The Kansas City Chiefs have made another move to bolster their interior offensive line by signing a center named Austin.
No... not former starter Austin Reiter — whom the Chiefs had been reported to be interested in re-signing — but former Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Austin Blythe. The Chiefs brought Blythe in on a one-year deal worth up to $1.75 million based on his playing time and team performance. This was the final position along the interior offensive line that hadn’t been yet addressed in free agency.
Blythe has started 47 of the last 48 games for the Rams, spending 2020 as the starting center.
