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.

No, I get it. Which is why I said it's probably not realistic. I just meant if ever a big trade opportunity presented itself, I don't want to do it for a draft pick to shore up LT. I want the experienced guy. LT prospects crap out too frequently. It's not a strong draft for LT either.
Stanley is intresting. He started all 17 games last year (for the first time in his career). If you're REALLY convinced he's gotten past his injury issues, maybe you take a chance on him. But you're gonna have to be REALLY sure cause he ain't gonna come cheap. Also, the opportunity to weaken the Ravens is interesting as well. But I imagine he's gonna want $25 mil. per year minimum.
Would you give Stanley 4 years $100 mil. w/ $75 mil. gtd? Because I think that is the framework of what his agent will be looking for.
