kcchief4lif 910 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The Kansas City Chiefs have some roster moves coming. They have 52 players on the active roster after De'Anthony Thomas was placed on the NFI list. They have yet to fill that roster spot but we have this from free agent defensive tackle Alameda Ta'amu. I would guess this is a practice squad signing, which could suggest the Chiefs are bringing someone up from the practice squad to fill that 53rd spot on the roster before Saturday's game in Houston. The Chiefs haven't made this signing official. Ta'amu, 6'3 and 355 pounds, is a former Washington Huskie (hey, Marcus Peters!) who was drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also spent some time with the Cardinals. Revenge of the Birds writes that he was a good player in 2013 and a "big reason" the Cardinals were good against the run. However, he tore his ACL and never came back to form. He also has a bit of an unfortunate history. The Chiefs also signed OT Reid Fragel to the practice squad on Monday. http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2016/1/5/10715202/free-agent-dt-alameda-taamu-tweets-hes-a-chief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser 722 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Throw away his car keys, because he has had problems with that. Put him in the weight room, and maybe he can help. He has natural size that is hard find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,220 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 It's just a reserves futures contract. They signed 5 others too. That's how they found Spencer Ware so I guess you never know. They signed Kenny cook too. He was an offseason star last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
