PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs worked out two defensive tackles today according to Bill Williamson of ESPN.com. Shaun Smith and Terdell Sands could both be used as depth behind Ron Edwards.
Sands should be familiar to Chiefs fans. He was drafted by the Chiefs in the seventh round of the 2001 draft. He spent time with the Green Bay Packers and Oakland Raiders. He spent three weeks on the New England Patriots this season.
He is listed at 6'8", 355 pounds and is 29 years old (for only another four days).
Smith was a UDFA with the Dallas Cowboys in 2003. He also played for the Arizona Cardinals, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns.
He is the guy that reportedly punched Brady Quinn in a locker room fight last year with the Browns.
He is listed at 6'2", 325 pounds and is 28 years old.
Williamson reports that the Chiefs don't necessarily have any plans to sign either one at this time. It's possible they were just keeping up on players that are out there.

these are the guys
that everyone on this site wanted to see brought in instead of Kenny Smith, I’m guessing…
* "I doubt anyone will miss Connor Barth except UCrawford"
* the LB corps may become the biggest strength of the Chiefs in 2009
* The OL is NOT as bad as you think it is... give it time, and you'll see improvement this season
Maybe Shaun Smith
Sands on the other hand…
He spent three weeks on the New England Patriots this season.
;)
Apologies if that's out of line
I intended it as a friendly jab at the “Pioli only signs Patriots rejects” crowd but in retrospect it just seems unnecessary. Sorry.
Stag
Remember Zach Potter from Nebraska……he is listed as a TE now on Jaguars PS…..thats crazy. He looked like a good DE prospect.

I do remember him!
he’d be a great athlete to snag

Umm...
maybe they should work out some OFFENSIVE linemen? I realize we are damn near dead last in offense and defense this season, but I really feel our offense is the biggest issue with this team.
It’s possible they are working some out. I wouldn’t be surprised to find they’ve worked out more players than we’ve heard about.
I don’t remember reading anything about Kenny Smith working out before they signed him.
Possibly
Possibly because no one knew who Kenny Smith was.
maybe since we didn't pick up any o linemen
we are working these guys out for oline?

couldnt help myself
i had to snicker when i read “3 weeks as a New England Patriot”
A man who says he can, and a man who says he can't are both right. Which one are you?
New England's back gate is the Chiefs
That is… The back gate to the pasture.
Sands def.
has the size… but if at 6 8 and 355 you haven’t been productive by now…. It’s probably not going to happen.
Yep
That’s pretty much it. He’s been in the league for nine years so you pretty know what you’ve got (and that’s probably declining skills).

Hey, how about that.
I had suggested Terdell Sands several days ago. I had pointed out that his best year was better than Edwards best as far as tackles, and more recent. Look up his stats and compare. The Chiefs had Sands his first year.
You beat me to it
Meanwhile the hunt for the right 22 off the street contunues
