The Facts: The Chiefs announced that they have re-signed Avant, who joined them in November after an uneventful stint with the Panthers.

Diehards Line: Avant caught 13 passes for 152 yards in five games with the team and his return extends a working relationship with HC Andy Reid that dates back to when the Eagles picked Avant in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. Avant was never the most dynamic receiver, but he’s been a reliable possession receiver throughout his career and could remain one for a receiving corps that’s still thin beyond newly-signed Jeremy Maclin, who was a teammate of Avant in Philadelphia under Reid.
