New Orleans ? Willie Roaf is headed from the New Orleans Saints to the Kansas City Chiefs, pending NFL approval of the trade.

“I can confirm we have an agreement in principal to trade Willie to the Kansas City Chiefs, predicated on approval of the signed paperwork submitted to the league,” Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said Monday night.

The team would not release any details on the trade, but ESPN.com reported the Saints would get a conditional fourth-round draft choice in 2003 that could become a third-rounder, depending on Roaf’s performance with the Chiefs.
