KC Chiefs: The best kept roster secrets for 2022

3. Andrew Wylie, offensive tackle

We mentioned four of the Chiefs’ starting offensive linemen at the top, but we neglected to report on the team’s (likely) fifth starter, veteran offensive tackle Andrew Wylie. The Eastern Michigan product joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018, and has consistently and effectively contributed in each of his four NFL seasons, including starting 10 games in his rookie season, as an undrafted free agent!

Despite spending most of his college days and much of the first part of his NFL career at guard, Wylie has demonstrated versatility by sliding out to tackle over the past couple of seasons, including spending time at both the left and the right tackle positions.

Kansas City values reliability and versatility, and perhaps no one demonstrates those two characteristics better than right tackle Andrew Wylie. The Chiefs have relied on him for years, and he’s currently a steal in terms of the salary cap, counting only $1.2 million against the ceiling this season. A free agent after the 2022 campaign, there is little doubt that general manager Brett Veach and head coach Andy Reid will show significant interest in bringing back the stalwart. Likewise, there is little doubt that in order to do so, the team will have to offer him a very nice raise – NFL teams pay for players like Wylie who are not only reliable but can line up at multiple positions up front.
