Chiefs sign OL Goff
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.

From what I recall - this guy's pretty solid.

Much better than our other options at that spot at this point.

Fish · 03-25-2009, 11:34 AM

Good move. Makes Waters' shenanigans look even more unnecessary...

htismaqe · 03-25-2009, 11:35 AM

Solid move.

Crush · 03-25-2009, 11:35 AM

In all seriousness, I applaud this move.

Do we have anyone on the current roster who is a possiblity at C or RT? Any young up and coming guys?

Sam Hall · 03-25-2009, 11:36 AM

He sucks.

He'll be a solid stop-gap.

He will be useless after a couple years, but for now a major improvement over what you have.

Even if he's only better than the last Olineman on the roster, an upgrade is an upgrade.

That's cool with me.

I still think that was the flaw with Edwards' "build through the draft" philosophy was the total lack of upgrading positions with FAs that can help you compete, even if they're not long-term solutions.

You should still upgrade when you can, and it shouldn't preclude you from drafting the "long-term" solution at the position.

Decent short-term move. Should definitely be an "upgrade" for a year or two.

CupidStunt · 03-25-2009, 11:39 AM

He had a real down year last year, but was a real solid player in a number of years before that.

**Bowser** · 03-25-2009, 11:39 AM

Put Goff at Center and move Rudy to RG?

RustShack · 03-25-2009, 11:39 AM

OK so heres a few of our options and what do you think?

Niswanger at C, Goff at RG
Goff as C, Niswanger at RG
Someone else at C(Wade Smith or rookie?), Goff at RG
Other.

We've had pretty good luck with ex-Hawkeye linemen...
