Um, no. They effectively traded a second round pick to get a one year rental for a very serviceable LT (with a second year option to tag) once things were getting somewhat desperate for a LT.
Even if they don't tag him, this is hardly one of the worst deals in Chiefs history let alone NFL history.
What options did KC have that were better than a one year rental at that point in time?
Although obviously they were hoping it would be a long term solution.
