The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Wednesday that the club has signed free agent LB Mark Simoneau (pronounced SIM-in-no). The club also added WR Jeremy Horne to the practice squad.

Simoneau (6-0, 245) has played in 123 games (68 starts) with New Orleans (2006-07), Philadelphia (2003-05) and Atlanta (2000-02). He has produced 525 tackles (326 solo), 7.0 sacks, one interception, 12 passes defensed, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and 51 special teams tackles. The Phillipsburg, Kansas native has seen action in seven postseason contests (four starts), registering 30 tackles (20 solo) and one pass defensed. Simoneau originally entered the NFL as a third-round selection (67th overall) of Atlanta in 2000.

Simoneau finished his career at Kansas State ranked third in school history with 400 tackles and 48.0 tackles for loss. He was a USA Today honorable mention selection as a running back and linebacker at Smith Center High School in Smith Center, Kansas.

Horne (6-2, 193) has played in three games with Kansas City in 2010 after originally joining the team as a college free agent. He saw action in 36 games (20 starts) in three seasons at Massachusetts, catching 84 passes for 1,338 yards with 11 TDs. He prepped at Milford Academy in New Berlin, New York.

The club released DE Atiyyah Ellison. Ellison was inactive last week vs. Jacksonville (10/24).

[Reerun_KC]

Hum?

[OnTheWarpath15]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)

Anyone know why he hasn't played in 3 years?

[HemiEd]

Vrabel must be hurt.

[mlyonsd]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)

Jail sentence for ripping off pencil neck's heads.

[Alton deFlat]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)


Not from the tree, but there is a 3rd degree of separation. Sean Payton and Haley worked together under Bill Parcells.

[Huffman83]

Looks like from being put on IR the past two seasons last year in the pre-season w/ a torn tricep muscle.

[MMXcalibur]

Guess we know what Atiyyah Ellison was for...

[DaneMcCloud]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)

Anyone know why he hasn't played in 3 years?

He tore his triceps last year in training camp but I don't know why he didn't play in 2008.

I'm betting this is a special teams move. The guy is 33 years old and I doubt they want him playing defense after missing three years.

[RealSNR]

PRINT.

EM.

[Monty]

My SIL knows him from their High School days in Smith Center. I'll have to inquire about a Field Pass. :D

[Lzen]

....I doubt they want him playing defense after missing three years.

I think you're forgetting to ask an important question. Did he just come off a tractor?

[Saulbadguy]

:ksu:

[HotRoute]

Horne to the PS good move

[Dante84]

EMAWesome.

[ReynardMuldrake]

The club released DE Atiyyah Ellison. Ellison was inactive last week vs. Jacksonville (10/24).
Well, that didn't last long.

[Huffman83]

Guess we know what Atiyyah Ellison was for...

KC should have signed Kawika Mitchell back for the sake of this week!

"Gimpy foot? Nah, that's not a problem. Just tell me what you know and there's 8 grand for you!..."

For Oakland?!?! Jamarcus Russel signs as the new back up NT!

[Fish]

Say hello to Mitch Holthus's new boyfriend.....

I grew up about 30 miles from Simoneau.

Super Bowl!

[Earthling]

"well the poor old dirt farmer
how bad he must feel.
he fell off his tractor
up under the wheel.

and now his head
is shaped like a tread
but he aint quite dead"

Remined me of that song...Can't remember who sang it though..

[Rain Man]

This is the most exciting news I've heard since the Attiyah Ellison signing.

[KC kid]

trying to sure up special teams.

[Chieftain58]

Mark Simoneau is my cousin!! WOOOT!

[ChiefaRoo]

Somewhere in Texas Major Applewhite just peed himself a little bit.

[DJ's left nut]

For signings this important, merely boarding the 'ship won't do.

TO THE WINGED 'SHIP!

[Hug it Out Dan]

he was good in Madden 2003 lol

[Demonpenz]

Him Studabaker and vrabel are cracker backers.

[keg in kc]

I thought the dude had retired years ago.

[Dave Lane]

Wow. Isn't he like 63?

[Dave Lane]

I think you're forgetting to ask an important question. Did he just come off a tractor?

Of course he did. He's from K State. Thats all they do there.

[ChiefMojo]

I'll be honest, Simoneau is one player I've always wanted in the Chiefs uniform. To bad it was 5-7 years ago, but the guy is 100% the type of football player you want on your team!

Probably Bill Snyder's favorite player of all-time at Kansas State and that says a lot.

Even at his age, will probably be a very good Special Teams player.

[ArrowheadHawk]

:ksu:

I remember that guy.

[Tribal Warfare]

Him Studabaker and vrabel are cracker backers.

you racist motherfucker

[mesmith31]

The Era of Andy Studebaker has begun...Vrabel now becomes the Tree Rollins of the NFL...

[ChiefaRoo]

I remember that guy.

I bet you do. He broke the fingers off KU QB's for four years.

[FAX]

Where, by the way, is Phillipsburg?

[ArrowheadHawk]

I bet you do. He broke the fingers off KU QB's for four years.

I know. I like guys like Josh Freeman better. Go on to be good players but shit the bed vs KU.

[Shogun]

Northwestern Kansas, literally in walking distance to Nebraska

[Dante84]

The coach shit on him and the entire K-state nation in general.

I still love me some JF.

[FAX]

So ... is it near Oberlin?

