The Chiefs continue to bolster their depth along the offensive line.

The team made at least one claim during roster cuts and it was for former Iowa Hawkeyes and Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Ike Boettger (pronounced BUT-gir). The Iowa Hawkeyes have a reputation of turning out NFL calibur offensive linemen, so this is a safe claim by the Chiefs.

Boettger was among training camp and preseason standouts for the Bills. He first worked in with the second team offensive line for the Bills in training camp after an injury to another player and stuck there throughout the preseason. He worked mostly at right guard.

Many fans and analysts alike claim that the Bills second team offensive line performed better as a unit than their starting offensive line during the preseason. Boettger was a big part of that success for the Bills. However, he is a better fit for a zone blocking scheme like the one the Chiefs than the mostly power scheme that the Bills run.

Boettger will make for the fourth 2018 undrafted free agent to make the Chiefs 53-man roster. He joins former teammate Ben Niemann, running back Darrel Williams and trade acquisition Charvarius Ward. That’s a lot of undrafted free agents to have shaping out the bottom of your roster. Hopefully it will pay off for the Chiefs and general manager Brett Veach.

The Chiefs still need to make a corresponding roster move in order to make room for Boettger. We’ll update this post with that move later today.
