Kansas City Chiefs Add To Defensive Line Depth With Amon Gordon Signing

by Chris Thorman on Aug 6, 2011 1:53 PM CDT in Kansas City Chiefs Training Camp 2011

The Kansas CIty Chiefs added to their roster today by signing DL Amon Gordon, a journeyman defensive lineman who was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He has played for seven NFL teams previously.

He made his only four starts with the Denver Broncos in 2007 and hasn't done much else outside of that.

This addition could be related to Glenn Dorsey's apparent injury on Thursday, which Joel discussed earlier today, but we're not sure.

Gordon makes the 85th member of the Kansas City Chiefs 2011 roster and the 13th defensive linemen the Chiefs have.

Joel just tweeted out that Goron may be on the field already, so we make get a quick preview of his skills this afternoon.

"Joel just tweeted out that Goron may be on the field already"

He looks pretty stout from what I’ve seen. I heard he eats rocks too.

It takes a pretty particular set of circumstances

So when the opportunity hits, you gotta jump on it.

My only regret is that I have but one rec to give for this comment.

"[Jamaal Charles] probably fights crime in his spare time while inhaling carbon emissions, exhaling oxygen, and crapping oil. That’s how awesome he is. Not just good for the Chiefs, but America."

He might make a better coach, actually. He'd be really good at figuring out opposing teams.

Eating rocks is ok.....

Long as he craps diamond studded Superbowl Rings!

...the fair-weather fan seldom comprehends the value of faith or will combined with the requirements necessary of goal accomplishment: attention to a plan's details, personal fortitude developed from a consistent quality work ethic, and strengthening of character and faith, are all sweaty, time-consuming, attributes which "the sky is falling" fair-weather fan interprets as rain on their parade...

Journeyman D Line guy

In and out of the NFL

Used to play on CLE

Wonder if Romeo can concoct a Shaun Smith v 2.0?

The Chiefs and I have mutually agreed on this decision and although I look forward to continuing my career, I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Kansas City.

This will be Dorsey's replacement...

….and Pioli will trade Glenn to a 4-3 team. Oh….Tyson Jackson is a bust, JC is to small to be a RB, players won’t ‘play’ for Haley, Matt Cassel is a below average QB, Bowe can’t catch anyting, and Pioli would never take a Saftey with the a 1st round draft pick. (Just wanted to get all of this out of the way).
