Chiefs consider KU's Hartwig for offensive lineman’s job
The Chiefs may look locally to fill a void on the offensive line.
They were expecting to meet with free-agent center Justin Hartwig, who played at the University of Kansas.
Hartwig has played six seasons in the NFL. Four years were with Tennessee and two with Carolina.
Drafted by the Titans in the sixth round in 2002, Hartwig was a starter in four seasons. He was a reserve as a rookie in 2002 and missed most of the 2006 season because of a groin injury.
The Panthers released Hartwig, 29, last week.
The Chiefs are looking for three starting offensive linemen. They must replace guard John Welbourn, who was released, and center Casey Wiegmann, an unrestricted free agent who won’t be re-signed. They also need a dependable right tackle.
Only guard Brian Waters and tackle Damion McIntosh will return among last year’s regulars.
