Chiefs weren’t paying any one single player $19M. They weren’t beating the jets contract for Smith, and that’s a terrible risky deal anyway. Miss me with the he only cost about $7M. That’s if he doesn’t hardly play bay games. You don’t sign a value contract and then hope the player is injured or on the bench. You pay someone you expect to be there the whole season - I.e.: up to $20M. Literally no other left tackles were signed yet besides Cornelius Lucas who resigned with his own team?
Having that cap space available early in free agency may have been semi useful, but they have similar sum of all parts guys still on the market. It’s not a calamity.
I rather have the 2025 3rd than a 2024 4th.
If you can sensibly rule out non-factors of them willing to pay him $19M or him to even play on the tag, what’s left? Who did we not sign in the first few waves of free agency that you wanted?
Austin Ekeler? Maybe would have liked that, also possible he just hates the Chiefs and doesn’t want to do a Niel Smith.
