[i]There are indications that the Chiefs are interested in re-signing veteran defensive end Leslie O'Neal. The Chiefs have been in contact with O'Neal's agent, and the sides were working toward agreement on a contract.

Asked whether the Chiefs and O'Neal would reach a deal soon, coach Gunther Cunningham said: "I can't tell you that right now."

The Chiefs recently released O'Neal from his contract. The Chiefs slashed his salary for the season from $3 million to $440,000, and O'Neal didn't report for any of the off-season workouts or training camp.

If he can strike a deal with the Chiefs, O'Neal would have the third-most career sacks of any active player. O'Neal has 1321/2 sacks. Only Carolina's Reggie White and Washington's Bruce Smith have more.[/i]

Also an update on the kicking situation. It would be nice to get another pass rushing weapon out there. Parten's highly expendable to make room for him. <P>
