Former University of Tennessee offensive lineman Rob Smith impressed the Kansas City Chiefs without playing a game in 2007.
The Chiefs agreed to terms Monday on a two-year contract with Smith, who is listed as a reserve/future free agent.
The 6-foot-3, 311-pound Smith entered the NFL as a rookie free agent in 2006 with the Cleveland Browns, spending the first 11 weeks on the practice squad before being promoted to the 53-man roster on Nov. 29. Smith started one game for Cleveland in 2006. He attended training camp with the Browns in 2007, but was released prior to the start of the season.
Smith joined the Chiefs as a member of the practice squad on Oct. 30 but did not play although he was used on the scout team as a guard.

Although I didn't like it when Rob left us early (at least earlier than he had to), I wish him well with the Chiefs. He was a tough guy who played hurt a good bit as I recall. When he's intro'd on TV, I hope he is proud to own up to being a Vol.
