The Kansas City Chiefs have reached an agreement with the top available free agent interior lineman, Ryan Lilja.

Lilja started 59 games on an Indianapolis Colts team that had the league’s best regular season record throughout his tenure there.

This move, in a way is admitting they were wrong; the Chiefs cut Lilja in 2004, hoping he would make their practice squad, and he was claimed by the Colts a day later, eventually starting in a pair of Super Bowls and actually beating the Chiefs in the 2007 playoffs.

The Chiefs have had a solid off-season coming off a 4-12 record last year, landing pro bowl running back Thomas Jones, and a pair of starters along a revamped offensive line in Lilja and center Casey Wiegmann, who’s back in Kansas City after his two year stint with the Denver Broncos.
