KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Linebacker Kendrell Bell, the defensive rookie of the year 4 years ago, signed a 7 year contract with the defensively-troubled Kansas City Chiefs. The 6' 1", 257 lbs. Bell was one of the last name free agents on the markets even though he played just 3 games last season with Pittsburgh. His best season came as a rookie in 2001, when made the Pro Bowl after recording 88 tackles, 9 sacks and 2 of forced fumbles in his first season.

In Bell's only other full season, 2003, he was a Pro Bowl alternate after recording 108 tackles and five sacks, an interception and a forced fumble. "We're pleased to acquire Kendrell's services and we think he will make an impact for the Chiefs in 2005 and beyond," said team president Carl Peterson. "He's a quality football player, as well as a quality person."
