The Chiefs have signed 29-year old WR Jerheme Urban. Urban played for Coach Haley in Arizona and that shows that he likes him. Urban played in 10 games for the Cardinals last season and he has caught 18 passes for 186 yards (10.3 avg). He has now played in 47 games in his NFL career in which he has caught 87 passes for 1,231 yards (14.1 avg) with 7 TD grabs. Look for him to be the Chiefs #3 or #4 WR in 2010.
The Chiefs have signed 28-year old, 6′2″, 325 pound DT Shaun Smith to a 1-year deal. Smith played in 3 games for the Bengals last season in which he made 8 tackles. Smith has played in 63 games in his NFL career in which he has made 152 tackles, defensed 4 passes, has 2 sacks and he has forced 2 fumbles. This was a smart, low risk/high reward signing for the Chiefs.
The Chiefs have signed 31-year old running back Thomas Jones to a 2-year, $5 million dollar deal with another possible $500K in incentives. Jones played in all 16 games for the Jets last season and he carried the ball 331 times for 1,402 yards (4.2 ypc) with 14 TD runs. He also caught 10 passes for 58 yards (5.8 avg) last year. Jones has now played in 148 games in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 2,280 times for 9,217 yards (4.0 ypc) with 62 TD grabs. He also caught 289 passes for 1,858 yards (6.4 avg) with 3 TD grabs in his career. This was a outstanding signing for the Chiefs who now have an awesome tandem at RB set for the 2010 and 2011 seasons with Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones.
The Chiefs have re-signed 31-year old WR Chris Chambers to a 3-year, $15 million dollar deal with $5.9 million bucks in guarantees. Chambers played in 9 games for the Chiefs last season in which he caught 36 passes for 608 yards (16.9 avg) with 4 TD grabs. He has now played in 140 games in his NFL career and he has caught 518 passes for 7,435 yards (14.4 avg) with 57 TD grabs. Chambers also carried the ball 44 times for 373 yards (8.5 ypc) in his career. This was a good move for the Chiefs as Chambers played very well for them last season.
