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.

Pioli is building this team beautifully

It's a good thing he didn't? The only way he would exit outta town is by losing. Which was the case, and very few ppl would want that guy running their football team anyway?

I just wish they woulda kept Wiegman? Wiegman, Goff, and Waters would be a nice trio on the interior part of the line.

There are several good centers and I hope we get one of them. A.Q. Shipley has some good points but his height and short arms bother me a little.

Mack's arms are kinda short too aren't they?

It's not the most exciting position, but it is the foundation part of your football team. Oline talk shouldn't be boring because its extremely important.

Collectively, they're more than a 100 years old.

No thanks.

What does that have to do with anything?

They're still productive players.

Good point.
Though short term I think it'd be a damn solid interior line to protect your 14 million-dollar man.

You could give your young draftees time to work their way in.

But how long before the wheels fall off?

Haven't you seen enough of that kind of shit with the Chiefs?

It appears that the Chiefs are doing just that in re-signing Niswanger and signing Goff.

I'd rather TRY with guys like that and have the wheels fall off than do what we did last year and never take the training wheels off.

Niswanger's a serviceable player and would be great as depth.
I don't think he's a starter with a bullet this season.
Especially since he's not ideal at Center and since Goff's been signed.

And again, there are some very talented Centers in this year's draft class.

Im convinced O-lineman can play into their mid 30's.

I've seen this shit with the Chiefs, and when they lost Roaf, wiegman, and Shields the line went to complete shits. But I also think the Oline sucked for various other reasons. Our coaching sucked, playcalling was too predictable, and they asked lineman to do things that did not comply to strengths.

*I realize this team has a lot of young players, but you get some veterans, bring more balance of veteran leadership and youth. I don't mind these kind of signings because they add something this team doesn't have enough of.

And if you couple them with 1-3 Offensive Linemen in this year's draft you kill two birds with one stone.
