When they signed former Houston Texans offensive tackle Geron Christian on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs snuck in what should be a sneaky-good acquisition.
Christian became the third 25-year-old free agent Kansas City has signed in the past week. Originally entering the NFL as a third-round draft choice for the Washington Commanders in 2018 — taken right before the Chiefs drafted defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (who was re-signed on Sunday) — Christian spent three less-than-stellar seasons in Washington before turning in his best performances with the Texans in 2021.
Early indications suggest this is more of a depth move, getting the kind of player who can serve as an adequate backup at both left and right tackle.
