Regardless, it's a close call and it'll be fun having new blood on the OL that we think has a higher ceiling.

The problem is Orlando refused to sign for this type of deal with KC. He wanted $23-25M per year from the Chiefs. He had to go on the open market to eat the humble pie and sign a reasonable contract. I assume Cincy offered him $14-15M per year and he had to play hardball to squeeze the $16M per year out of them.
