When defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham left the Chiefsto become the Lions defensive coordinator, it was pretty clear that he would be interested in signing one or a couple of his former Chiefs players to bring some veteran experience to the talent-thin Lions. But he made the mistake of saying it publicly.
The NFL determined that Cunningham’s comments violated the NFL’s tampering rules by saying he wanted to sign players the Chiefs dumped. As a result, the Lions will have to give up the seventh-round pick they acquired from the Broncos in theAlphonso Smith-Dan Gronkowski swap and they will have to switch fifth-round picks with the Chiefs.
The Chiefs had the 23rd pick in the fifth round and the Lions had the ninth pick, so the swap will essentially allow the Chiefs to move up half a round.
