Afternoon everyone. I want to apologize for how slow things have been around here today. My company moved offices and I have not had access to a computer for most of the morning. I appear to be up and running and I will do my best to get everyone caught up. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

Just before the start of OTA’s today, the Chiefs added 3 new players. From KCChiefs.com:

"Kansas City was awarded a waiver claim placed on TE Leroy Banks (Atlanta) and signed of two rookie free agents – DB Andre Jones (Arkon) and DL Jeffrey Fitzgerald (Kansas State). Banks was also an undrafted free agent (Southern Miss), originally signing with the Falcons shortly after the draft concluded in April.Both Jones and Fitzgerald took part in the Chiefs rookie mini-camp two weeks ago on a tryout basis. They represent the second and third players signed from that weekend’s workouts that originally entered the camp without contracts (WR David Grimes was the first of the tryout players to sign on May 4th).With the Chiefs roster now sitting at 85 players, Kansas City still has the ability to add up to three more players so long as each of the seven 2010 draft picks remain unsigned and S Jarrad Page not sign his tender. Those eight players do not count against the NFL’s roster maximum of 80 players since they are not currently under contract. The Chiefs will begin this morning’s OTA with 77 players under contract."
