ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Chargers are hosting free agent OL Spencer Burford for a visit today.
16 March 2026
The 49ers drafted Burford as a fourth-round pick back in 2022. This is his first time hitting the free agent market. Burford injured his knee in Week 2 against the Saints and was placed on injured reserve. He returned in Week 9 and manned the left guard spot from there on out. Burford performance can be somewhat volatile. He generally grades out as a replacement-level player and most recently earned a 62.6 PFF run-blocking grade in the 2025 regular season. The Chargers’ offensive line was hit hard by injuries last season. Adding Burford could improve its depth.
