Chiefs Officially Sign Former CFL WR Weston Dressler from Chiefs Spin

After reports emerged from Canada on Jan. 30 of popular Canadian Football League star Weston Dressler signing with the Chiefs, there's finally official confirmation via Tuesday's NFL Transaction report.

The Chiefs added wide receiver depth by signing Dressler to a free-agent contract.

"The Chiefs, they were really active coming after Weston, which was pretty nice," Dressler's agent, Justin Seurer, said during a Tuesday afternoon phone interview. "He's excited for the opportunity to start playing, get into camp, start learning the system and see what he can do to help."

Kansas City Chiefs Want Alex Smith More Than 2 Years from NFL.com

The Kansas City Chiefs' late-season collapse can't be blamed on Alex Smith.

After taking a backseat to Jamaal Charles in the first half of the season, Smith raised his game to compensate for a defense that lost its backbone down the stretch.

Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt essentially confirmed an early January report that the organization will make a long-term commitment to Smith, whose contract is due to expire after the 2014 season.

Hunt Talks About Alex Smith from ESPN

Smith had a solid first season for the Chiefs, throwing for 3,313 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushing for 431 yards. He has some room for improvement, such as his completion percentage. He completed 60.6 percent of his passes, which was 20th in the league.

As Hunt pointed out, there's reason to believe better things are ahead for Smith and the Chiefs' offense. Smith and his teammates were in the first year of coach Andy Reid's system, and the Chiefs went 11-5 and earned a wild-card berth.

On The Other Hand, Should Chiefs Draft A QB? from ESPN

Would it be better for the Chiefs to throw numbers at the quarterback position rather than sink a ton of money for the long term into Smith? For those who have ESPN Insider access, Ron Jaworski suggests it might be a good idea for the Chiefs to draft a quarterback in an early round this year and groom him as Smith's successor.

There's merit to this idea. The Chiefs would then have four quarterbacks from which to choose next season: Smith, veteran backup Chase Daniel, developmental prospect Tyler Bray and a rookie.

Greatest Defenses Of Super Bowl Era from Sports Illustrated

1969 Kansas City Chiefs: Perhaps their place in the AFL has limited the '69 Chiefs in the "greatest ever" placement. Of course, as already mentioned, this team whipped Minnesota in Super Bowl IV, holding the Vikings to 239 yards of offense in a 23-7 win. That was par for the course that season; the Chiefs led the AFL in defense at 177 points allowed over 14 games.

Five members of this defense went on to claim spots in Canton: Emmitt Thomas, Johnny Robinson, Willie Lanier, Jim Lynch and Bobby Bell. Thomas and Robinson combined for 17 interceptions during the '69 season. Just two teams all season, counting the playoffs, managed to hit the 300-yard mark against the K.C. defense.
