KNOXVILLE, TENN. ? Former Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen has agreed to a free-agent deal with the Kansas City Chiefs and will compete for a backup spot.

The Chiefs also agreed to terms with 10 other rookie free agents, Chiefs President Carl Peterson said Tuesday.

Clausen, who ended his career second to Peyton Manning in most statistical categories at Tennessee, was not among the 17 quarterbacks drafted during the weekend.

“It’s not that I’m angry, and it’s not so much disappointment,” he said. “It’s more disbelief.”

Clausen believes his NFL stock went down when he played most of his junior season with a broken collarbone and a hurt ankle.

The other free agents who signed two-year deals with the Chiefs were: Scott Connot (South Dakota State, S), Zach Fletcher (Alabama, WR), Travis Garvin (West Virginia, WR) Ryan Lilja (Kansas State, C), Jonathan Smith (Washington State, RB) Matt Miller (Louisiana College, G), Benny Sapp (Northern Iowa, CB), and Sean Weston (Texas A&M, CB).

Signing three-year deals were: Marvin Jackson (Chadron State, CB) and Rich Scanlon (Syracuse, LB).
