3 Former Pro Bowlers the Chiefs Can Still Sign in Free Agency
By Joe Summers
2. David Bakhtiari - LT
The Chiefs have a hole at left tackle unless they believe in Wanya Morris' ability to start in 2024, making a former All-Pro like David Bakhtiari a possible low-risk move.
Bakhtiari spent 11 seasons in Green Bay as one of the NFL's best offensive linemen. While he's suffered injuries in the last couple of years that zapped his effectiveness, he's still a five-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowler that could be a one-year starter as Morris or a rookie develop. If he gets hurt again, we already know Morris can step in like he did when Donovan Smith went down last year.
Watching David Bakhtiari throwing blocks 70 yards downfield will never cease to amaze...

He's not the athlete he once was, though his experience pulling and willingness to block down the field would perfectly complement the Chiefs' stout offensive line.
After spending the majority of his career as a fan-favorite holding down Aaron Rodgers' blindside, could he end his career chasing a Super Bowl while protecting Patrick Mahomes?
I'm hoping the answer is yes.
