KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Kansas City Chiefs have signed defensive tackle
Xavier Williams, a restricted free agent from the Arizona Cardinals, who
declined to match the offer Kansas City made to the run-stopper.
The Chiefs announced the signing in a statement Wednesday.
The 6-foot-2, 309-pound Williams grew up in the Kansas City suburb of
Grandview, Missouri, before a standout career at Northern Iowa. He started twice
and appeared in 23 games over the past two seasons in Arizona, making 28 tackles
and earning a reputation as someone who can plug up the run.
The Chiefs had been searching for a nose tackle after Bennie Logan became a
free agent.
