May 10, 2021 Former Kansas City Chiefs pass-rusher Tamba Hali is back with the Chiefs, though just for one day. The five-time Pro Bowler is signing a one-day contract to officially retire as a member of the Chiefs
Announced on the Chiefs Twitter account on Monday, the announcement officially marks the end of Hali s decorated 12-year career.
In his 12 years with the Chiefs (from 2006-2017), Hali racked up 89.5 sacks and 159 quarterback hits along with 33 forced fumbles, two interceptions and a safety. From 2009-2011, Hali was one of the league s best rushers, recording 35 sacks and 65 quarterback hits in 48 games.
Hali s 89.5 sacks are good for second-most for any Chiefs pass-rusher in history, behind Derrick Thomas (126.5) and ahead of Neil Smith (85.5) and Justin Houston (78.5). Chris Jones is the Chiefs leading active sacker with 40.5, putting him in line to surpass Art Still (42.5), Jared Allen (43) and Eric Hicks (44.5) in the near future.
Report: Eric Fisher is signing one-year deal with Indianapolis Colts
The former Chief has found a new home protecting Colts quarterback Carson Wentz.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. It is with the Indianapolis Colts, with whom he has signed a one-year deal worth $9.4 million.

Fisher, 30, has been tied to the Colts since last Wednesday. Current Colts general manager Chris Ballard was the Chiefs’ director of player personnel when the team made the 6-foot-7, 315-pounder the first draft selection of the new, Andy Reid-led regime back in 2013.

Former Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher is set to visit the Indianapolis Colts later this week, according to Tom Pelissero of
NFL Network.
Fisher tore his Achilles late in the Chiefs 2020 AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills. Kansas City cut the two-time Pro Bowler on March 11. Fisher has spent all eight of his professional seasons in Kansas City where he became a Super Bowl champion.
How Eric Fisher Fits With the Indianapolis Colts
The move makes sense for the Colts as they lost long-time left tackle Anthony Castonzo to retirement after last season. Either Indianapolis was unable to, or just didn t, address the starting role in the draft, so bringing Fisher in for a visit couldn t hurt.
Mitchell Schwartz is open to returning to the Chiefs
In an interview with 610, the former Chiefs expresses his desire to carry on playing - hopefully in Kansas City
As it turns out, Schwartz is also open to returning to work there.
“I would obviously entertain coming back here,’ he said. “For the short term, I just want to get healthy.”
