The Kansas City Chiefs have signed free-agent receiver Amani Toomer to a one-year contract, according to the Associated Press.

Toomer was one of three free agents to work out for the Chiefs yesterday. They also worked out D.J. Hackett and David Terrell.

"I definitely thought I was going to play, I kept working out like I was going to play," Toomer said Tuesday after his first practice with his new team. "It bothered me ego-wise, but I kept going, kept doing my thing and I'm here now."

With a lot of young receivers on the Chiefs roster, Toomer should provide veteran leadership to the receiving corps.

Toomer, who was the Giants second-round pick in 1996, played all 13 seasons of his career with the New York Giants. Toomer needs just 503 receiving yards to reach the 10,000 yards for his career.
