Chiefs lineman Cam Erving reaps rewards of versatility with contract extension

There was a time Cam Erving might’ve looked at the unofficial depth chart for the Chiefs’ season opener at the Chargers and felt discouraged.

After holding the starting left guard spot throughout the preseason, Erving was bumped to the backup left tackle spot on the cusp of the regular season.

But the former first-round pick wasn’t discouraged by the shift.

After all, he signed a major contract extension less than 24 hours after the chart was released, guaranteeing him at least $10 million over the next three years, making him one of the NFL’s highest-paid swingmen.
