Report: Chiefs Sign C Casey Wiegmann
by Joel Thorman on Mar 12, 2010 4:13 PM CST
in 2010 Kansas City Chiefs Season
Email
PrintWithin the last hour 810 WHB's Jake Gutierrez reported that the Kansas City Chiefs had contacted veteran center Casey Wiegmann this morning but speculated they were just "kicking the tires" on him. I also passed along word that the Chiefs were seemingly turning up the heat on finding a new center.
Turns out, they've found one and it's Casey Wiegmann.
J.B. Bauersfeld, sports director at WIBW in Topeka, reports it's a one year deal.
(Editor's Note: Not one of usual sources for news but Wiegmann's wife confirmed the news to the station.)
Wiegmann spent the last two seasons playing in a zone blocking scheme in Denver so his transition to the Chiefs makes sense.
Wiegmann played on the Chiefs from 2001-2007.
He's 37 36 years old.

totally agreed Tomahawk44...
and this is a move to repair the idiocy of the GermEdward years… Casey is a solid player, a good guy to have in the huddle and the locker room… and a GREAT man to have in our community. I am SO glad to see him come back to the Home of the Chiefs!
Great move, lets hope he has gas left in the tank
I still kinda hope we can get Fraley too, maybe to play RG
IDK
If we’re gonna sign a CLE lineman I’d prefer it be Hadnot, since he’s younger and didn’t essentially sit out a year like fraley. Plus I think it says how poor a blocker Fraley was since the Browns deemed it necessary to not only spend a first rder on his replacement, but didn’t even want him as a backup
But Fraley didn't sit the year out...he split time at RG with Hadnot

Good move

Nice stopgap...
and I’m hoping that we draft someone that is going to take the reigns next year.
Its almost like Pioli wants us to win this year or something!
Go Chiefs!!!!
Pioli is perfectly filling the holes with stopgap free agents
which is just what we need for now, we can draft the permanent replacements in the future

My mock is messed now
Now i’ve gone from our first three being Okung, Pouncey, C. Thomas.; to Berry, Tate or Washington, C.Thomas
i think what he's trying to do...
is bring vets in with a year or so left and then draft 3rd to 5th round guys to play behind vets for a year or two until they’re ready to go. you can’t expect every draft pick to play right away, but if they do it this way it gives them a much better chance to be successful in the future
I agree...
and I believe that he is doing everything that he can to get into a playoff game. Pioli is doing everything that he can possibly do to get Kansas City to become a competitive football team.
Go Chiefs!!!!
Well, now, that's a stunner.
Hope he has some gas left in the tank. And, yeah, by all means welcome back from the dark side.
It's fate for him to finish his career here.
Welcome back Casey.

that was quick!
I like it… one year stopgap, retire a Chief
* KC now has the best coaching staff in the league
* 9-7 is a real possibility in 2010 IF the Chiefs get 4 new starters
* keep Albert at LT, upgrade the positions that NEED upgrading.C, RG, NT, S, LB
I've had the story written for 25 minutes
And was trying to confirm. Unless he and his wife are lying, it’s true.
DAMN!
that was quick! good move though. the chiefs really are doing a great job in free agency

I hope that doesn’t stop them from drafting a top C in rounds 2, 3, or 4. And if they do, letting that Center get a real shot at starting. Hopefully this will move Rudy into the Wade Smith utility role.
I say...
screw drafting a center that high unless its Maurice Pouncey. I think we should get Byers from USC in the 5th.
1. Suh will fall to us at 5
2. McClain will fall to us at 2a
3. The Chiefs will trade DJ and Dorsey
by I_Bleed_Red. on Mar 12, 2010 5:11 PM CST up reply actions
we don't move on a C this year in the draft
If we get Fraley we’ll have 3 guys who are starting C caliber in the NFL on our team…although Neiswanger isn’t as good as the other two IMO. But both Fraley and Neiswanger could compete at RG to bolster that position.

Welcome back Casey
Wish a certain couple of knuckleheads had never let you go.
wow,
that was fast. I still have Walton as a draft choice. He can play right guard for a yr? Or sign Lilja and rol ewith Weigmann/Rudy and draft center next yr

Sweet, he makes for a good stop gap
Its good to see that he still wants to be a Chief
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
I don't think there is a reason he wouldn't want to be a Chief
I’m just saying its nice that he wants to play in KC

Sitting on their 'ducks'
Is that a thing, cause i don’t think that’s a thing?
Yeah...
For those of you worried about the draft.
I don’t think this affects the Chiefs plans at all. If an interior lineman falls to us, I can’t imagine a 37 year old C would affect Pioli’s decision. If anything, I’d think you’d want to get one even badder to have a guy to mentor him.
There are no downsides to this.
I remember comments from him after he went to Denver saying that it was like night and day going from the Chiefs (then under Herm and Carl) to the Broncos (then under Shanny)
Now why would he come back?
He believes in this new regime. Pioli & Co. are selling their product superbly:
Chambers, Jones, Weigman, Vrabel… He’s getting top notch vets in here because he’s got them believing something about this organization.
This is a really good sign fellas.

