Chiefs work out Casey Wiegmann.
 

Could Casey Wiegmann Return At Center?

On Thursday, the Chiefs reported to the league office a visit/workout at their facility with former center Casey Wiegmann.

With the season ending injury suffered by Rodney Hudson and the inexperience at the position of his replacement Ryan Lilja, obviously the Chiefs are turning over every stone in an attempt to stabilize the position.

The 39-year old Wiegmann retired after the 2011 season, finishing up a 16-year NFL career where he spent 9 of those seasons with the Chiefs (2001-07, 2010-11.) When he left after the finale in Denver, he had started 175 consecutive games, played 11,162 consecutive snaps and played in 200 NFL games.

One problem in a possible Wiegmann return – he’s lost a lot of weight from his playing days. He was listed last year at 285 pounds and he was really a few pounds under that. Over the last nine months those that have seen him say he’s lost a lot of weight and looked like he was down in the 250-pound range. That’s simply too light to consider playing in the NFL these days.

The Chiefs may have simply been feeling Wiegmann out on a possible return, or maybe they brought him in to give tips to Lilja.

Let's hope it's to give tips to Lilja, because playing at 250 is just asking for failure.

Hell while we're at it, let's put McCluster at fullback.

:facepalm:

Reminds me of Kyle Turley at right tackle after losing all the weight

ya.....NO

:facepalm:

This would be an epic fail.

250 ****ing pounds? **** that.....keep Lilja in there.

Stupidly reigns supreme.

Apparently he signed up for the Planet weight-loss thread.

At least he didn't play for new england

Hah...except this would be worse.

Maybe we can bring back Thomas Jones to fill in for Hillis

My. God.
