Chiefs would be smart to bring Zach Fulton back but probably can’t afford it

Chiefs offensive lineman Zach Fulton reminds me a little bit of Jeff Allen, the former Chiefs guard who is now with the Texans. Allen was a Chiefs free agent a couple years ago and the Chiefs probably wanted to bring him back but given the market they couldn’t afford him. Allen signed for $28 million over four years in Houston.

Fulton is similar. I want the Chiefs to bring him back. He’s versatile having played both center and guard this season alone. Because of that he’s kind of like two players for the price of one. Coaches love that roster flexibility. Fulton has some value to the Chiefs.

Because he’s valuable, someone is going to pay him. Probably more than what the Chiefs want to pay him. The Chiefs view him as a “sixth starter” but some team out there is going to view him as a real starter.

I want him back. I don’t expect it to happen. What do you think?
