him, to which Herm cluelessly responded: "Pass the box? Shouldn't we run the ball two times first?"

Sources were unable to confirm the flavor of the Cheez-its.
