Chiefs Sign Justin Houston And A Few Other Odds And Ends (Updated)

Home » Chiefs » Chiefs Sign Justin Houston And A Few Other Odds And Ends (Updated)

A few quick Chiefs notes for you this afternoon.

Justin Houston has finally signed with the Chiefs. Earlier today 610′s Bob Fescoe reported that for some reason Houston’s agent didn’t want him to sign until the new league year started meaning the new CBA would have to be approved. It has been and sure enough shortly there after the Chiefs and Houston agreed on a deal. Reports are saying that it was a 4 year, 2.786 million dollar deal.

I’m glad Houston is signed and hopefully this was just some strange agent thing and not a sign that Houston still has some “issues” (fingers crossed).

Also, the Chiefs announced today that they have signed former Bucs safety Sabby Piscitelli. I don’t know much about him, but my guess is that he was brought in for depth and special teams play.

Finally, just a happy FYI that Tamba Hali signed his paperwork and passed his physical and is already at the Chiefs practice this afternoon.

UPDATE: Just read that Gregg Rosenthall from Pro Football Talk listed the Chiefs as one of his four top teams that he likes in terms of what they’ve done in free agency. How quickly things change, huh?

Looks like another good day in Chiefs land.

Pollard clashed with Haley but was very good.

@LyleGraversen SD was getting long in the tooth anyway. This may force them to get younger in a hurry, that is bad for us. Let they get old and slower with age in peace.

Happy to have Houston in the house. Hoping Glenn Dorsey is alright.

Man I hope his late signing is a result of a dumba** greedy agent and not Houston coming out the gate trying to be a diva as a baked 3rd round pick

@GarrettJohnson But Pollard was good... and was a great power tackler

GarrettJohnson

@LyleGraversen@kyleomara as far as Sabby, he reminds me ALOT of Pollard. He can't really cover, and hes an ok tackler.

Hearing things like this makes you realize how important the re-signings were last year. Gotta hand it to chiefs brass, Very little lost compared to the rest of the division. @LyleGraversen

A little competition is never a bad thing. @LyleGraversen @kyleomara

Not directly Chiefs new, but the Chargers just lost WR Legadu Naane to the Panthers. Malcolm Flloyd is still a FA, if they lose him too after already losing Sproles they may be a little short handed.

@Celtks I did hear that he walked on his own over to the cart, so it can't be THAT bad (knocks on wood).

Let's hope Houston makes up for lost time. EEK, reports that Dorsey was carted off in practice, hope that's not a biggie.

@merlin_AA Keep in mind, something like 900 players are going to be cut between now and the start of the season. I don't think it's impossible that Pioli could find one guy out of those 900 that could still make an impact for us. Maybe not a big flashy name, but a key role player type.

I would not mind a vet OT signed, but the Chiefs are pretty much done adding significant pieces.

@kyleomara Yeah, I've done a little checking and by all reports the guy is really weak in coverage. Sounds like he's either just a camp body or maybe someone to challenge guys like Langford and Washington for the 4th safety/ST player spot.

Sabby Stinks! I live in Orlando and unfortunately have to deal with buc games. He was terrible for them. I hope he can do much better in KC. They must see something in him
