weighed in
Offered an opinion
Weighed in is the past tense of weigh in, meaning to offer one's opinion or contribution to a discussion: Several experts weighed in on the controversy.
The phrase comes from boxing, where fighters must weigh in before a match to confirm they meet weight requirements.
That literal sense persists: He weighed in at 185 pounds.
