Chiefs sign Griffin, Gammon to one-year deals

March 17, 2006

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Denver running back Quentin Griffin Friday, giving Larry Johnson a veteran backup if Priest Holmes decides to retire.

Griffin appeared in 16 games his first two seasons with the Broncos, rushing for 656 yards and two touchdowns and catching 18 passes for 129 yards. He went to training camp in 2005 but was released before the regular season.


Holmes has not decided whether to return in 2006 after suffering a spinal injury following a helmet-to-helmet hit in a game Oct. 30 against the San Diego Chargers.

The Chiefs also announced a one-year contract with tight end Kendall Gammon, who was selected to the 2004 Pro Bowl as a long snapper but missed the final six games last season with a leg injury.

Gammon had played in 218 consecutive games to begin his 14-year career, spent with the Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints.

He would have complimented Jordan nicely as a back up.

Yeah I watched the game from the 2004 opener. He ran all over our Defense. He should be a good change of pace from the Power of LJ. He's a quick scat back like Holmes only fresher and younger. BTW, I didn't mean to put this in the smack forum , so I apoligize if it annoys anyone.
