Kelvin Benjamin signing one-year deal with Chiefs
Kelvin Benjamin's foray into free agency has been brief.
The former Buffalo Bills wide receiver is set to sign a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Benjamin was waived by the Bills on Tuesday and went unclaimed on waivers Wednesday before visiting with the Chiefs. By signing with Kansas City, Benjamin more or less ensures he'll be playing for a team bound for the postseason before hitting free agency again this offseason.
Buffalo traded a third- and seventh-round pick to the Carolina Panthers at last season's trade deadline to acquire the big-bodied receiver in hopes he could become a No. 1 target, but Benjamin struggled to adapt to his new AFC East team and on multiple occasions found himself in the headlines for reasons other than his play on the field.
Benjamin will look to turnaround his career in Kansas City, a team that has climbed to the top of the AFC with wunderkind quarterback Patrick Mahomes running the offense. Playing alongside Sammy Watkins and Travis Kelce, Benjamin could add even more fire to a third-ranked offense (437.2 yards per game) that is first in scoring (37 per game) and third in passing (316.5 YPG). Or he could be a non-factor -- much like he was in Buffalo.
The fourth-year wide receiver hasn't been the same since tearing his ACL before the start of the 2015 season following a promising rookie campaign. In Buffalo, he was plagued by drops and ineffective play at periods throughout the season. He only recorded seven receptions for 92 yards in his final four games in Western New York. He finished his Bills tenure with 39 catches for 571 yards and two touchdowns.
"At the end of the day, it didn't work for us," Bills coach Sean McDermott said.
Time will tell if Benjamin's addition to the Chiefs proves beneficial or a burden for the Kansas City's Super Bowl aspirations.

Tough crowd. Good luck KB.

Kelvin Benjamin is available [and has signed with the Chiefs]
He's already dropped 3 passes and we haven't even signed him yet.
-----------
Backup left tackle?
---------
He can hold my beer while I'm tailgating.
---------
Dip the football in ranch and he will probably go off for 12 and 250.
-----------
So maybe tape money and dip the football in buffalo wing sauce
----------
how does a wide receiver, one who's job is to run constantly, get fat?
----------
There aren't enough ribs in KC for both Benjamin and Reid.
------------
Maybe he's here to challenge andy to a BBQ eating contest?
----------
KB’s physique suggests he eats sticks of butter.
His inability to catch the ball proves the above.
---------
This sounds like one of those experiments where Andy was at Denny's last night and drew up some plays on the clean side of his napkin...

The kelvin is the primary unit of temperature measurement in the physical sciences, but is often used in conjunction with the degree Celsius, which has the same magnitude.

Interesting how Watkins didn't have those problems last year in LA ... guy just shouldn't be on a cold weather team, apparently.
