That won't necessarily be the case next season. Both Taylor and Morris will have more experience in the system. That's two more guys with meaningful experience here than we had this year.
I mean we were looking at Niang and Prince - that's it. Both Taylor and Morris could very easily be part of a long-term plan at the position and Smith is simply insurance and/or part of a short term plan that really hadn't been fully resolved.
I just don't get the angst here at all. Especially when we STILL don't know the terms of the deal.

At the very least it gives them options. It seems like people interpret some of these moves as the Chiefs brass pivoting and changing their direction because things didn't play out according to their plan, but I see it as them having enough foresight to provide themselves with contingencies.
Look guys...he NFL is a tough business and things aren't always going to go your way no matter how good your front office is, so intelligent GMs (Like BV) leave themselves with plenty of options.
