Clik here to view.
The KC Star disputes the report that Pioli received an extension.
So someone somewhere started a rumor (or maybe it's true?) that GM Scott Pioli received a contract extension with the Kansas City Chiefs. I have no idea if it's true and the Chiefs apparently aren't saying either.
Just spoke to the #Chiefs and they say they do not comment on the contract status of any employees who are not players.

So Pioli may have an extension, or he might not, and the head of #Chiefs PR tells me they won't announce it either way.

The internet got ahold of this rumor a few days ago. Can anyone figure out where this rumor started? I have no idea. I feel so out of the loop.
Rumor has it, ( via Soren Petro ) that Scott Pioli has signed an extension. Thoughts?

@getnickwright someone just said that a Kietzman mentioned that Scott Pioli has received a contract extension? If so WTF?

Whitlock on 610 said he heard rumors Pioli already has a contract extension?

If the rumor is true that Scott Pioli got an extension than the world really is coming to an end in December #12/21/12

I swear if Pioli has signed an extension like the rumors are saying I may be done with the chiefs

If Scott Pioli did sign a 2 year extension this week I am done watching the Chiefs.

From the rumors I'm hearing, if Scott Pioli really got a contract extension, I am going to burn down Arrowhead!!!

#chiefs signed Pioli to a 2 year extension. 3 more years of Pioli. Cassel's extension is probably in the works now. I need a new NFL team.
