While the chiefs let an average OL go and signed a 25 yr old RT with huge upside to bolster their OL....and we didn't do shat Cool
Buffalo Bills latest to create cap space by restructuring contracts, in this case the contracts of Josh Allen and Von Miller. They were 19 million over, but created $32 million in cap space, allowing them to address their needs in free agency (which include safety).

Yep kind of Twilight Zone-ish

You can certainly look at why KC’s been successful in that 5 year window. They’ve foremost drafted well.  You can see why Cincy has been successful. We hit in FA ( defense for sure) and the draft (offense mostly) even if we had early picks. They’ve got their first real crisis…replacing the best safety tandem in the entire league. Hopefully day 2 will go better and provide more insight.

Don't get me wrong I am no KC fan by any stretch of the imagination. Just like their blueprint on what to do when owning a high priced QB over the teams that are selling out their future. Admittedly mostly because it is the way I would choose. So maybe I'm being biased with my opinion.

Well it’s hard to argue with their blueprint. Certainly their OL play has played a huge impact as has ours the other way.
