Chiefs agreed to terms with G/T Geoff Schwartz, formerly of the Vikings.
Schwartz appeared in 13 games as a reserve last season after losing the Vikings' right guard job to Brandon Fusco. Schwartz missed all of 2011 with a hip injury, but was a 16-game starter for the Panthers in 2010, primarily at right guard. He'll be a swing man off the Chiefs' bench, and could start in a pinch.

The Chiefs are expected to sign free agent G/T Geoff Schwartz.

Schwartz was a 16-game starter in 2010 for the Panthers, but missed all of 2011 due to hip surgery and then lost his 2012 starting job with the Vikings to Brandon Fusco. Still, he's just 26 years old, can play multiple positions on the line and handles himself well in the running game. It's another quality move from the new Andy Reid regime.

Geoff Schwartz - T - Chiefs

DraftInsider.Net's Tony Pauline "(continues) to hear" the Jets will target OG Geoff Schwartz in free agency.

Schwartz is capable of playing both guard and tackle, but couldn't beat out RG Brandon Fusco for a starting job in Minnesota last season. Schwartz missed all of 2011 with a hip injury, but did start all 16 games for the Panthers at right tackle in 2010. He'd provide cheap, versatile depth for a Jets line that got a bad rap in 2012, but has insisted he has no intention of being a backup. Perhaps he could replace free agent LG Matt Slauson.

Free agent G Geoff Schwartz has no intention of signing on as a backup.

With Brandon Fusco locked in at right guard in Minnesota, Schwartz is expected to move on. He's still just 26 and started 16 games for the Panthers in 2010, so there's some potential here. Expect Schwartz to land somewhere he can compete for a starting gig.

The Vikings and impending free agent G/T Geoff Schwartz are expected to "move on" from each other.

Schwartz signed a one-year deal last offseason, but lost out to Brandon Fusco for the starting right guard spot after Schwartz was sidelined for upwards of a month during the summer with a sports hernia. He missed the entire 2011 season due to hip surgery, but in 2010, Schwartz started all 16 games for the Panthers and proved to be a solid run blocker. He's looking for a starting job.

Vikings OG Geoff Schwartz will be sidelined 4-6 weeks after undergoing surgery to remove a sports hernia.

Schwartz will miss the remainder of camp, and possibly 2-3 regular season games. The injury locks Brandon Fusco in as the Vikings' starting right guard. Schwartz is a valuable run blocker when at full health, but missed all of 2011 with a hip injury. With so little time in the Vikings system, he could have a hard time carving out consistent snaps upon his return.

Vikings OG Geoff Schwartz is out indefinitely with a sports hernia.

If Schwartz needs surgery, he'll be out 4-6 weeks, putting his status for Week 1 into jeopardy. The unfortunate injury likely locks Brandon Fusco into the starting job at right guard. Schwartz would return as a swing-type backup.

GM Rick Spielman confirms OL Geoff Schwartz will compete for the Vikings' right guard job.

Capable of playing both guard and tackle, Schwartz started 11 games at right guard for the Panthers in 2010, but missed all of 2011 with a hip injury. Provided he's healthy, the job should be Schwartz's to lose after he landed $1.5 million last week.

Geoff Schwartz - T - Chiefs

Vikings agreed to terms with OL Geoff Schwartz on a one-year, $1.5 million contract.

Schwartz, who turns 26 before the season, will likely battle for the Vikings' starting right guard job, which was vacated by Anthony Herrera's release. Schwartz can be a nasty run blocker when he's at full strength, but he missed all of 2011 due to hip surgery. Schwartz has since declared himself 100 percent.

Visiting the Lions on Thursday, free agent G/T Geoff Schwartz also visits lined up with the Chiefs and 49ers.

Geoff Schwartz - T - Chiefs

Free agent G/T Geoff Schwartz will reportedly visit the Lions.

A restricted free agent, Schwartz wasn't tendered a contract by the Panthers after missing all of 2011 with a hip injury. He's still only 25, however, and started all 16 games in 2010. He could be a versatile, cheap steal on the open market if he's back to full health.

Geoff Schwartz - T - Chiefs

Free agent T/G Geoff Schwartz confirmed on Twitter Wednesday night that he is healthy after missing all of 2011 due to hip surgery.

Beat writer Darin Gantt insists Schwartz wasn't tendered due to a "business decision," but the Panthers would easily have offered him the one-year, $1.26 million proposal if they thought highly of Schwartz. Young and a mauler with starting experience at right guard and right tackle, Schwartz should have several suitors. Old pal John Fox may give him a look in Denver.

The Panthers will not tender G/T Geoff Schwartz, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Schwartz flashed dominant run-blocking ability as a 16-game starter at right tackle in 2010, but missed all of last season after hip surgery. Schwartz, 25, was a good enough prospect that we suspect he would have received a restricted free agent tender had he been healthy. Schwartz's NFL future is uncertain.
