In desperate need to upgrade their horrible defense the past few years, the Chiefs made an excellent addition to their defense with the signing of linebacker Kendrell Bell. Since 2001, Bell has played for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bell was bothered by injuries this past season and only played in three games.
"I'm doing good. I'm great," Bell said. "I can play today. I can play right now."
As a rookie in 2001, Bell made a huge impact on the league. He had 88 tackles, nine sacks, and two forced fumbles. Chiefs team president Carl Peterson is excited about the signing.
"We're pleased to acquire Kendrell's services and we think he will make an impact for the Chiefs in 2005 and beyond," Peterson said. "He's a quality football player, as well as a quality person."
