Chargers<\/a> are hosting free agent guard Spencer Burford for a visit.<\/p>\nBurford, a former fourth-round pick out of\u00a0UTSA, spent the past four seasons with the\u00a049ers, where he started 38 games. In the 2025 season, he played 11 games, earning a\u00a0PFF\u00a0run-blocking grade of 62.6 while allowing only two sacks across 458 offensive snaps.<\/p>\n
Mike McDaniel\u2019s offense, like San Francisco’s system, relies on an\u00a0outside-zone\u00a0run game that requires offensive linemen to move laterally with speed and athleticism, which Burford possesses.<\/p>\n
If signed, Burford would likely compete for a starting guard spot or provide high-end depth.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles has been active in reconstructing the interior part of the offensive line, signing center Tyler Biadasz and guard Cole Strange, and re-signing Trey Pipkins and Trevor Penning.<\/p>\n
