Mike Goff has agreed to contract terms with Chiefs
The Kansas City Star
DANA POINT, Calif. | The Chiefs agreed to contract terms today with veteran offensive lineman Mike Goff. Goff has some versatility and could wind up starting for the Chiefs at center or right guard.
The 33-year-old Goff played 11 NFL seasons, the first six with Cincinnati and the last five with San Diego. He has been a starter for the past nine seasons.
Don;t know much about him. Is he any good? You would think so if he started the last 9 years right?
Beer is good
Not sure why SD let this guy go, but I'm happy to get him. Definetely fills a position of need. Could put Rudy in a backup role - which is probably where he should be.

Good signing. One step closer to being a good team.

I remember Goff from our games against The Chargers the past few seasons.
He is definitely a strong run blocker.
It can be hard to judge an OGs pass blocking, without really looking at it for a few games. But he can't have been too bad at it.
Overall, I think this is a great signing.
One of the biggest questions about a veteran O-lineman is durability. Id he going to be able to stay on the field?
And, in this case, I think we are as safe as we could hope to be.
I think that the fact that he has been a starter for every game for The Chargers is very impressive.
We all know of the success that that offense has had during Goffs five seasons there. So we know that can be a part of a very successful offense.
As long as we keep Waters, this is a tremendous upgrade for our offense. At C, or at RG.
Clearly, you have to consider that he is on the "back-9" of his career. But I feel like we really needed this for the next couple of seasons.
If we log him in at RG, then that gives us three competent starters, and could go a long way toward improving the play of Niswanger at C too.
However, if we wind-up going OT in the draft, and the rookie can win the LOT spot, then we have the ability to move Albert to ROT, or to RG, while Goff takes over at C.
Either of those scenarios gives us four solid starters, of five positions, provided Albert and rookie meet expectations.
And if we don't go OT in the first round, we could still get a OG or C in the third, that could be a top prospect.
If we still had our second round pick, then I would feel pretty comfortable hoping for a second round O-lineman, because of how high we were in the second round.
But with both ROT and C still needing to be addressed (IMO), I think that the best way to fill one of those needs is to go OT in the first round still.
But I am very happy to see Goff will be a part of our plans for this season.
Very big upgrade.

I think we can safely go Raji or Curry in round 1 now, and then address RT in the 3rd round. Maybe Loadholt will be available there.
I'm starting to lean towards Raji again over Curry, but that's a story for another thread...

Barring injury, I think Goff is going to be our C for the next couple years. Niswanger, if he continues to start, will move to RG. I think we pick up a RT in the draft. And we start in 2009:
Albert/Waters/Goff/Niswanger/Draft Pick
If we draft a LT at 3, I think we move Albert to RT and the interior stays the same as above.
Is it a top-5 line? Not really. But we can't fix everything in one offseason. And it's a whole lot better than 2008.

Me thinks a plan is taking shape. What this plan is, not for us to know.
