You have to look at how things are constructed along the entire line. We are paying Thuney big money, and Brown will also get big money, and here is the deal we can afford to do that since we have the rest of the line on rookie contracts for the next three years.
The Oline is too important to try and save a few bucks on. If this was the mindset for the Chiefs, then the Brown trade is one of the worst decisions in the history of the NFL, because we could have drafted a LT with the pick we traded away. We did the deal. He is either getting tagged or signing a long term contract. Quit dreaming about what you want to do with an extra 15 million in cap space because its not happening.
