Chiefs Sign Bennett
K.C. Chiefs Training Camp Daily Updates

In a press conference this morning, Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced the acquisition of running back Michael Bennett from the New Orleans Saints. Because the Saints signed running back Reggie Bush, the Saints exchanged Bennett for a Chiefs 2007 undisclosed draft choice.

Peterson said that Bennett will upgrade the quality and depth of the football team. "As a former No. 1 draft choice he brings quality and experience to the Chiefs and he is still a young running back. Michael has had a 1,000-yard rushing season and has been to a Pro Bowl. He will be utilized to back up Larry Johnson and be involved in our group of running backs as soon as he arrives in camp."

Peterson said that running back Priest Holmes is still on physically unable to perform list. Holmes visited the doctor last week and has still not been cleared for contact. If Holmes does recover from his injury in time for the season, Peterson said that Holmes will be welcomed back to the Chiefs.
