Yeah, so Schwartz didn't jump on the offer, the agent was contacted by the Chiefs, who offered less but they weren't exactly "aggressive" about it. They saw an opening and jumped, albeit for less than Cleveland was offering.
In retrospect, it worked out for Schwartz, although he could still probably get more money on the open market, even today.

To my eyes, there was a clear upgrade when Rankin started at the LG position. He had 5 starts, 0 penalties but unfortunately, never started next to Eric Fisher.
The Guard and Center positions, outside of the guys on last year's 53, seem to me more like a Practice Squad deal, especially given that it's been expanded to 14 from 10 and with the new CBA, veterans qualify for the PS as well.
So, Andy could have a few more raw candidates in which to tinker with during the season.
