Mike Caliendo: Everything you need to know

The Chiefs are signing Caliendo to a one-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Caliendo has played his first three seasons with the Chiefs and will return for at least one more. He made four starts among his 17 games last year and should serve as offensive line depth again in 2026.

Head coach Andy Reid told reporters Thursday that Caliendo is competing with Kingsley Suamataia for the team's top left guard spot ahead of the 2025 season, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports. Caliendo appeared in all 17 regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2024, playing 313 total snaps (237 offensive and 76 on special teams) and making three starts. The third-year pro could have the upper hand in Kansas City's left-guard battle, as Suamataia is transitioning to guard after playing tackle throughout his collegiate career at BYU.
