Chiefs Sign Kicker Cundiff to a Two-year Deal

The Chiefs worked Monday to improve one big area of the team that was awful a year ago - the kicker spot.  They did it by signing Billy Cundiff to a two-year deal.  Last season the team was hindered by the terrible kicking of fifth-round draft pick Justin Medlock, and then after they had enough of him, they turned to Dave Rayner, and finally John Carney.  Cundiff was with the Cowboys for four seasons and also played in 2006 with the Saints.  The Chiefs also agreed to two-year deals with five others Monday: safety Erick Harris, defensive tackle T.J. Jackson, cornerback Chad Johnson, tackle Joe Lobdell and guard Rob Smith.
