If you want a truly great LT, you have to develop him.
If you want a guy whos adequate and overpaid, you sign your FA veteran.
"We just have to fix the LT" is really the same as "We just need a franchise QB" -- it's so much easier said than done.
What people are advocating at the LT position appears to be the Derek Carr approach to fixing the QB position. You go out there and pay way too much for someone you know isn't actually GOOD...but at least he isn't awful. And then you hope that things work out well elsewhere on the roster.
And that's not even an indefensible approach -- but don't act like it's an obviously right one either.

I don’t think Kingsley is the answer but he has LT measurables.
I still remember seeing those charts where we gave him basically no help and didn’t adjust to the shorter passing game.
That still makes zero sense to me, because the Chiefs gave Morris and Thuney more help and adjusted the play calling. I understand refusing to change your system for one guy, but that’s what we ended up doing anyway.
We essentially wasted any chance to develop Kingsley and made LG an abomination in the process.
It’s baffling to me that the Chiefs had one expectation for Kingsley but then made life easier on the guys who replaced him.
