The Kansas City Chiefs continue to look for ways to improve their roster, this time looking at a trio of offensive linemen. According to the NFL’s official transaction report, the Chiefs had three players in for tryouts on Saturday. Among those trying out for Kansas City were veteran OL Patrick Omameh, OT Paul Adams and OT John Leglue.
Omameh, 30, spent the 2019 season with the New Orleans Saints. He appeared in 14 games, starting at left tackle in their Week 11 road win against the Atlanta Falcons during Thanksgiving. He also filled in at left guard on occasion for New Orleans. An undrafted free agent out of Michigan in 2013, Omameh has started a total of 57 games during his career. Most of his experience comes playing guard, but he has the ability to play tackle in a pinch. The Saints released Omameh during their final roster cuts.
Leglue, 24, was also released by New Orleans during 53-man roster cuts. Leglue was originally signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Tulane in 2019. He was released and spent most of the 2019 season on the Saints’ practice squad before he was poached by the Green Bay Packers late in the season. The 6-6 and 301-pound offensive lineman has the versatility to play tackle or guard.
Finally, the Chiefs worked out former University of Missouri OT Paul Adams. He originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2019. He’s since spent time on the practice squad for the Cleveland Browns and he spent this most recent offseason with the Washington Football Team before his release during 53-man roster cuts.
Kansas City also recently had in former Bills OT Brandon Walton in for a visit. It’s clear they’re trying to add some more versatile depth for the offensive line. Specifically, they seem to be looking at players that have the flexibility to play tackle. They currently don’t have anyone on their 16-man practice squad with experience playing tackle. The Chiefs didn’t retain either of the two depth tackles who were with them this offseason in Jackson Barton and Greg Senat.
