The Chiefs announced that Glenn Dorsey has ended his brief hold-out and signed with the team.

The Kansas City Star reports that the Chiefs signed their top draft pick this morning. Chiefs President Carl Peterson says that it is a five year contract with an option for a sixth year. Fox Sports reports that the deal is worth $51 million. The Associated Press quotes an anonymous source who claims that the deal includes a $22 million signing bonus.

The Chiefs drafted Dorsey fifth overall out of Louisiana State last April. Dorsey reported to camp this morning and practiced for the first time this afternoon in River Falls.
