Reading Bob Hayes's depth chart thread, I'm wondering who's the swing tackle or do we even have one. Remmers can backup G and T, which could be helpful when Tyron starts missing games and we have shuffle or need a legit replacement. He's should also come cheap........
T MIKE REMMERS, KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Remmers was brought back to Kansas City to serve as the swing tackle after lining up all over the Chiefs offensive line during the 2020 playoffs, and he was his usual reliable self in two spot-starts at right tackle in Weeks 6-7 before a nagging knee injury ended his season. Remmers has never earned a pass-blocking grade below 60.0 over nine seasons and 3,700 pass-blocking snaps. He should continue to draw interest as a swing tackle if his health recovers.
Strengths:
-Experience at both tackle positions and guard
-One of the better run-blocking grades on gap runs since 2015
Weaknesses:
-Below average pass-blocker on true pass sets
-Low percentage of positively graded plays in the running game
Scheme Fit/Role:
SWING TACKLE: Remmers could be a low-end starter at tackle, but any team that has him as their No. 6 offensive lineman is feeling good up front. He can play either tackle position or guard in a pinch, and he's performed reasonably throughout his career.
Recent Injury History:
In 2020, Remmers missed time due to a back injury, and he landed on injured reserve with a knee injury in 2021.
Contract Projection: One year, $2.75 million, $2 million total guaranteed
Bottom Line:
Remmers is a class swing tackle who can produce at a reasonable level at either tackle or guard. We've seen him overwhelmed by elite talent at times throughout his career, and he needs some help in pass protection, but he's as good as it gets as a No. 6 offensive lineman.
