Who says this regime doesn't care about former players?
Per Josh Looney of the Chiefs official site, the Chiefs signed WR Eddie Kennison.
Don't worry -- he's not lacing 'em up. He's retiring as a Chief.
"I am honored and humbled to officially conclude my NFL playing career as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs," Kennison said. "My family is extremely grateful to the Hunt family, Scott Pioli and the Chiefs organization for making this moment possible. Kansas City has a special place in our hearts, and has truly become our home. I feel very blessed to have been extended the opportunity to retire as a member the Chiefs."
Kennison, hailing from LSU, was drafted 18th overall by the Rams in the 1996 draft.
