Worth remembering the Chiefs offense was still very good without Mitch Schwartz at RT. They scored 38 points in a conference title game without Schwartz. It was the loss of Eric Fisher at LT that killed them in the Super Bowl right after that.
With that in mind, $20M per year for Jawaan Taylor at RT was a mistake. Rather have Orlando Brown at $22-23M per year at LT mixed with "whoever" at Right Tackle, and play the void year game if you need to do it to make the salary cap work.

Yep. It’s clear whatever the process for their decision making on OBJ was needs to be reevaluated.
From his interviews with the Bengals he’s hinted at clashing with Burkholder’s and Reid’s philosophy, so it’s possible that was more of a contributor to letting him go.
But man, it may have been worth keeping him around regardless.
