The amount of additional money that he got from Miami after you factor in guaranteed money and state income taxes is very significant. In his press conference in Miami, he was honest and saying the money was a big factor in him leaving.
I don't blame him. This is his final chance to really cash in and setup his great grandkids for life.
The 5 picks allow the Chiefs to build a lot more depth and get younger.

Yup.
We're better with him than without him (present day, anyway), but no reason to be mad at him.
We got his cheap years (also, likely his best years), won't be killing our cap with his contract going forward and he allowed us to garner a nice little load of draft capital that will help replenish the roster cheaply and help us get younger.
It hurts now, but it is MUCH better move for the Chiefs long term. Everyone will see that in a few years looking back.
