Ex-49ers guard signs with Chiefs

Guard Andrew Tiller, 28, who started 14 games the past two seasons with the 49ers, signed with the Kansas City Chiefs, the team announced Wednesday morning.

Tiller replaced Jordan Devey in the 49ers’ starting lineup in 2015 and provided an immediately and dramatic upgrade over Devey, who struggled through nine starts at right guard.

Tiller earned the starting job at right guard to open last season, but was replaced after four games. The 49ers wanted to move first-round draft pick Joshua Garnett into the starting lineup.

According to Pro Football Focus, Tiller graded out as minus-3.
