The Chiefs were cruising through the regular season and much of the postseason in 2020, but the team faltered in the Super Bowl. Kansas City was forced to utilize a depleted offensive line as Tampa Bay pulled off the upset in the season’s final game.
Vikings fans who watched the game saw a familiar sight: Mike Remmers getting beat on the offensive line. Remmers, a former Vikings player, was tabbed by The Athletic as Minnesota’s worst free agency signing of the past decade. Here’s what Chad Graff of the outlet wrote:
“There are a few options, including receiver Greg Jennings, who played only two years with the Vikings after signing a five-year, $45 million contract. But we’re going with this ill-fated attempt at fixing the offensive line woes that have lasted nearly a decade. The Vikings gave Remmers his first big contract, a five-year, $30 million deal after he made $2.5 million with Carolina. But Remmers struggled so much as a right tackle in his first year in Minnesota that the team moved him to guard, where his struggles continued and led to him being cut after two seasons.”
Now, in a lot of ways, the Vikings could use Remmers’ help again after Riley Reiff departed this offseason. However, Remmers re-signed with the Chiefs this offseason.
