Chiefs sign veteran safety Mike Brown
The Kansas City Chiefs have signed former Bears safety Mike Brown.
Chiefs pick up veteran safety Mike Brown - Kansas City Star.
I think this is a good move. Scott Pioli is upgrading the talent at every position and creating competition. Bringing in the 31 year old safety should be good for Jarrad Page and Bernard Pollard.
Here are Mike Brown’s career stats: (via nfl.com)

Although durability is probably Brown’s biggest issue, now the Chiefs have three starting caliber safties. You can never have too much talent, right?

Chiefs sign Ryan Succop and agree to terms with Colin Brown
The Chiefs have officially started signing their 2009 NFL draft picks and the last player taken overall is the first one.
Chiefs Sign Seventh-Round Pick K Ryan Succop
Succop (6-2, 218) joined the Chiefs as the third of the club’s three seventh-round selections (256th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. He played in 50 games at South Carolina, connecting on 49 of 69 field goals (71.0%) with a career-long of 55 yards. He also converted 104 PATs and racked up a total of 251 points, the second-highest total in school history. He added 69 touchbacks on 192 kickoffs. He served as the punter during his sophomore and junior seasons, punting 85 times for 3,597 yards (42.3 avg.) with 22 inside the 20 and three touchbacks.
Succop played in 13 games as a senior in 2008, earning honorable mention All-Southeastern Conference honors. He connected on 20 of 30 field goals (66.7%), leading the SEC in both made FGs and FG attempts. He converted all 30 of his PATs for 90 total points.
From what I have heard Succop has a really strong leg, as in he has 60 range, but the problem is it may not go 60 yards straight. So, the Chiefs have to decide if they want distance or accuracy because I highly doubt they will carry two kickers.
Also, Chiefs 5th round draft pick Colin Brown has reportedly agreed to terms with the Chiefs but no contract has been signed (that we know about). Via Scout.com
The Kansas City Chiefs have reached a contract agreement with fifth-round pick OT Colin Brown, Scout.com has confirmed. According to a league source, it’s a three-year deal worth nearly $1.34 million with a signing bonus of close to $154,000.
The former University of Missouri offensive lineman lined up at right tackle during the team’s OTA practices.
Possible replacement forDamion McIntosh? Only time will tell.
Well, there you have it Chiefs fans, any thoughts? Who do you think the next player to sign with the team will be?

Chiefs have signed somebody, but who?
So the Kansas City Chiefs have apparently signed someone that is worth having a news conference over.
The Chiefs have signed somebody, but right now it’s a mystery | Red Zone.
The Chiefs have scheduled a 4:30 p.m. news conference today to announce the signing of a player. In keeping with the team’s offseason theme, that player’s identity for now remains a secret.
We all know the Chiefs have a lot of needs, with offensive line, wide reciever, linebacker, and pass rusher being amoung the more pressing. To me this would sugguest players such as Orlando Pace, Torry Holt, maybe Bobby Engram. Also, Jason Taylor is still out on the market I believe.
So, what do you think Chiefs fans? Who will the Chiefs annouce as the newest member of their team? My money would be on Pace.

Kansas City Chiefs Agree to Terms with DE Jason Babin, add LB to PS
The Chiefs have added a former first round DE to the mix. At this point I am just hoping that he is serviceable.
- Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Wednesday that the club has agreed to terms of a one-year contract with DE Jason Babin. No other terms of the agreement were made available.
Babin (6-3, 260) has seen action in 47 games (22 starts) with Houston (2004-06) and Seattle (2007-08). He has registered 147 tackles (100 solo), 13.0 sacks (-85.0 yards), two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and a pair of fumble recoveries. Babin played in two games for Seahawks this season. The Kalamazoo, Michigan native was originally a first-round pick (27th overall) of Houston in the 2004 NFL Draft.
The Western Michigan product finished his collegiate career with 38.0 sacks and 75.0 tackles for loss, both school records. Babin played in 47 games (25 starts) for the Broncos, producing 299 tackles, eight forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and three receptions for 35 yards. He also blocked three punts. Babin was a first-team all-conference selection as a senior at Paw Paw High School in Paw Paw, Michigan.

Chiefs add LB Kyle Shotwell to Practice Squad
- Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Wednesday that the club has added LB Kyle Shotwell to its practice squad. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreement were made available.
Shotwell (6-0, 232) originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Oakland in 2007. He attended training camp with the Raiders, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He spent the final five contest of the 2007 campaign on Philadelphia’s practice squad before signing with Indianapolis in the offseason. Shotwell attended training camp with the Colts in 2008, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He has spent time on the practice squads of both Minnesota and Tampa Bay in 2008.
The Santa Barbara, California native was selected as the Buck Buchanan Award winner as a senior in 2006, an award given to the top defensive player in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). He finished his collegiate career at Cal Poly SLO ranked second in school history with 392 tackles, while logging 45.5 tackles for loss and 17.0 sacks. He prepped at Dos Pueblos High School in Santa Barbara, California.
And lastely these are some ramblings that I hear going around:
Jackie Battle went back to the practice squad when LJ was activated.
Brian Johnston went to IR to make room for Babin.
Ingle Martin was resigned to the practice squad as well
Good luck to our newest Chiefs.
