He&#8217;s mostly been a backup interior offensive lineman in the NFL, playing snaps at right guard and just three snaps at right tackle during his time with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>He spent time last offseason with the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks\u00a0and\u00a0New Orleans Saints\u00a0and on the practice squad with the\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0during the 2024 NFL season.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-twitter-embed\">\n<figure class=\"m-embed mm-embed--twitter l-inline\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=goldmctNFL&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1923496750247182516&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fatozsports.com%2Fnfl%2Fkansas-city-chiefs-news%2Fchiefs-sign-veteran-tremayne-anchrum-spice-up-left-guard-competition-90-man-roster%2F&amp;sessionId=fbd87fbd6b14b038d0beb3535e5ef5c24335398c&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-gtm-yt-inspected-13=\"true\" data-tweet-id=\"1923496750247182516\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"why-did-the-chiefs-sign-tremayne-anchrum-jr\">Why did the Chiefs sign Tremayne Anchrum Jr.?<\/h2>\n<p>The Chiefs need to add some veteran depth to their offensive line. While Anchrum has played sparingly in the NFL, he has championship DNA. He is a two-time College Football Playoff National Champion with the Clemson Tigers (2016, 2019) and won Super Bowl LVI with the Rams.<\/p>\n<p>At 6-foot-2 and 314 pounds, he&#8217;s probably not going to play offensive tackle in Kansas City. But he could play left guard, right guard, and even center for the Chiefs during OTAs and training camp. Right now, he should be viewed as a camp body for OTAs, mandatory minicamp, and training camp. Still, there&#8217;s little doubt that he could add some more competition at the left guard position\u00a0with Kingsley Suamataia and Mike Caliend<a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/nfl\/kansas-city-chiefs-news\/chiefs-hc-andy-reid-confirms-suspicion-offseason-roster-battle-left-guard-mike-caliendo-kingsley-suamataia\/\">o<\/a>. He brings more experience than both players and will undoubtedly be motivated to compete for a chance to start and impress.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"mm-horizontal-rule mm-horizontal-rule--hr1\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"other-transactions-for-the-chiefs\">Other transactions for the Chiefs<\/h2>\n<p>San Jose State WR Justin Lockhart, who was signed as a UDFA ahead of rookie minicamp and waived with an injury designation just after, cleared waivers after agreeing to an injury settlement. He&#8217;s now a free agent. Chiefs RB Keaontay Ingram, who was waived with an injury designation on Thursday, went on injured reserve. He could be the next player to agree to an injury settlement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0have moved swiftly to fill the final spot on their 90-man offseason roster.
