Kansas City Chiefs
Coach Edward’s roster transition began to take full form by the start of the 2007 season. Trent Green was traded to the Miami Dolphins, leaving the door open for either Damon Huard or second-year quarterback Brodie Croyle to take the starting job. After starting the season 4-3, the Chiefs lost the remaining 9 games when Larry Johnson suffered a season-ending foot injury and the quarterback position lacked stability with Huard and Croyle. No matter how much the Chiefs lacked in 2007, tight end Tony Gonzalez broke Shannon Sharpe’s NFL record for touchdowns at the position (63) and defensive end Jared Allen led the NFL in quarterback sacks with 15.5.
