Peyton Hillis leaves Browns for fresh start with Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs announced Wednesday via Twitter they have agreed to terms with the former Browns running back. Contract details have yet to be disclosed.
Hillis became a fan favorite with the Browns in 2010, when he emerged to lead Cleveland with 1,177 yards and nine touchdowns. He added 477 yards and two more scores through the air, turning heads league-wide and winning the "Madden NFL 12" cover-boy contest.
From there, however, things soured, with Hillis battling through an injury-plagued 2011 campaign laced with whispers of lockerroom tension and thoughts of retirement for a career with the CIA, which the 6-foot-2, 250-pound back labeled as "ridiculous."

And the last playoff victory in Kansas City's history.
Will Peyton be able to equal that?
