Howie Roseman has been busy this week, and on Thursday, the team agreed to terms with former Texans RB Daveon Pierce on a one-year deal.
Pierce is heading into his fifth season in the league, and spent most of his career with the Texans. He was a breakout candidate after rushing for 939 yards his rookie season, but has struggled to stay healthy and has never played more than 14 games in a season. The RB suffered a pretty brutal preseason quad injury last year and ultimately lost his spot among the RB rotation before being released by Houston in November. The Chiefs went on to sign him at the end of the year as they looked for bodies to fill a decimated roster.
