According to ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler, the K.C. Chiefs have reportedly checked in on free agent offensive tackle Russell Okung.
For the last few weeks, ever since the release of veterans Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz, Chiefs fans have been waiting for news of any potential addition at offensive tackle. Save for the failed courtship of Trent Williams, who spurned a reportedly top-shelf offer from the Chiefs to re-sign with the San Francisco 49ers, the Chiefs haven’t really made any moves to alleviate the concerns of fans who worry about protecting Patrick Mahomes.
