Chiefs sign another DB

Former Texans DB Jacques Reeves

The Kansas City Chiefs have confirmed the signing of yet another Defensive Back. Jacques Reeves formerly of the Dallas Cowboys and most recently the Houston Texans. Reeves suffered a broken leg in 2009 and has been out of the NFL since. The former Purdue Boilermaker was originally a 7^th round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in the 2004 NFL Draft. He played with the Cowboys through the 2007 season before spending the next two seasons in Houston.

Via KCChiefs.com:

Reeves (5-11, 188) has seen action in 88 games (35 starts) with 164 tackles (146 solo), six interceptions returned for 145 yards, 45 passes defensed, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He has 25 career special teams tackles and has returned 13 kickoffs for 199 yards (15.3 avg.).

This is a low risk bottom of the roster type of signing for Chiefs. Seems to be just a roster filler and an attempt to catch lightning in the bottle. I definitely don’t for see Reeves doing anything of note and would even be surprised if he made the final 53. What makes this move curious is Brandon Carr has yet to be signed, but another player in the same position group has been inked. At least Pioli and Co. are continuing to be aggressive after FA’s. I would just prefer that we had signed a bigger and proven contributor (Bowe, Carr, Belcher, McClain, etc).
