Chiefs Welcome Back, Wiegmann

MoreLemonPledge · 07-26-2011, 02:58 PM

Chiefs agreed to terms with C Casey Wiegmann on a one-year contract.
Two other clubs showed interest, but Wiegmann was only going to play if the Chiefs wanted him back. His return should keep second-round pick Rodney Hudson, a college guard the club is converting to center, on the bench for his rookie season. Wiegmann stabilizes a Chiefs offensive line that returns all five starters. He's likely to man the pivot spot in Week 1.

Yes, I know it's in the FA thread, but that thing is ****ing huge. Chiefs news deserves separate threads.

Will be great to have Wiegmann around to help mentor Hudson.

Great news, anyone pining for a rookie to take the reins day one isnt thinking clearly IMO.

Casey will help get things off to a strong start.

If this had been a normal offseason Hudson would have had plenty of time to be ready to take the #1 spot from Casey by week 1 IMO. However given the lockout creating a unique learning curve for our rookies this year, you couldn't ask for a better situation to arise. Welcome back Casey and good luck this season!!

Intersting thought...yet we'll never know! Oh what could have been!

Hopefully it's a transition and Hudson will be playing around midyear when Wiegmann traditionally starts to decline.

Here's hoping he's great for us...for 8 weeks or so.

I love having him around for the first half of the season, but if Hudson hasn't taken over by week 12, he's not progressing as well as I'd hoped he would.

Casey is at 127 starts in a row. Pretty amazing.

Damn I didn't realize that, quite impressive.

Let him play as long as he wants to as long as his production doesn't slip. There are certain guys around the league (OL especially) that just don't age and he happens to be one of them. For some people, age is just a number.

His production slipped markedly as last season progressed.

Our performance in short-yardage situations faltered in large part due to Weighman's decline as he tired last season. He simply couldn't get the leg-drive or interior push that he needed to be a solid interior presence past week 10(ish).

I'm confident that he can give us some very strong production for the first half of the season. But as the grind of the season sets in, those legs are going to get heavier and heavier and we're going to need Hudson to be able to step up.
