KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Chiefs signed Terrelle Pryor to a one-year deal Wednesday to provide competition at the backup quarterback spot, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Chiefs had not announced the deal. Pryor worked out for Kansas City earlier in the day, and later tweeted out a picture of himself carrying a notebook with the Chiefs’ logo on it.

The signing could mean the end of backup Chase Daniel’s run in Kansas City. The Chiefs are tight against the salary cap, and parting with Daniel could save nearly $4 million.

The Chiefs also have developmental quarterbacks Tyler Bray, who spent last season on injured reserve, and fifth-round pick Aaron Murray on the roster. Murray only suited up once as a rookie.

Pryor, an electrifying college quarterback at Ohio State, has yet to experience much success as a professional. He was a third-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in the supplemental draft in 2011, and started 10 of the 15 games he appeared in over three seasons in the NFL.

He’s thrown for 1,953 yards with nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions in his career. That includes a start against Kansas City two years ago at Arrowhead Stadium in which Pryor was sacked nine times and threw three interceptions in a 24-7 defeat.

Pryor has run 93 times for 627 yards and three touchdowns in his career.
