AFCWEST 1,238 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Chiefs signed OG Kyle Long to a one-year contract. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the deal is worth up to $5 million. It's the Chiefs' second major addition at guard after signing Joe Thuney. Long actually has NFL experience at tackle — where the Chiefs are also replacing both starters — but he hasn't played there since 2015. The Chiefs could still be getting Laurent Duvernay-Tardif back at guard after he opted out of the 2020 season to help fight the coronavirus pandemic — LDT is a doctor — but his NFL future is uncertain. Headed into his age-33 campaign, Long was limited to 30 total appearances by injury between 2016-19. He's an upside addition, but the Chiefs will believe his contributions when they see them.

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Hopefully a low risk high reward or send him packing after camp. Can't imagine there being much if any guaranteed money oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Really hope they can pull in Reiff at this point. The possibility of two rookies at both T positions gives me indigestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I don’t know if they intend to move someone to tackle or just have uber depth. Now there are five guys who played guard on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now who can we get at Center unless they plan to draft one? I still say we need a vet LT or C and draft the other. Maybe Thuney or Long at LT? Hell Thuney has played center too. Veach lives his versatile linemen. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,598 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Screw it. Get Andrew's at Center and Reiff at LT. Draft behind them one of these guys. Now you have back up LT in Thuney or Long. Swing G, RT in Wiley. G depth for Allegretti and LDT and good to go. Biggjliv4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Maybe Schwartz resigns and plays either LT or RT with Niang playing the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balto 723 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Reports are the Panthers are going all in for Watson. Maybe trade #31 for Taylor Moton, one of the top young tackles in the NFL. They have other good tackles and that extra 1st could help getting Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
