Chiefs sign veteran OL Tremayne Anchrum for roster depth

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed veteran offensive guard Tremayne Anchrum to bolster their offensive line depth for the upcoming season. Anchrum, who was a seventh-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 and has a Super Bowl ring from his time with them, played in all 17 games during the 2023 season but has since moved among several teams including the Seahawks, Saints, and Texans. The Chiefs view Anchrum as a valuable experienced backup option, particularly as they look to fill gaps at the left guard position alongside younger players like Mike Caliendo and Kingsley Suamataia. Despite not playing much recently and facing tough competition for roster spots, Anchrum's experience and prior on-field activity make him an appealing insurance policy for the Chiefs' offensive line. This signing is part of the Chiefs' ongoing efforts to address offensive line weaknesses that contributed to their Super Bowl loss. Additionally, the team placed running back Keaontay Ingram on injured reserve, indicating further roster adjustments.
