After being released during the spring, Kyle Turley has signed with the Chiefs once again. After a disappointing ‘06 season — one during which he played almost 30 pounds under his typical playing weight after a two-year layoff — Turley hopes to resurrect his career. He’s still only 31 years old, relatively young for an offensive lineman, and currently weighs 302 pounds. Considering that Turley is a lean guy that weighed only 309 pounds during his prime, his current weight is a very encouraging sign. Turley will challenge Chris Terry for the starting right tackle spot. This guy was one of the best lineman in the game at one point, so I wouldn’t put much past him.

re-signing this guy is showing everyone that the chiefs still dont like what they have on the line.
but at right tackle ,…… maybe, we'll see.
It's insurance, and it comes low risk with the possibility of high reward. Why not bring him back?
Insurance, yes. but I agree with redbeard. This does not send a good message to the younger tackles (svitik, sampson, et al) about where they stand. I want to see some young guys emerge. Relying on the Chris Terry and Kyle Turleys of the world smacks of some desperation
