Poll: Should The Chiefs Take Casey Wiegmann Back?
by Joel Thorman on Jul 18, 2011 1:45 PM CDT
Email
PrintBy now most Kansas City Chiefs fans have heard that C Casey Wiegmann, who is scheduled to be a free agent in 2011, says he wants to return to football next season. There had been some rumblings that Wiegmann was considering retirement but that's apparently not the case anymore.
We've talked several times this offseason about Wiegmann's future and what the Chiefs should do if he decides to return. If you've read those stories, then you know my position -- I think the Chiefs should make every effort to re-sign him. (Yes, I have a problem with letting go.)
But will the Chiefs actually take him back?
That's what we'll find out sometime in the next couple of weeks when free agency starts.
For now, though, we put it up to a vote. Should the Chiefs bring Wiegmann back?

Yes we should bring him back on a 1 year contract to help bring Hudson up to speed

Weigmann is rated the 4th best Center in the NFL 2008-2010
this is a no-brainer

correctamundo.
It’s time for “out with the old and in with the new”….but when it comes to the skill position of Center….for this team right now, the old…..is Rudy Niswanger.
See ya Rudy.

Most definitely
Unless he asks for a huge amount there is no reason not too.

As long as he doesn't get anal about the consecutive snaps streak, then yes.
I want him back, but not playing every single snap of every single game.

I think if you vote no you should be required to put your genius alternative to Weigmann in the comments section.

off topic...
did anyone else see the conversation that Shaun Smith and Donte’ Stallworth had today on twitter? worth a look if you have a moment…
It's great to finally trust the men making the important decisions at 1 Arrowhead Drive.
Sounds like he wants to be a Chief...
I remember reading somewhere that he told someone he was going to be a Chief this season.. I know that it doesn’t mean the Chiefs are interested but it gives us something to think about..
Sorry Donte

Accidental death is far from murder and a poor choice in words. In the USA we are
open to give people second chances after they have paid a price for the actions or circumstances in which they were a part. So as far as I am concerned keep your Canadian bullshit in Canada. The guy that died was a drunk who walked between some cars outside a designated crosswalk into his cars path, hardly murder, just an accident. Sure Domte was drinkin, but you take to much of yourself and opinions here Craig. This is something that Scotty and Todd can figure out without your loudmothed canadian opinions
Can't you make your point without introducing bigotry into it?
What does his being Canadian have to do with anything he said?
by Tarkus on Jul 18, 2011 5:07 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
It is simply politics, and Canadians are different politically and it ain't bigotry,
it’s standing up for the American Way. I keep seeing our values gettin trod upon and I either roll over and let the &^#%& get away with it or NOT. You don’t like that’s ok, it’s your right to. But having foreigners talkin crap like that is something different.
You dont know the first thing about me or my politics
So feel free to settle the hell down. It was a joke, and the fact you are defending a guy who was a) drunk and b) driving tells me all I need to know. I wasn’t talking crap about your country, despite your anti-canadian tirade.

Bullshit Craig, murder ain't a jokin matter. Ain't defending the player, but
having a second chance is something I believe in here. I am not anti Canadian, but anti bullshit which you like to peddle.

Seriously dubld?

I'm not gonna attack Craig's opinion or nationality
I no it was and is a touchy issue still. I got into a heated debate with manypeople at the time on NFL.com. But I agree that, while in no way should he be drinking and driving, from the circumstances and what the guy did (more or less just walked out into the street) it wouldn’t have mattered whether Stallworth was drunk or not the guy would have been hit. With how close the guy alledgedly was at the time (sorry I don’t remember specifics) no one would have had a fast enough reaction time, sober or not, to stop in time.

DonteStallworth Yall have room for me over there bro? Red is my fav color ya know! RT @autumnsjs90: @DonteStallworth I know u are bro
Has to be
Smith can back up and rotate at both NT and DE. Without him, we have either Gilberry or Bailey try to start at LDE. Gilberry’s not great against the run and Bailey hasn’t been able to work with the coaches yet.
yeah, I agree
I think Smith also brings an attitude to the defensive line that is much needed… and the coaches know it
Thanks.
I kinda saw that. I wasn’t sure if there was supposed to be more to it than that or what. And that Smith’s respose didn’t totally make sense lol.

