What NFL team does Amani Toomer play for?
Chiefs sign veteran receiver Toomer By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star “That’s the way,” the Chiefs coach shouted to anyone within a half-mile radius of the practice fields at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, “to catch the football.” The Chiefs turned to Toomer to make it. The 13-year receiver was signed to a contract Tuesday and practiced for the first time. “As we’ve said, we’ll do anything to improve the competition and a guy of Amani’s caliber and what he’s done in the league fits that bill,” Haley said. “We worked him out and it looked like he had some gas left in the tank, so we signed him. I was excited to see him make a play and I thought the rest of the receivers actually picked it up a little bit.” For most of his 13 years with the New York Giants, Toomer was one of the league’s most consistent receivers. He caught at least 45 passes every season from 1999 through 2005 and had 48 catches with four touchdowns last season.

RIVER FALLS, Wis. | He was fed up from three days of dropped passes and generally inconsistent play from the Chiefs wide receivers, so when he saw Amani Toomer go up high to make a difficult catch, Todd Haley couldn’t help himself. “That’s the way,” the Chiefs coach shouted to anyone within a half-mile radius of the practice fields at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, “to catch the football.” The Chiefs turned to Toomer to make it.
