Chargers Host Former 49ers Guard Spencer Burford for Free-Agent Visit

The meeting signals Los Angeles evaluating a scheme-familiar depth option for an unsettled interior line.

Overview

  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Burford arrived in Los Angeles on Sunday night for his first known visit of free agency.
  • Burford, a 2022 fourth-round pick out of UTSA, started 38 games over four seasons with San Francisco, including 11 starts in 2025.
  • Pro Football Focus graded his 2025 season at 58.9 overall with stronger run blocking than pass protection, allowing 31 pressures and two sacks.
  • The Chargers recently reshaped the interior line by releasing Mekhi Becton, seeing Bradley Bozeman retire, and signing Tyler Biadasz and Cole Strange.
  • Coverage frames Burford as a possible low-cost or rotational guard with familiarity in a 49ers-style offense, and no agreement has been reported.
