Bengals signed DE Wallace Gilberry.

Gilberry made an impact as rotational pass rusher in 2010 before his play fell off across the board last season. He was recently cut by the Bucs after signing a one-year deal in June.

Bucs re-signed DE Wallace Gilberry.

Gilberry was waived on Saturday, but the Bucs have had a change of heart. Gilberry was a productive player for the Chiefs the past three seasons, appearing in all 16 games while tallying at least 2.5 sacks each year. His contract will be guaranteed if he holds his roster spot through next weekend.

Bucs signed DE Wallace Gilberry to a one-year contract.

The Bucs continue to make tweaks along the depths of their defensive line. Gilberry and Jayme Mitchell are in, while Hilee Taylor and Myles Wade are out. Gilberry, 27, had 10 tackles and 2.5 sacks while appearing in all 16 games for the Chiefs last season. But two years ago, he posted seven sacks.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

The Chiefs remain open to bringing back some of their 11 unsigned unrestricted free agents.

GM Scott Pioli indicated that DE Wallace Gilberry, in particular, wanted to revisit talks after the draft. "We had talked to Wallace a number of times during the season about an extension," Pioli said. "We talked to him during the offseason and Wallace wasn't ready to make a move and wasn't ready to do anything. He wanted to see what his market was."

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Chiefs DE Wallace Gilberry has been as impressive as any defensive player in training camp.

Noticeably bigger in the upper body this year, Gilberry has been "almost unstoppable" rushing the passer off the edge. Beat writer Bob Gretz noted that every offensive tackle on the roster has been embarrassed "at least once" by Gilberry's power rush. The situational pass rusher finished second only to Tamba Hali with seven sacks last year.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Chiefs re-signed restricted free agent DE Wallace Gilberry to a one-year, $1.9 million contract.

Coordinator Romeo Crennel smartly limited Gilberry to a pass-rushing specialist role, and the 26-year-old emerged as one of two 3-4 defensive ends to produce 40 or more "quarterback disruptions" in 2010. He'll play the same role this season.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Wallace Gilberry was one of two 3-4 defensive ends to produce 40 or more "quarterback disruptions" in 2010, according to Pro Football Focus.

Gilberry isn't much of a run defender, so the Chiefs smartly played over 75 percent of his snaps on passing downs. With Glenn Dorsey, Ron Edwards, Tyson Jackson, and Shaun Smith faring much better as run-stoppers, Gilberry fills a much-needed niche in the defensive line rotation. He'll be back on a second-round tender in 2011.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Chiefs extended restricted free agent DE Wallace Gilberry a second-round tender.

A three-year veteran, the athletic if undersized Gilberry is Kansas City's top situational pass rusher on the line. He finished second on the team behind only Tamba Hali in QB pressures last season, also notching seven sacks.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Chiefs DE Wallace Gilberry led the team's defensive linemen in sacks (4.5) and quarterback pressures (5) in 2009.

This is more an indictment of Glenn Dorsey and disappointing rookies Tyson Jackson and Alex Magee more than anything, but Gilberry did make the most of his snaps and should have a roster spot in 2010. While the job of 3-4 ends isn't always to rush, Jackson and Dorsey had plenty of blitz opportunities on third downs throughout the year. Dorsey had one sack; Jackson had none.

Wallace Gilberry - DL - Bengals

Chiefs signed DE Wallace Gilberry to a three-year contract.

Gilberry's deal is for the minimum and he will have to continue to make the team on a weekly basis, so the "three years" doesn't mean much. The Chiefs hope he'll help against the run. Gilberry isn't much of a pass rusher.
