Chiefs signed free agent WR Eddie Kennison to a one-day contract in advance of Kennison announcing his retirement.

The 12-year veteran had his best seasons with the Chiefs, setting career highs in catches (68) and yardage (1,102) in 2005. The former first-round pick out of LSU finishes with 548 career receptions and 42 touchdowns.

Eddie Kennison admits he didn't want to stop playing before signing a ceremonial contract to retire a Chief on Monday.

Kennison had been out of the league since 2008. "The decision to retire was not actually mine," he said. "It was the National Football League or the teams in the National Football League that said, ‘He’s probably too old to play.’ To them, 37 is 107 in dog years." Kennison finished his career seventh all-time on the Chiefs' franchise receiving list. Though he topped 1,000 yards twice and averaged 15.2 yards per catch for his career, he never made a Pro Bowl.

Kennison will be always be appreciated in my book. He was apart of the Chiefs finest Offense ever.

I agree he was pretty good for us.

Solid WR and very underrated as well.

I hope Tony G.re signs with the Chiefs even if it's for 1 day..just so he can retire a member of the team...even tho he's a Falcon now...he will always be a Chief
