In this case, I have no idea if Pioli took him for that reason or just because he felt he was BPA.

Frosty, all most people have done on CP for weeks is bitch about our lack of a quality QB, right? In the process, we have seen countless posts about how meaningless our offensive line is (strangely, the Chiefs apparently disagree).

Free agency means guys can sign anywhere they want to sign, right? You seem to complain no matter what the circumstance, so answer this...what would you have the Chiefs do? Not have somebody ready to take over if Albert leaves? Is that wise in your opinion? What is Albert gets hurt? We have NOTHING behind him...all o-line depth was gone prior to today.

You don't just let good players walk, but you can't stick your head in the sand and assume that any team will be able to keep all of their free agents.

I don't want to resign Dorsey, for instance. He doesn't make sense for this defense and he costs way too much for what he produces. Carr was a loss, but hopefully not one we can't replace.

BTW, compensatory picks are a really good thing. Carr is going to play a lot in Dallas. That means KC will get a high draft pick from the NFL because Carr left KC with no compensation being given in return.
