The way I see it, when you have studs on the O or D line, you don't run them out of town thinking they will be easily replaced through the draft.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with what we got for him in this trade, I just wish it shouldn't have gotten to this point in the first place - thanks Carl, you dink.

I don't think you can give all the credit to Carl for getting us to this point. JA deserves a good share of it. JA is the one how racked up a couple of DUIs. JA is the one who got pissy when the team refused to give him a major contract on the heals of a substance abuse suspension even though he still had a year left to play out on his contract. And JA is the one who showed up to the 101 banquet in a freaking tuxedo t-shirt, for goodness sake.
My preference would have been for the Chiefs and JA to work out a reasonable deal to keep JA in Chiefs red for a long time, but JA made the choice that he didn't want to be here.
