If Surtain is a stud - and I think most agree that he is - then why did Miami not re-sign him? The answer to that question is why the Chiefs - and every other NFL franchise - have balked at the Dolphins' asking price. It's because of what he's asking for in his next contract.
And if you want to talk "2nd tier" cornerback trades, you can throw out McKenzie's name all you want, but, as the original article mentioned, Duane Starks went to the New England Patriots for one of the last picks of the third round barely a month ago.
There's no doubt that a lot of teams, including KC, would be thrilled to add someone of Surtain's calibre. But so far not a one has been even remotely interested in paying Saban's asking price. And I don't see any reason why that will, or should, change right now. Wait and negotiate. Eventually something will get done. Maybe we end up paying the asking price, maybe we don't. Hopefully it will fall somewhere in the middle and everybody walks away happy.
