Former Kansas City Chiefs right tackle Andrew Wylie plans to sign a three-year, $24 million deal with the Washington Commanders, according to a source. He will reunite with offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. Wylie started 59 games in five seasons with the Chiefs and had the game of his life in the Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The 28-year-old spent the first five seasons of his career in Kansas City and has experience at the guard and tackle spots, giving Washington versatility. In D.C., Wylie is expected to start at right tackle in 2023 and beyond.
The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed offensive tackle Andrew Wylie to a one-year, $2.133 million deal Tuesday and released quarterback Jordan Ta'amu in a corresponding move. The restricted free agent was tendered a contract offer back in mid-March, and Wylie signed the tender on Tuesday. He signed with the team in 2018 and has become a reliable and valuable depth player on the team's offensive line. Wylie has started 35 games at three different positions in the last three seasons for Kansas City. But with the guard position being extremely competitive heading into 2021, he'll have to prove his worth alongside players like Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, Joe Thuney, Kyle Long, Austin Blythe and Trey Smith.
