Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Wednesday that the club has agreed to terms of a three-year contract with T Travis Leffew. The Chiefs also agreed to terms on a one-year contract with LB Mickey Pimentel, who was added to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreements were made available. The Chiefs also announced the addition of QB Jeff Otis to the practice squad.

Leffew (6-3, 292) originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent with Chicago in 2006 and attended training camp, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He later joined Green Bay’s practice squad before signing with the Dallas Cowboys on November 21, 2006 and remained on that club’s active roster for four weeks. Leffew attended training camp with Green Bay in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. He also spent time on Atlanta’s practice squad this year.

The Lexington, Kentucky native started all 50 games of his career at Louisville, earning first-team All-Big East honors as a senior in 2005. Leffew prepped at Boyle County High School in Danville, Kentucky.

Pimentel (5-11, 235) originally joined the Chiefs as a member of the practice squad on December 12th. He entered the NFL with Carolina as a rookie free agent in 2007 and attended training camp with the Panthers, but was released prior to the start of the regular season. Pimentel appeared in 25 games (nine starts) in two seasons at California, totaling 98 tackles (48 solo), 18.5 tackles for loss (-69.0 yards), 8.0 sacks (-47.0 yards), three interceptions and a touchdown. He transferred to Cal from Pima (AZ) Community College and prepped at Marian Catholic High School in San Diego, California.

Otis (6-2, 198) originally entered the NFL as a rookie free agent in 2006 with the Arizona Cardinals, spending training camp with that club before being released prior to the start of the regular season. He helped lead the Frankfurt Galaxy of NFL Europa to a World Bowl title in 2006, completing 48 of 91 passes for 560 yards and four touchdowns. Otis attended training camp with Oakland in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the regular season.

Otis finished his collegiate career at Columbia ranked second in school annals in both passing yards (4,666) and completions (429). He is the son of former NFL running back Jim Otis and prepped at Christian Brothers High School in St. Louis, Missouri.

Wonder who was released?