I refused to use any of the social media sites until I realized how entertaining it was to follow my favorite athletes. Sometimes, it makes me made when they say things at 2:00 a.m. and sometimes much later/earlier. I want to say, “Go to bed. You have a long day in the gym tomorrow.” haha But I understand they are more than just athletes and they deserve to have a social life outside of football. I just hope I don’t want them to succeed more than they want to succeed themselves; if that makes any sense at all.

hi, Mo! 5 minutes!!!
Best case scenario
A bullet proof vet and a draft pick with Pioliesque expectations have competition at the position. Player that is best able to help the team win starts, just like every other position in KC. I’m guessing this competition will go on with Hudson taking over when CW can no longer answer the bell. That may well be the Lions game. Either way is nice depth and really shouldn’t have to miss a beat one way or the other.
It puts the lotion on it's skin.
Who gets the ax?
Casey is should get re-signed, but there is no way we carry all of these O linemen on the active roster. So we have to cut Rudy or harris (at least). Harris is the better guard, but Rudy has the most experience at C if Casey gets injured. Hudson was a guard in college, after all.
probably cut Rudy
I don’t think Harris has ever been a staple on the active roster, so it’d be somewhat of a surprise to see him make the team anyway.
having Waters, Weigmann, Lilja back along with Hudson and Asamoah is a pretty solid group of interior linemen.
Only one of whom
is a true center. Asomah and Hudson have limited college expereince at the position. I think it’s dangerous to have a guard-transitioning-to-center as your only insurance for a 38 year old O lineman.
not that dangerous
besides, nobody’s going to sign Rudy or Harris, IMHO… so if they didn’t think those guys would be ready to step in, they could sign one of them off the street
Both Hudson and Asamoah are talented and smart enough to do it. Waters could probalby do it in a pinch as well
That possibility makes me nervous though
when you consider the defenses we’ll face this year.

nah, not me :)
IMHO, this is still a much deeper and more talented group of OL than we’ve seen in YEARS
he is a super nice man on twitter...
he almost always replies when you ask him something…

Re-sign Casey Weigmann.
It’ll make his wife smile.
Okay, I’m done posting Danni Boatwright pictures for the day.
Chiefs FA/Draft Wish List: #2 WR (done); Pass Rushing OLB (done); Back-up or Developmental QB (done); True NT (maybe?, still want a solid starter in Franklin); OLINE help (C - done, RT); Depth (DE, OLB, ST - done)
Gotta see how Hudson looks in camp
Rookie O-lineman in general have an easy transition into the NFL if they were studs in college, and Hudson was. If he needs some tutoring, keep Weigs on.
Yes
Let him start in 2011, help develop Rodney Hudson into a NFL starter, and retire a Kansas City Chief after 2011. Just what I wanted!
Dear Scott Pioli,
Great job on the 2011 NFL Draft. Now please bring Shaun Smith back for 2011.
in one word YES !
if he satill has one more year left in him (and i believe its more ) then yes .. bring him back ..he did a decent job last year and imo the donkeys were fools for thinking he was done .
I voted no. This is a young ascending team with no need for older vets who cannot cut it
any longer. Pencil a Hudson/Niswanger battle in camp and let the best man play. If Rudy is not resigned then it is Asomoah or Harris battlin for the job with Hudson. If we are going to get better we have to let these young guys play, not keep the dinosaurs around. I like Wiegs but I like Vrable as well, still doesn’t make a roster spot on the team available.

Couldn't agree more
I’m tired of “mentors” kept around to break guys in. We are past that. Guys like Vrabel, Casey(in the 2nd half), Waters are just not up to NFL championship standards anymore, and should not be kept around simply to mentor, unless they’re gonna be backups. But your backups generally play specials, and these guys can’t. If I felt Haley would give Hudson a REAL shot at starting, then I would have no problem bringing Casey back, but I think if we sign Casey, he’ll start, no matter what, and that’s not in the Chiefs best interests, IMO.
I voted No because the interior of the OL couldn't get a push to convert 4th and less than a td on numerous occasions
Why go withthe same players again when they couldn’t get the job done last year? Also, the older guys on the OL wore down as the season went on, how’s that going to help the Chiefs win a playoff game? Time to get younger, stronger and more athletic, go with Hudson from day 1.
