Chiefs News: Donnie Avery signed

Following the Tuesday free agency signings of tight end Anthony Fassano from the Miami Dolphins and defensive linemen Mike Devito, the restructuring of the Kansas City personnel continued on Wednesday with the signing of wide receiver Donnie Avery from the Indianapolis Colts

Avery is coming off a career year with the Colts in which he gained 781 yards. He's a deep threat that hasn't been overly consistent or healthy in his career, so we'll be curious to see how much noise he makes.

Still, the Chiefs' offense is in better shape. Fasano and Tony Moeaki make a nice tight end combination. Avery will pair with Dwayne Bowe and Jonathan Baldwin at wide receiver. The quarterback depth chart is set with Alex Smith and Chase Daniels. It's going to be tough for all these disparate pieces to come together quickly, but the Chiefs didn't exactly mortgage their future with monster contracts. (That includes the deal for cornerback Dunta Robinson.)

The Chiefs are slowly making some noise in a division they feel they can compete in from the off.
