Tamba Hali gets paid — as in $60 million over five years

The Kansas City Chiefs signed linebacker Tamba Hali to a five-year, $60 million deal (and $35 million of it is guaranteed). Congratulations on winning the lottery, Tamba.

Good move for GM Scott Pioli in locking up Hali, who menaced opposing quarterbacks last season, recording 14.5 sacks. Hali will be needed this season, as if the Chiefs are to make back-to-back playoff appearances. Look for Hali to show up to camp in St. Joseph today.
