The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Monday that WR Eddie Kennison has signed a contract with the club. He will subsequently retire as a member of the Chiefs.

“I am honored and humbled to officially conclude my NFL playing career as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs,” Kennison said. “My family is extremely grateful to the Hunt family, Scott Pioli and the Chiefs organization for making this moment possible.

I would love to have him opposite Bowe right now in about 6-years ago condition.

KCBOSS1 · 07-19-2010, 07:23 PM

Of course we don't have anybody that could throw the ball to him except Croyle (for the 2 snaps he could stay healthy)

Mr. Arrowhead · 07-20-2010, 12:06 PM

I'm just saying there really aren't any other players out there that the chiefs would even interested in at this point, except maybe TO, but lets not even go there. Unless someone gets hurt, which hopefully does not happen, I dont really see any new signings at this point of the year.

**RealSNR** · 07-20-2010, 01:04 PM

I look at the quality player that Kennison was and it makes me hate those Dick Vermeil teams even more for being such big fat teases. I actually believed that 2003 team was destined for history.

It's a shame he never got a ring with us.

KCBOSS1 · 07-20-2010, 03:58 PM

Man, I miss the Vermeil, Green, Holmes, Kennison, Gonzales, Roaf, Waters, Richardson days. ahhh. With a defense theywould have won at least 1 superbowl. That was so fun. Other teams had to put up 40 to beat us. Problem was, they did. That was the era that I saw my first game in, after 20 years of wanting so badly to go to Arrowhead.

KCBOSS1 · 07-20-2010, 04:00 PM

I still get irritated when I remember the planeteers doggin on Vermeil his last few years.

Brock · 07-20-2010, 04:43 PM

Considering Dick built half of a team, he probably deserves every bit of it.

KCBOSS1 · 07-20-2010, 04:52 PM

Vermeil had every intention of building the defense, but Carl bullied the draft. Vermeil was lobbying for defense when Carl drafted Johnson

Brock · 07-20-2010, 05:00 PM

Yes, I am sure Tyler Brayton would have put that defense over the top.
