Personnel Preference

Might be the only time Cory Greenwood gets his pic on my blog.

I would like to start with today's news on the Associated Press's voting results for their annual All-Pro lists. Making the first-team All-Pro list is linebacker Derrick Johnson. It has been a good year for Johnson, having been named to his first Pro Bowl and winning the Derrick Thomas Award for MVP of the team this season, voted on by the players. Linebacker Tamba Hali made the second-team All-Pro list. He will also be joining Johnson in Honolulu for the upcoming Pro Bowl.

Also this morning, the Chiefs signed linebacker Cory Greenwood to a four-year extension worth $2.75 million. A Canadian by birth, Greenwood was the third overall draft pick in the 2010 CFL draft before trying his luck as an undrafted free agent in the NFL. Picked up by the Chiefs, he has made the roster two consecutive years, and see's some playing time on defense. Mostly a special team's guy, Greenwood recorded 13 tackles this season.

On Tuesday, January 3rd, the Chiefs signed six players from their practice squad to their offseason roster. These six players are: fullback Shane Bannon, wide receiver Jamar Newsome, offensive lineman Rob Bruggeman, defensive linemen Anthony Toribio and Lucas Patterson and linebacker Caleb Campbell. The only practice squad players that didn't re-sign were offensive lineman Darryl Harris and defensive back Quinten Lawrence.

Remember Tony Moeaki, Eric Berry and Jamaal Charles? Well in case you do, and were wondering how their rehabs were going, Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star wrote an article about their progress recovering from torn ACLs suffered during the season. Moeaki was the main guy interviewed, and he had some nice quotes in the article. All three of these players have Twitter accounts, so if you want to keep up on how their rehab is going, you should follow these guys.
