In the summer of 2004, the Chiefs signed undrafted free agent guard Ryan Lilja to compete for a spot on the offensive line. Looking for an open roster spot before September cutdowns, the Chiefs released Lilja hoping to sneak him onto the practice squad.
The Colts ended up signing him and he's forever been "the one that got away" in Kansas City.
Five years later, the Chiefs got him back.
The Chiefs on Tuesday announced they have signed Lilja. Reports are indicating it's a three-year contract.
Lilja played left guard in Indianapolis -- the same position as Brian Waters -- but I suspect he'll be able to crack the starting rotation in Kansas City.
