The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Dolphins and Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne to a two-year contract on Friday
Akiem Hicks Jersey , giving them a veteran backup for new starter Patrick Mahomes II.
The 32-year-old Henne was a second-round pick of Miami in 2008, and went on to start 31 games for the Dolphins. He appeared in 31 games and started 22 over the past five seasons in Jacksonville.
Henne is 18-35 as a starter

St. Louis Blues goalie Carter Hutton is expected to sign with the Buffalo Sabres once the NHL’s free-agency period opens Sunday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the discussions.
The person tells The Associated Press that the two sides are close to having the framework of a deal in place after Hutton visited Buffalo this week. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Saturday because agreements cannot be announced until the signing period begins.
The 32-year-old Hutton has six seasons of NHL experience
Tarik Cohen Jersey , including the past two with the Blues, where he split starting duties with Jake Allen. He finished with a 17-7-3 record and a 2.09 goals-against average in 32 games last year.

Hutton would form a tandem with Linus Ullmark
Matt Paradis Jersey , who is pegged to make the jump to the NHL level on a full-time basis after spending the past three years developing in the minors.
