The Kansas City Chiefs are retaining depth on the offensive line intact ahead of the 2026 season.
According to a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Chiefs have agreed to terms on re-signing offensive lineman Mike Caliendo to a one-year deal. The deal was confirmed by his agent, Nate Richman of 3XL Sports Management.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid praised the progress and improvement of Caliendo last offseason and his impact on the offensive line.

“He’s (Mike Caliendo) had a great one. (He’s) a great kid – very, very smart. (He’s) a hard worker, (and) he’s gotten better every year,” said head coach Andy Reid during his 2025 minicamp press conference, “For him to step in and do what he did this past year, he knows he can play at this level.”
The former Western Michigan Bronco suited up for all 17 of the Kansas City’s regular-season games. Caliendo began his professional career with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and was a member of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVII and LVIII rosters.
Caliendo has played more than 700 snaps for the Chiefs’ offense over the past few seasons, including Super Bowl LVIII. Kansas City’s trust in the veteran has made him a valuable option on the offensive line in relief.
