The Chiefs really weren’t playing around about overhauling their offensive line. Hours after releasing both of their starting tackles, it looks like another starter on the O-line will be on the move shortly.
Center Austin Reiter will hit the open market and is expected to sign somewhere other than Kansas City, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network (Twitter link). Patrick Mahomes was running for his life in the Super Bowl, and the Chiefs are clearly making upgrading his protection their priority this offseason.
Reiter started 12 games this past year (and played every snap in the Super Bowl), and all 16 the season before. A seventh-round pick of Washington back in 2015, he quickly ended up on the Browns and only had one career start under his belt when he landed in Kansas City via a waiver claim in 2018.
He turned into a nice diamond in the rough find for the Chiefs as a serviceable player, but they’re now apparently looking for a player with more upside to man the pivot. Reiter turned 29 in November.
Really? Walk? I wonder how fans in wheelchairs think of this post. I immediately opened the post and was gripping and hoping and thankful he was alive and walking. Not enough Dennis Byrd stories of people being crippled playing football,pre car accident for him of course.
CHANGE IT.
Shut up Dave
I’m in a wheelchair, and you’re a true moron. Stop w the victimhood bs. Bet you have your pronouns listed in your profiles too. Cuck.

There’s a guy that’s a teacher in my area no joke named Richard Stillhard
Really? STFU. You’re one of the reasons the country is slipping quickly into the toilet.
Just stfu. You know what the headline meant
When that one person over thinks everything. ♂️
Is he paralyzed Dave. I hope
He walks again
Reiter pass blocks well. Not sure why Chiefs are letting him walk unless they think Allegretti is a starting center. Big Al certainly is a better run blocker, but do you want that much change on the o-line?
The Chiefs are soon going to find out that building an offensive line isn’t as easy as finding some pieces on the open market.
MileHighFan . The Broncos are going to find out building a TEAM isn’t as easy with their current regime. Don’t worry about the Chiefs.
I’m sure Donkey fans know this well from first hand experience!
As of right now, Denver’s o-line is actually better than KC’s. There’s no need to be touchy when all MileHighFan did was point out an obvious football fact. If you weren’t fans of the team in question you’d see that his comment is actually accurate-no team loses three offensive line starters in a year (quality starters at that) and replaces them pound for pound in a single year. The Chiefs had a quality o-line. They cannot honestly expect that these moves, while saving them money, will do anything to help improve its play.
Really? Fisher is out for the year then a free agent. Swartz just had back surgery and may retire after missing most of last season. Reiter? He lost his starting job for awhile last season. Yeah he was that good. KC made the right decisions.
I wonder if they bring back Remmers at RT. He played well enough there, and ESPN ranked him the 10th best OT, left or right, for pass blocking stops.
Reiff and Remmers, together again!
