It's that.....shit there just aren't many of them. We can't seem to figure out how to draft and develop one, I dunno if it's what we're looking for or what is happening there (it's the same at DE it seems like) so it was kinda "ride with who brought you".
LT/QB and somewhat DE are just spots that there aren't alot of people that can do it at a very high level. So if you have one that can, even if it's just in spurts, you basically have to keep that guy around.

Yeah, by the time FA rolled around, I was fine keeping him. KC and OBJ had reached an unhappy truce regarding how he plays and how it works with how we play.
He was never going to be that premier athlete that locks up the arc, but he'd figured out how to use his length to be credible there and then lean in pure bulk to keep the inside mostly clean.
He'd have still struggled in that game against Denver when Bonitto had a rocket up his ass, IMO, but he'd have been fine otherwise.
Both sides saw greener pastures and both sides probably made decisions that made them worse off for it. Is what it is.
