If you're gonna 'pay the price' that hurts, do it for someone who has already been successful at a high level in the NFL.
I just don't know there is a match out there to get it done. There's a reason franchise LT's hardly ever become available.
At this point, I'd hope a full off-season of conditioning and getting ready in our offense might allow Humphries to regain Pro Bowl form or at least be a top half of the league LT like he was a couple years back. That's probably our best bet and most realistic option at this point.

This is a nice dream, but it is but a dream. They're all contenders.
Those teams are not trading those players. The Falcons are not trading Jake Matthews.
The Chiefs will have to either (1) keep pressing bid until they get Alaric Jackson or Ronnie Stanley, assuming those guys even make it to FA (and both carry their own risks - Jackson in his lack of track record, Stanley in his injury histroy) or (2) tackle it with a numbers game (Keep Humphries, sign another contender in FA or draft another one, and make it an open competition between those players and Morris and Suamataia at TC) or (3) randomly get lucky.
