KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Chiefs signed free-agent cornerback Jamell Fleming and wide receiver Rod Streater on Saturday.
Fleming, a former third-round draft pick out of Oklahoma, appeared in all 16 games for Kansas City last season. He joined the Chiefs in 2014, starting four of the seven games he played that season.
He provides some depth after the departure of Sean Smith in free agency.
Streater has spent the past four seasons with the AFC West-rival Oakland Raiders, though he’s been slowed by injury much of the past two seasons. Streater’s best year came in 2013, when he caught 60 passes for 888 yards and four touchdowns.
He will compete with Albert Wilson and Chris Conley for playing time alongside Jeremy Maclin.
