Three Chiefs who could follow Mike Kafka to New York Giants

Andrew Wylie

If there’s a single player the New York Giants might like to bring in this season from the Chiefs (within reason), Andrew Wylie would certainly fit the bill given the team’s woes along the offensive line in recent years. In fact, it seems as if the team has been struggling up front on offense for multiple regimes now.

At this point, the Giants offensive line is Andrew Thomas at left tackle and little else with so many names headed for free agency. That’s okay because the players departing have not been good. What this line needs is a clean sweep. Who better to help patch things back together for the Giants than a guy who has been filling in all over the place for the Chiefs the last few years?

The Chiefs will be smarting if they watch Wylie leave in free agency but they should be planning for such things already since Wylie has definitely earned himself a significant raise in free agency. Wylie has played admirably for the Chiefs for a full season (or almost) at left guard, right guard, and right tackle, giving him a strong body of work to impress potential suitors.

The truth is that the Giants could sign someone like Wylie to a solid multi-year deal and figure out where to put him in training camp, allowing them some security as they scan the market and draft board to follow the value where it leads. If Wylie starts at left guard or right guard, the Giants are in good hands. If he lands at right tackle, the performance there in the past has been adequate at least and it doesn’t have to be a long-term fix.
