The Chiefs have traded for running back Michael Bennett, ESPN reported Tuesday night. Bennett is a fairly decent back who was a first round pick and a pro-bowler. He could start on many teams and is too talented to be a third-stringer, thus revealing that the Chiefs have officially moved on without Priest Holmes, who is on the Physically Unable to Perform list and may not get clearance to play at all this year. Bennett will back up Larry Johnson (and give Johnson a legitimate reason for that paranoid chip on his shoulder).
The Rams, Dolphins, and Texans were all trying to trade for Bennett. The Chiefs gave the Saints an undisclosed draft pick for him.

Sounds like Carl and the Chiefs are doing a lot of the right things to make this team better. If they could only find someone else to step up to the WR position, they'd really have things moving. I'm just leary that they'll not have any real threat outside and then defenses will stack up in the middle against LJ and limit the only real offense we have.