FAX

[Ralphy Boy]

Voyager!!!!!!!!!

[Shogun]

So ... is it near Oberlin?

FAX

I think its like 1 county away, if not its very close.

[Frosty]

Vrabel must be hurt.

Simoneau is more of a MLB, isn't he?

I agree that this is probably for special teams, as the coverage hasn't been that great lately.

[Ralphy Boy]

hasn't played since 2007....Championship!

[Brock]

What a strange move to make.

[Ralphy Boy]

Looks like his days in New Orleans with Gary Gibbs is the connection.

[Chiefs Rool]

so this guy hasn't played since 2007? I hope he kept his ass in shape

[TJR1486]

He works out at my gym, saw him like a month ago, looked to be in pretty good shape

[Mecca]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)

Anyone know why he hasn't played in 3 years?

Actually, he was recently with the Saints and Sean Peyton comes from the tree.

[Frankie]

Mark Simoneau is my cousin!! WOOOT!

PssssT! ..... Mark Simoneau is Rick Scanlon who is back under an assumed name. He is poised to carry this team to a Super Bowl win. You heard it here first.

[chiefzilla1501]

Holy shit.

We signed someone that isn't from "the tree".

(best I can tell, anyway)

Thomas Jones
Ryan Lilja
Casey Wiegmann
Anthony Torribio

And we didn't even try to get Ben Watson or Jarvis Green.

I don't think the tree argument is relevant anymore.

Todd Haley was the WR Coach on the Bears when Thomas Jones was the RB, they practically were giving each other hand jobs in the locker room after games.

Anthony Toribio was an undrafted Miami Dolphin Bill Parcells pluck in 2008


Casey Weigmann played for the Jets when OUR ENTIRE ****ING COACHING STAFF pretty much also came from that same Jets era.

Ryan Lilja is the mulligan. I'll give you him.


Like Meat Loaf once sang, 1 outta 4 aint baaaaaaaaaad

[Chieftain58]

I'm happy for him, I think he is all about being a team player.. Andy Reid said Mark was one of his favorite players to be around. Knowing Haley he will only be on the team for a week or two.. LOL... Heck he might be able to kick a couple field goals for us if Succop goes down!

Thomas Jones never played on the Bears in the same year that Haley was coaching. He started his Bears career in 2004. Haley left for Arizona in 2004. And you're using the "tree" pretty liberally if you think that in one year of coaching 13 years ago, Weis and Haley were dying to get Casey Wiegmann or that the Chiefs only brought in Torribio because he spent a fraction of an offseason in a Parcells-run team.

So what I'm hearing is that any player who has ever even touched the rosters of the Cardinals, Patriots, Browns, Dolphins, Saints, Rams, Giants, Broncos, Falcons, a lot of the Eagles (Spagnuolo), a lot of the Jets (Mangini), earlier 2000s Cowboys and Bears (Haley), and loosely... much of the Bucs (Bates), the Benglas (Bresnahan), and Steelers (John Mitchell), and Ravens (Newsome) are completely off limits? That's half the league!

[ChiefMojo]

Phillipsburg is right next to Smith Center. They are in the NC/NW part of the State. The league those teams play in is considered by many in Kansas the greatest small school football league in the State of Kansas (The Mid-Continent League). Schools like Norton, Smith Center, Stockton, Phillipsburg, Osborne, Ellis, Hill City, Plainville, and Trego County. They are all situated just north of Hays and Great Bend up to the Nebraska border. During the 80's it wasn't uncommon to see 2-3 schools from that league in the State Title game yearly. In the mid 80's they even had the 2A/3A/4A State Champs in the same year.

Of course the book "Our Boys" is about Smith Center where the Simoneau's starred at.

[Mr. Laz]

Vrabel has been struggling in pass coverage lately ... wonder if they think Simoneau can help with that?

you would think they would want someone with a little more speed for that though.

[milkman]

trying to sure up special teams.

Are you shore?

[RustShack]

Are you shore?

LMAO

[HIChief]

Vrabel must be hurt.

That's exactly what I thought

[Tylerthigpen!1!]

Fun fact about Smith Center. They won five straight state 'ships in the mid 2000's and won 80 some odd games. They passed the ball something like 5 times in that time frame. One was on a botched special teams play.

Stockton, Hill City, and Trego are 8 man though.

[spanky 52]

Maybe Simoneau is a replacement for Mays.

[grandllama]

Stockton, Hill City, and Trego are 8 man though.

They didn't used to be. When I played at Palco, those area schools were all eleven man as part of the MCL conference.

The smaller schools in the area were all 8 man and part of the Cheyenne Conference:

Palco
Kensington
Eastern Heights - doesn't exist any more
Lenora - doesn't exist any more
Logan
Morland - doesn't exist any more
Jennings - no clue what happend to them, we beat them my Sr year 97-6 in football
Northern Valley

Logan, Northern Valley, and Kensington were always vying for the state championship, and we played for it a couple of times before I got to HS

[grandllama]

North CENTRAL Kansas. Mother****er.

You want Northwest, go to Colby or Goodland.

Um, I'm from there and we always considered anything west of Beloit to be Northwest KS. I sure the hell didn't want to be clumped in with Salina (blech)

[grandllama]

So ... is it near Oberlin?

no, east of Phillipsburg on Hwy 36.

Yep, used to make the 15minute run to Nebraska on Sundays to buy beer.
