Chiefs Reportedly Hosting Ryan Lilja Today

I get the feeling that he wants to come back to KC considering he has already been told by pioli that they don’t want to pay top dollar. And yet he still come to work out anyway. I could be wrong though.

Lilja fits the zone blocking scheme that we seem to be running, also, he’s 28, which means as linemen go, he’s in his prime still. He’s a hard worker, has champion experience, And, also, he’s a hometown guy. Taking Ryan Lilja will help our offensive line for years to come. While this may not be as big as signing Willie Roaf was a few years back, this could be in the same league of signing in my opinion.

Is going to be the deciding factor over money.

If he has a good workout. i doubt nickels and dimes get in the way of the deal. The chiefs are displaying a sense of urgency to upgrade positions of need. We continue to make moves in F.A. that will allow us to draft according to our board. I’m all for signing some older proven interior lineman….doesn’t mean we won’t draft OL in second round. But witih our first pick…..we should have a bit more flexibility.

Very Exciting friends!!

KC without a contract, he would sure up that section of the line at least for the next 5 to 7 years. This will also lower the need to draft a linemen in the first round so we can sign E Berry.

..it’s like they have a direction or something. I’m not used to optimism.

We have the money available… I think its worth it even if it requires a little reach… Need to protect that 60M QB

Young, solid, pass protecting guard, his run blocking lacks some ooomph. He’s at a reasonable price and it’s we’re not playing the Colts schedule so he could actually look better this year.

i’m staying away from that D word, or the word that rhymes with Terry – but there has to be a limit on how many rookies you have on your o-line, one shouldn’t have too many because Cassell could get killed, and you have to resign them all at once.

I just hope all of these free agent signings don’t end up like last years and get cut before the season starts and then the players come back with sour grapes (ex. Amani Toomer’s comments about KC’s practice routines not being up to In his opinion " pro football standards" and Zach Thomas trying to take legal action against KC. And for those of you who don’t know there is a couple of good o-lineman left…like Montrae Holland from Dallas who appears to not be tendered but idk with the RFA deal going on but most sites say he’s UFA. I know that O-Lineman is going to be a priority in the draft, but I think I’m like everyone else in the area lol we want Berry. But to be honest I’d be just as happy with Rolando McClain at MLB because there are reports out there saying he’s projecting as mainly a weak side defender in the middle of a 3-4..which means perfect to be next to Williams or Johnson. Although I would LOVE to get Berry in the draft…Rolando McClain is a safer piece to build around. Plus Chiefs fans you KNOW the donkeys want him. and oh yeah and how is everyone feeling about not having to see that #21 chargers jersey anymore LOL

If he’s healthy, he’d better not leave KC!!!!
This would be HUGE for our O-line and would really change our draft priorities, enabeling us to take players @ skill positons early and hold off on o-line until the later rounds!
An O-line of Albert, Waters, Weigman, Lilja and O’Calaghan would go a long way to help us open up this offense and solidify our offensive identity
