Sure.
But they did everything they could short of giving the largest contract in NFL history to an O-Lineman that is 32 and has had injury/health issues.
Would they be a better O-Line going into this season with TW at LT? Absolutely. But you can't blame them for not being willing to go above the contract that SF gave. You can't pay THAT much money to him. And, for all we know, he wanted to stay in SF all along and he and his agent were just using the Chiefs as leverage for a bigger contract?
Which, kudos to them, clearly worked. No way at his age and with his health history should he be making more than Tunsil and Bahktari.
Crazy.
