Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the Kansas City Chiefs are getting started with mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, it&#8217;s a great time to evaluate some of the offseason signings and some of the early impacts that&#8217;ve already been made.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\">Following the news that first-round left tackle Josh Simmons is expected to start, provided he&#8217;s healthy, the offensive line appears set aside from the ongoing battle at left guard between Kingsley Suamataia and Mike Caliendo.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\">Given Jawaan Taylor&#8217;s salary, he&#8217;ll almost certainly be the starter at right tackle. With Simmons ahead on the left side, that means that offseason signing Jaylon Moore is already a bit of a disappointment. He joined on a two-year, $30 million contract, yet that&#8217;s a big overpay if he&#8217;s only going to serve as a depth piece.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chiefs agree to 2-year, $30M deal with OT Jaylon Moore.

It&#8217;s wise to have backup options, especially coming off a year that saw Kansas City start four different left tackles. That said, an average of $15 million per year for someone who won&#8217;t even start is a poor use of the cap.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\">It seems like the Chiefs didn&#8217;t know they&#8217;d have an opportunity to draft Simmons. Moore was signed prior to the 2025 NFL Draft and if Kansas City knew they&#8217;d get Simmons, it feels unlikely they wouldn&#8217;t pursued Moore in free agency.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\">To be clear, Moore has done nothing wrong at this point. He ranked 25th out of 140 qualified tackles at Pro Football Focus, so perhaps there&#8217;s room for growth. We&#8217;ll see how he looks at mandatory minicamp and maybe he has a chance to push Taylor on the right side, though the organization would&#8217;ve been better off giving Joe Thuney a new contract instead of signing Moore.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\">Hindsight is always 20\/20, of course. The Chiefs needed to fix the offensive line but by choosing Moore over Thuney, the unit may actually take a step back in 2025.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"inline-text-10\"><\/h3>\n<figure><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While the Kansas City Chiefs are getting started with mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, it&#8217;s a great time to evaluate some of the offseason signings and some of th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":70996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
