The problem is people wanted Veach to sign Smith in direct reaction to seeing a handful of whiffs during one-on-one drills. They weren't giving Kingsley any time. And the problem with bringing in a vet like Smith is he needs reps too, even if you continue to put Kingsley in with the 1s. Meanwhile, Kingsley is steadily improving, getting better, and now apparently has the confidence of most Chiefs fans that he can do the job, and you just signed Smith for no reason at all.
You wanted insurance? Guess what. You've got insurance. And you've had insurance this entire time. Donovan Smith is sitting on his couch waiting for a phone call. You don't need to sign him, bring him in to training camp, and waste cap dollars by either cutting him or letting him rot on the team as backup depth.
