Chiefs Sign Another Defensive End

Prod_medium

Trevor Johnson's Chiefs number is 75 but for some reason. NFL.com won't allow you to customize a jersey to say that.

From the mothership, whose off-season output is up there with anyone, blog or traditional media.

Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Thursday that the club has agreed to terms of a one-year contract with DE Trevor Johnson. As per Chiefs policy, no other terms of the agreements were made available.

Johnson (6-5, 260) has appeared in 38 games as a defensive end, producing 49 tackles (27 solo) and a sack (-11.0 yards). He appeared in 12 games with St. Louis in 2007, registering 11 tackles (seven solo) and a sack (-11.0 yards). Prior to joining the Rams, Johnson spent portions of the 2006 campaign with both New Orleans and the N.Y. Jets. He appeared in one game for the Saints, registering four tackles. He originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round draft pick (224th overall) of the N.Y. Jets in 2004. In three seasons (2004-2006) with the Jets he played in 25 games, recording 34 tackles (17 solo). He also played in two playoff games with the Jets in 2004, collecting three tackles.

The Lincoln, Nebraska native appeared in 46 contests (22 starts) at Nebraska, finishing with 131 tackles (54 solo), 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and three passes defensed. A collegiate defensive end, Johnson earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors as a senior in 2003 after leading the defensive front with 68 tackles (37 solo) and nine tackles for loss. Johnson prepped at Lincoln Northeast High School in Lincoln, Nebraska.

what the hell are theys signing another defensive end for? if Turk is surprising them, Brian Johnston is constantly in the backfield, and Hali is getting past Albert 2 out of every 10 chances (est.) then why? wasn’t Dingle impressing the coaches? and Boone playing on the line???

this confuses me. why sign a lackluster guy when youre probably going to release him in like two months?

The more

bodies the better is how I think Herm sees it. Bring this guy in, see how the others stack up to him. See if he’s hungry enough to make it.

have you seen my baseball?

You don't set your roster by OTAs

The Chiefs will probably carry 3 DEs into the season and have at least one on the practice squad. Just because Johnston and Dingle are fan favorites does not lock them a position. Reality check. Johnston was a 7th round pick and Dingle went undrafted. Their jobs are not secure.

OTAs and minicamp mean NOTHING about the regular season. They dont even have pads on and half the guys are just trying not to get hurt instead of playing like they would in a game. So dont fall in love with these guys that might end up flopping when the real competitive games get going.
