Tamba Hali to sign a one-day contract with the Chiefs

Mike Florio and Chris Simms pick teams that transformed specific position groups for the better over the offseason.

Chiefs defensive end Tamba Hali last played in 2017. On Monday, the Chiefs signed Hali to a one-day contract, so that he could retire as a Chief.

Hali never actually played for any other team, so he had already retired as a Chief, as a practical matter.

A first-round pick in 2006 from Penn State, Hali qualified for six Pro Bowls during his 12-year career. He had 89.5 career regular-season sacks.

Hali also was twice voted a second-team All-Pro, in 2011 and 2013. His highest sack total came in 2010, with 14.5.

The Chiefs released Hali in March 2018. Three years later, he’s a Chief once again -- for one day.
