The Chiefs passed on this. Failing to realize T-Rich was one of their better players the last 5,6 years. This sucks. This organization lost something "good" today.
Clearly a bad move letting him go. He was one of our better blockers, and I don't care what anyone says, he contributed largely to the success of Priest Holmes, and Larry Johnson. We lost a good guy. Makes me think, WTF are the Chiefs REALLY doing this off-season?

Losing Tony Richardson made you think what the **** we are doing?
I'm not terribly pissed about this. Yeah, he was a great lead blocker. There are a lot of great lead blockers out there.
1.25 million per year is some change for a position that typically makes the league minimum.
He did have a hand in their success. But their success began and ended with the offensive line and they are still around, which is far more important.
Go out and sign Fred Beasley for half of what T-Rich got and we won't miss a whole lot except for his leadership.
