The Kansas City Chiefs are hosting the tight end carousel at Arrowhead Stadium this week. With Tony Moeaki still recovering from a torn ACL in the final preseason game of the 2011 season, the Chiefs are in need of another legitimate tight end option for 2012.

The Chiefs have scheduled TE Kevin Boss for a visit on Thursday. Boss technically became a free agent at 4:00 pm ET today.

The Chiefs were really not happy that Carlson didn't sign. They put on full court press, but could not get him to the facility.

John Carlson has reportedly signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday, and the Chiefs seemed to have set their hopes on acquiring the former Seahawk. Boss will come visit Kansas City on Thursday, and if signed could be locked in as the starter to start the season.
