The WHOLE reason to get rid of OBJ is the price tag. If you can't save money on a new LT, then getting one in the first place is pointless.
They chances of them finding someone BETTER than OBJ that doesn't break the bank are slim. The absolute best option is to handle it through the draft and trust your ****ing scouts instead of hand-wringing and repeating the Frank Clark mistake.

I'll generally trust the Chiefs' decision-making process on this no matter which way it goes.
But I definitely have more apprehension about Brown's ability to play at a high enough level to justify the type of deal KC offered him in the offseason.
Before this year, based on how he played last year, I was comfortable being vocal about him being a top 10-12 overall LT. Not an elite guy, but good enough that it's reasonable to expect him to be paid right around the top of the market on a new deal.
He hasn't played up to that yet.
I didn't get back to you the other day on the tag/trade vs. let walk in FA/get comp pick discussion. I think the reason you'd be motivated to look at a tag and trade is to get the draft capital NOW for 2023 rather than having to wait until the following year. It would allow KC to be more aggressive in trying to trade up, if that's the plan, for a LT in this draft.
