When Tony Ugoh came into the league, the Colts thought he’d be Peyton Manning’s blind-side protector for years to come.

He has now officially become a journeyman.

Ugoh signed with the Chiefs Thursday, and will compete for a backup job there.

He played in three games (one start) with the Giants last year, and part of 2010 with the Lions. His three years with the Colts were a disappointment for the former second-rounder from Arkansas.

The Chiefs drafted tackle Donald Stephenson in the third round, but otherwise don’t have much experience at the position behind starters Branden Albert and Eric Winston.
