Arrowheadlines: One Chiefs player in danger of losing his starting role

This past season, Nick Allegretti started nine games at left guard. With the addition or return of multiple offensive linemen, he seems like a long shot to retain his role in 2021.

The Kansas City Chiefs added a surefire starter and depth to their offensive line group, signing Joe Thuney, and Kyle Long and re-upping Mike Remmers. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif opted out of the 2020 campaign, but he’ll be suiting up next season.

Kansas City signed Thuney to a five-year, $80 million contract, so pen his name into a starting position. Primarily a left guard, he hasn’t missed a start since the New England Patriots selected him in the third round of the 2016 draft.
