Cardinals exploring joint workouts with Chiefs

The Arizona Cardinals will be in Kansas City on August 10 for a
preseason match-up with the Chiefs and a week before that, they’ll be in
nearby Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame game. So, presumably, it would
be convenient for the team to stay in the Midwest for that week long
period.
According to the
St. Joe Channel, members of the Cardinals staff have visited
Missouri Western State University, located in St. Joseph Missouri, where the
Chiefs hold training camp. They are in discussion with the Chiefs and
Missouri Western to hold joint workout sessions with the team during that
time period.
The deal is by no means done, the Cardinals staff took photos and videos
of the
facilities and are now going to evaluate their options with the rest of the
team in
Arizona. It’s then up to them to decide whether or not to go through with
the
deal.
The joint training camp sessions are something the Chiefs have done in the
past; they used to travel to Wisconsin to workout with the Minnesota
Vikings,
but haven’t since 2010.
If a deal were to be reached, the Cardinals would be responsible for facility
and dorm rental as well as other financial obligations.
