Chiefs signed Shaun Smith?

**Connie Jo** · 03-10-2010, 12:32 AM

There are Facebook posts going on within the last hour or so saying the Chiefs signed Shaun Smith...legit or rumor?

Adam Gill
I just heard a rumor that the chiefs have signed shaun smith to a contract. I did some minor research and found a twitter page with his name on it and a big arrow head as the pic.

Barry Peraino link?

about an hour ago

Joe Bates I had read a blog that they were very interested in Smith. Haven't seen where they signed him yet. He's a big DT that played for Romeo in Cleveland.

He's a talented run stuffing nose tackle (which is why he doesn't put up big stats), but he's considered one of the biggest headcases in the league, so much so that most teams don't want him. It sounds like Romeo Crennel likes him though, so maybe he's a coach that can actually get the guy under control.

We had him in for a try out last year and didn't sign him. He's the one who punched Brady Quinn in the mouth.

Then we should definitely sign him

Just saw this from Shaun Smiths Twitter 3 minutes ago:

It's a officiical am a Kansas city chief

Nothing to be too excited about, but Crennel obviously thinks he might have something.

I'm just happy that we have a new nose tackle on the roster who has had some actual success at the position before.

he's a kansas kid, he can't be that bad.

Here is his twitter page http://twitter.com/sjs91/status/10280164633 This might be the first time a player broke the news lol

I'd say that's even MORE reason to sign him!

I think he'll be good! Another big body at the Nose! It looks like he's turning things around though personally.
