So why wouldn't you just re-sign the guy you have?

The ONLY reason is that you don't think he's going to be physically able, and in that case, KC should be very wary also.

And THAT is all I have to say on Ronnie Stanley.

Isn't Baltimore up against the cap? They'll probably want to keep Flowers and Hamilton long term. Also, Lamar doesn't need a LT as much as other QBs who are more stationery in the pocket.

I'd keep Staley if I were them but I can see the arguments against.

The idea that the most mediocre qb consistently in the playoffs doesn’t need a LT is absurd. Just because he can run doesn’t mean he’s impervious to pressure.

Sure it's great to have a solid LT. Lamar is the most unique QB though. I'd keep Staley but they have other needs too.

There's no greater need if you have a gaping hole at LT, I would think this last season would show that for Chiefs fans.
