Former Missouri Tiger tight end Martin Rucker has announced to the world that he is now a member of the Kansas City Chiefs:

However, there has been no official word from the Chiefs saying that Rucker has signed a deal with the team. Just last week Rucker was one of 10 players who atended a tryout with the Chiefs, but he left among the others this past Sunday so that the coaches could evaluate those in attendance further.
If there there is a contract in place it is likely to be a one-year deal and probably as the third tight end. One connection that went Rucker's way was that he played with the Cleveland Browns when Romeo Crennel was the head coach there.
