NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that former San Francisco 49ers free agent offensive lineman signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.<\/p>\n
Burford, who started 38 games at both guard spots since 2022, gets a fresh start in the AFC West with the Raiders. The Niners elected to go a different route than they did with their former draft pick in free agency.<\/p>\n

The team added Brett Toth and Vederian Lowe, effectively closing the door on Burford\u2019s return to the Bay Area. Burford did his job and stepped in as needed. For a Day 3 pick to play and contribute as much as he did, Burford\u2019s tenure should be viewed as a success.<\/p>\n
Unfortuantely, the lowlights won\u2019t be forgotten, especially at the most critical times, which is what he will be remembered for.<\/p>\n
Burford joins a guard group in Las Vegas that includes Jordan Meredith, Atonio Mafi, and McClendon Curtis on the left side. So, he\u2019ll have an opportunity to earn a roster spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL Insider Aaron Wilson reported that former San Francisco 49ers free agent offensive lineman signed a one-year deal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818370,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,3258,14583,29384,1443,391,7,7036,1744,393,87636,25213,6,453,1161,252,2624,2623,7910,4819,7898],"class_list":{"0":"post-818369","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-aaron-wilson","10":"tag-atonio-mafi","11":"tag-brett-toth","12":"tag-california","13":"tag-chicago-bears","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-jordan-meredith","16":"tag-las-vegas","17":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","18":"tag-levi39s-stadium","19":"tag-mcclendon-curtis","20":"tag-nfl","21":"tag-offensive-lineman","22":"tag-san-francisco","23":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","24":"tag-sanfrancisco","25":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers","26":"tag-santa-clara","27":"tag-spencer-burford","28":"tag-vederian-lowe"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116248058519273893","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818369"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818369\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
