Kansas City filled their void at strong safety Thursday, signing Jon McGraw to a two-year contract. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The Browns seem to be beating the bushes for a veteran quarterback after all. GM Phil Savage confirmed Thursday night that that he contacted Kansas City GM Carl Peterson about Trent Green during this week's NFL meetings. "I spoke to a number of teams/GMs about players/picks including KC," Savage said in an e-mail. "Bottom line, due diligence on a player who might be able to help us -- nothing imminent or on the table."

Trent Green appears destined to remain with the Chiefs when the NFL meetings conclude today. At the current pace of negotiations with potential trade partners Miami and Detroit, Green will be a Chief for quite some time. Chiefs president/general manager Carl Peterson huddled briefly with his Detroit counterpart, Matt Millen, on Tuesday. The two agreed to continue the conversations later. But Peterson has yet to speak in Arizona with Miami general manager Randy Mueller. ?He?s not been in the same meetings I?m in,? Peterson said. ?Matt is. I?m going to make a real point to get together with Mueller.?

Kansas City Chiefs president Carl Peterson revealed he received a call from Detroit Lions president Matt Millen on Friday asking if the two could speak at this week's NFL owners meetings in Phoenix in regards to Trent Green. "I don't think they've even started yet," Peterson said of the negotiations. "I haven't seen Randy Mueller and I'm going to see Matt (Millen) here in a few minutes. I think it's early. We all agreed we were going to discuss it this week at the league meetings. We haven't discussed it (yet)."

For the second time in two weeks, the Rams have added a veteran cornerback to compete for playing time in their nickel and dime coverage packages, reaching a one-year accord with unrestricted free agent Lenny Walls. The five-year veteran, who played for the Chiefs in 2006, is a big, physical cornerback (6-foot-4, 195 pounds) with potential, but a player whose career has been slowed by injuries.

A new contract for Trent Green is holding up a possible deal that would send the former Pro Bowl quarterback from Kansas City to the Miami Dolphins, sources said Wednesday. The Dolphins, like the Chiefs, want Green to take a major pay cut from the $7.2, $7.7 and $9.2 million the 36-year-old veteran is due over the next three seasons, the final three years on his current contract. Miami doesn't want to pay Green, who will turn 37 in July, much more than the NFL veteran's minimum, which is $820,000 in 2007. To acquire Green, the Dolphins likely would trade the second seventh-round draft pick they obtained from New England for receiver Wes Welker. But, sources said, the sticking point for the Green deal is money.

Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Wednesday that the club has agreed to terms of a one-year contract with DE Jimmy Wilkerson. No other terms of the agreement were made available. Wilkerson (6-2, 290) appeared in 13 games (one start) for the Chiefs a year ago, He recorded 17 tackles (13 solo), two QB pressures, two passes defensed and 11 special teams tackles. He also saw action in the club?s AFC Wild Card Game at Indianapolis (1/6/07), registering three solo tackles.

The agent for Chiefs quarterback Trent Green said the Dolphins remain interested in a potential trade for his client, but it has been a "slow-moving" deal. Jim Steiner, who represents Green, said there have been many "dynamics" involved, which has caused for the difficulties in negotiations. Green, 36, has been on the Chiefs' trading block since the club re-signed quarterback Damon Huard.

Kansas City Chiefs President Carl Peterson announced on Tuesday that the club has agreed to terms of a four-year contract with DT Alfonso Boone. No other terms of the agreement were made available. Boone (6-3, 305) played in 12 games (four starts) for Chicago in 2006, registering 35 tackles (24 solo) and 2.0 sacks (-13.0 yards). He also played in three postseason contests for the Bears, including the club?s Super Bowl XLI appearance vs. Indianapolis (2/4/07). The seventh-year pro originally entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection (253rd overall) of Detroit in the 2000 NFL Draft. Boone was signed off the Lions practice squad by the Bears in 2000. He has played in 83 regular season contests (18 starts), tallying 153 tackles (100 solo), 10.5 sacks (-66.5 yards), eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recovery. He has also played in five postseason games, amassing four tackles (two solo).

Continuing the momentum aimed at replenishing their front four, the Chiefs on Saturday night reached agreement to re-sign four-year veteran Jimmy Wilkerson, who spent the past two weeks testing the unrestricted free agent market. It marked the third straight day in which the Chiefs addressed a defensive line that had been perilously thin before the sudden spate of signings.
