yay... a 37 year old center...
he should of never left. if he shows hes still got it who cares how old he is were not the herm chiefs anymore we can have players on our team whos been through puberty
My guess is, if he wants to be on the roster in Sept., he better be ready to be a back up and ready to play center or either guard spots.
Ryan Lilja has a visit scheduled for Monday also! I'm glad we're working to upgrade the line after signing Thomas Jones.
Weigmann backing up Newswinger thats a joke.Weigmann will out play Newswinger even if he was 50 lol.Newswinger is a joke.Bring back Weigmann ,he will show newswinger how to play the center position.lol

Hopfully he can mop up while we draft a new center next year or so.
lmao... yeah... no difference AT ALL between the two positions...Quote:

I like the pick up as long as its a 1 year deal. Worth the gamble on a 37 year old center. Best case scenario we have a starting center. Worst case is we got a vet that can teach youngsters on the line a thing or two for 1 year, than seeya later... Never the less, good to have Casey back in red and gold.
So it appears Lilja and Hank Fraley are coming in on monday for interviews...
and yes wiegmann is a 1 yr deal
I like this offseason and i'm getting excited!
Id like to see us draft Olsen, the C/G out of ND. He played under Weis. Give him a year to be mentored by Weigmann and Waters and I see him as our starter for the long term.
We need a young C for the long term. Most teams that are successful for a long time have a C that has been a big leader for the OL. We need someone smart that can be the leader of the OL.
I'm glad he's back; wished we'd have held on to him in the first place.
Eff yes. I'm more than happy to have Wiegmann back. Now let's get Lilja, and we can get Berry with our first pick and draft a young center deeper.
What i've been wanting since I've known about him. I SOOOOO hope we draft him!Quote:

Of course, I think some are just satisfied to have someone who can accurately hike the ball.

I'm pretty sure your saying what I'm saying; "I want Erci Berry to be drafted by the Chiefs"Quote:

But that is what I heard on the radio so it is their opinion, but they seemed to know about Wiegmann and Lilja...
It is a sign the Chiefs are interested in competing this year. He is probably the best available center for one year. They have other spots to fix in the draft first, and then probably plan to replace center next year.Quote:

His family remained in KC while he was in Denver.Quote:

This is excellent. Although I still say we draft offensive line. Needs over hype.
Yeah the year she won was a pretty good season. Didn't know they were married, lucky him. :DQuote:

This is really beginning to be a productive off season! I love the moves we've made and the deals we've cut! Go Pioli and welcome back Casey!!
Agreed. Especially because of the quality of the OC and DC additions.
