1. Will Kansas City Chiefs let Andrew Wylie walk in free agency?

It is funny to think, but between Orlando Brown, and Andrew Wylie, the Kansas City Chiefs are probably more likely to re-sign Wylie. Some of it comes down to one being much more cost-efficient. Another factor stems from Wylie genuinely coming off as someone who loves playing with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

Still, Orlando Brown is better than Andrew Wylie. Wylie is a gritty blocker, but he is the weak spot on the Chiefs’ line. That sounds harsh to say before saying the Bears should sign him, but he is still a huge upgrade from what the Bears had last season.

Beyond that, Wylie has experience at right guard, and left guard.  He moved around a lot before spending his last two seasons at right tackle.

Orlando Brown is the high-risk signing that will cost a lot and may not come through. Andrew Wylie is not going to be an expensive signing and it is hard to see him not living up to his deal. Still, there is no upside that they are signing an All-Pro here. This will have to be factored into their decision.
