IIRC, he played all five positions along the O-line.

I really hope he steps up this offseason and finds a starting spot on the line.

Same with Brown.

Not good.
I hope not. I'm thinking that the Chiefs bringing Wiegmann in is a sign that they don't view Niswanger as a starter. I hope.

Actually acccording to ESPN, they did pay him that roster bonus before they released him.

No link, just something I heard on ESPN radio.

I think Wiegman starts this year.

I think so. He signed a one-year deal worth $2 million.

I don't think the chiefs are going to pay a guy $2 million dollar to sit on the bench. They would be dumbasses if they did such a move for that particular reason.

I clearly view this move as a stop gap solution. That pretty much explains the one-year deal imo. I could see them drafting a center this year, and the draftee rides the pine and learns off a solid vet like Wiegmann.

I read it on an online Indy newspaper. The article was saying they didn't really know what was going on with the Colts and Lilja. They thought it odd that they paid him the bonus only to release him a short while later. They noted that the Colts wanted to get bigger on the line and have brought in bigger players.

So did we get him or not?...

Like any free agent this offseason, there's going to be some shady stuff involved.

I'm personally not a huge fan of the signing. I don't know where they put him, unless they're thinking of moving Waters right. And I still think Lilja is largely a product of Manning's quick decisions and blitz pickups. That being said, our Guards are definitely a whole lot better. And maybe Lilja is intended to be a stopgap. If there's any bright side, it's that Cassel has no excuse to fail.

You are a total ****ing doucher. Now go fetch your daddy his paper lapdog.
They play a zone blocking scheme when they pass he ball too? Once again Weigmann was worse at pass blocking than Niswanger.

"First man to make contact at the guard trap, gets a dozen Lamars!!!"

Waters and Lilja are gonna make for a lot of decent off-tackle yardage.
