It's easily worth it to move on from a 7th round pick to firm up the OT rotation as you get into the playoffs.
You probably don't even lose the guy anyway.
You look at what the Chiefs are trotting out at LT and you probably aren't all that excited to get the guy at the bottom of that pile when he's cut loose.

His last season was better than the current LT options.
PFFfffffffft. I'll go with the eye test. Every time I've seen that guy someone was beating him.
If we're gonna make a change, surely we can do something better than Leno.

Per @ByNateTaylor…
Donovan Smith is ready to go for the Chiefs the minute the phone call is placed.
If Wanya Morris has lingering injury issues during this upcoming week in Buffalo, Nate expects Smith to be on the team.
