And he's more expensive than OBJ (at least surface AAV). And at least we know OBJ was well-liked inside the lockerroom.

As I said, it's a close call. And ultimately if Veach/Reid liked Taylor more than Brown, it's a no-brainer.

I just didn't think the money on their deals would be comparable enough for us to even be having this conversation. I think 90% of us would've been thrilled if we kept OBJ on that deal.

Chiefs got a really athletic guy that should transition to the left side and be really good at passpro for years. Bengals improved their left side and opened some options in the draft.

Contracts aside, both teams should be better between the lines.
