Brock (6-5, 249) originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Carolina Panthers in 2009. He joins the Chiefs after stints in Buffalo (2011-12), Oakland (2010-11), Dallas (2010), Chicago (2009-10), Pittsburgh (2009) and with the New York Jets (2009). He has played in two games, both with the Bills in 2011, recording two receptions for 27 yards (13.5 avg.). Since entering the NFL, Brock has primarily served as a practice squad member. The Hackensack, N.J., native, played tight end at Rutgers. Dixon (6-4, 295) joins the Chiefs after three seasons with the New York Jets (2010-12). He played in 22 games (four starts), recording 21 tackles (15 solo), 2.5 sacks (-14.0 yards) and one pass breakup. He added one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

On Friday it was receiver Mardy Gilyard and on Saturday it's defensive lineman Marcus Dixon. The Chiefs haven't confirmed either of them. Dixon is a 6'4, 295-pound defensive end who was an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys in 2008. He signed with the Jets in 2010 and played sparingly over three years with four starts and 2.5 sacks.

Robert Malone, formerly with the San Diego Chargers and Shawn Powell, a rookie free agent who had been with the Buffalo Bills, to compete with incumbent T.J. Conley. The Jets wound up signing Robert Malone and subsequently releasing T.J. Conley, now less than a week before the opener. T.J. Conley seemed assured of the starting punter job after the New York Jets brought in Spencer Lanning for the final preseason game and his average dropped with each subsequent punt. Robert Malone had been with Jacksonville and Tampa Bay in 2010, as well as Detroit last season, and San Diego in this past preseason. His statistics show that he has just over a 42 yard average in his short NFL career. In another roster move made on Tuesday the Jets re-signed defensive end Marcus Dixon, and released the recently claimed off waivers defensive tackle Isaako Aaitui.

Conley and nose tackle Isaako Aatui on Tuesday, five days before the team's regular-season opener against the Buffalo Bills. Defensive tackle Marcus Dixon also wrote on Twitter that he re-signed with the Jets. Dixon's agent, Howard Shatsky, also tweeted that his client is returning to the Jets. The team did not immediately announce that it brought back Dixon, who was cut on Saturday when New York signed Aatui. The 27-year-old Conley averaged 42.7 yards per punt last season, and tied for third in the NFL by dropping 32 kicks inside the 20-yard line. The Jets brought in some competition for Conley, who beat out Travis Baltz during training camp and Spencer Lanning last week, and his job appeared to be safe. He was the only punter on the team's roster. ''Got cut by the Jets today,'' Conley wrote on Twitter. ''Pretty bummed but God has a plan for me and I trust in it. Looking forward to a new start wherever I end up.''

The announcement was made by Dixon's agent, Howard Shatsky. The Jets also signed former Dolphins practice squad defensive tackle Isaako Aaitui, according to a tweet from Aaitui's agent, David Canter. Aaitui, a 6-3, 322-pound nose tackle that, reports say, fits well as a nose in the 3-4 scheme, went undrafted out of UNLV back in 2011. Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger reports the Jets also claimed 49ers tight end Konrad Reuland and released TE Dedrick Epps, likely to make room for Reuland on the roster.