And it likely won't
We’re going to load up on guys and try them out in camp. This is the best way to do it. Draft guys to compete with vets so they can find the best possible players to put on the field. And on the flip side of that, the vets teach stability and leadership to the young players. This is the right way to build a team. you have to have a mix of young and old blood.

he may not "handle" them as well, but as a vet
he knows “how” to handle them and when to get help from other linemen.

because we’re now in position to draft BPA regardless of potition instead of reaching for players to fill an immediate need. I still hope to draft a C for the future, but if not, it can now wait until next year.
The studs from the 2010 draft class will be: DT Ndamukong Suh, S Eric Berry, RB C.J. Spiller, RB Jahvid Best, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Golden Tate, WR Mardy Gilyard, OT Charles Brown, CB Kyle Wilson and S Chad Jones

You're a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It's the top spot, kid. It's the guy who takes the fall. It's the guy everybody's looking at first - the leader of a team - who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. 'Cause you make them believe. That's a quarterback.

Cassel can lead us.
This guy is one season removed from the Pro Bowl.
He clearly takes good care of himself and if he thinks he has a year left in him he likely does.

If Pioli was listening to us we would have Boldin, a bunch of FAs and no draft picks.

Holy balls...
I hope they still have him coming in after the Weigmann signing…
so should we talk about our fullback problem?
cox is average. and he might not even come back.. but maybe tony richardson will?

Be nice to get a project center to learn behind the best center in Chiefs more recent history.
Welcome back Casey. We hope youre still in Probowl form like you were a couple years ago.

Wonder if the Center to be looked at is someone we haven't discussed much on here?

I'll make a bold (maybe foolish) assumption....we will have a new center from the 2010 draft.

I think thats a safe bet.
Because neither Niswanger or Weigmann are the answer. And I would guess you bring Weigmann in to mentor someone or something.

Good points, but don't we have only 53 spots on the roster?
The NFL should expand that amount since the developmental leagues no longer exist. Something more than a practice squad, or at the least expand the definition of the practice squad. 80 players in the total roster with only the 45 active on game day would be nice.

Jason La Canfora "Weigmann is not likely to start"
Has he seen Niswanger play?

Edit:
“Weigmann is not likely to start tomorrow.”

Whatever...
I’ll let the Weis and Haley figure that out and not trust LaConfora. He’s kind of a clown, IMO.
thanks for the Pro Bowl in '08 Casey
best luck to him back in your house. Except when DEN and KC matchup.

Kinda felt the same way about ZT and Goff.

In a ZB scheme, I think he'll be ok
He wasn’t set for our new power running style which is why he was underperforming last year (age relevant too). I think he can have a good year left

and also
he’s only 2 years removed from the Pro Bowl bid. Age will get him, but there’s reason to hope it hasn’t caught him too fast.

I changed his Wiki page!
Check out his Pro Career bio.
Winning begins with Attitude - Haley and Pioli will be winners in KC!
I'll forever be a Chiefs fan! Only God himself could take that away from me, but when I get to my great reward, I'll rejoin two bigger fans, my Mom and Dad.
Cool! I see you removed the pic of him as a Bronco
What the world needs is more geniuses with humility, there are so few of us left.
Yeah, I dont know how to put a new one in there.

The Center we draft this year
Can just play guard for a year then move over, that is assuming Casey plays well.

Berry, then a combo of BPA and NEED

Casey and Lilja
If Lilja is signed too, would one think that we won’t be drafting line men with the 5th pick. I see the stars aligning for Berry.
You read my mind tdbowe
I was scrollin down here to ask nearly the same question.
It is widely believed that if we took Oher LT we would push Albert to LG and Waters to C.
So, with the signing of Wiegmann at C and the bringing in of Lilja on mondays….how does that shift the probability that we arent looking for Oher at #5? More of a probability question than an up or down question.
I’m kinda pressing to know because im sick of Walter’s (of Walters football mock draft fame) obsessed with us taking an OT in the 5#. He has now movied Oher to second pick (which is a good prediciton). But he refuses to budge on OT and has now plugged in Baluga to our 5# pick. Can someone talk some sense to this man? Please? haha.
I'm now a bit concerned
about signing Lilja. If he and Weigmann are lining up next to each other, that’s two undersized linemen in the middle of the o-line. One is fine, but I’m beginning to wonder if Niswanger would be better at RG than anyone else. I sure liked him there when he took over for John Welbourne before blowing out his knee and then moving to center the following season. If he can still pull in space like he could 3 years ago, then I think he’d be more than adequate at RG.
The studs from the 2010 draft class will be: DT Ndamukong Suh, S Eric Berry, RB C.J. Spiller, RB Jahvid Best, WR Arrelious Benn, WR Golden Tate, WR Mardy Gilyard, OT Charles Brown, CB Kyle Wilson and S Chad Jones
Casey's signing shows Herm's youth movement is still alive
Actually, I think it is a good move – old, but an upgrade
Here’s the ESPN blog report
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcwest/post/_/id/10976/chiefs-bring-back-wiegmann
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
That might actually be a strong possibility
nice thought…

re
cant have 4 rookies on the oline. they will all be free agents in 4-6 years at the same time
Holy Moly
Didn’t see this one coming, but I’m stoked that we won’t be starting Niswanger at center anymore. Let Rudy take the Wade Smith role and be the versatile backup. Sign Lilja, draft a promising rookie, develop Brown, and the line will be looking vastly better than last year.
Hopefully this won’t be Donnie Edwards part 2, but Weigman should have another year or two in the tank. Some centers can play effectively into their late 30’s, and if Weigman can do it, he can break in a rookie who is ready to take over in a year or two.
