have pieced together their left tackle picture. This past season, it was veteran Donovan Smith who got brought in on a cheap one-year deal. While then-rookie Wanya Morris filled in briefly, Smith played the majority of available snaps and helped Andy Reid's team win another Super Bowl.
With Smith hitting free agency in March, Morris entered the offseason as the favorite to start at left tackle in 2024. That could still be the case, although second-round draft pickIf it is, Kansas City could simply pick up the phone and call Smith. He's still on the open market. A trade would likely be overkill of sorts, but one outlet is proposing an idea to shock the football world anyway., Gary Davenport dove into eight NFL trades to impact playoff races.
In the trade hypothetical, Robinson and a 2026 fifth-round pick head to Kansas City in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round selection. The logic behind it is an investment in protecting the NFL's best player.. "It's impossible in the salary-cap era to hold a championship-caliber roster together.
Everything else must be considered, though. Robinson has a history of knee injuries, including one that saw his 2023-24 campaign get cut short. Additionally, he was suspended for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy. He also accounts for $21.9 million against Jacksonville's current-year salary cap. While his prorated signing bonus wouldn't be inherited by Kansas City, making such a huge financial move at this stage of the offseason isn't very prudent.
There's also the ongoing left tackle battle to take into account. If Robinson were traded for, the Chiefs wouldn't get a definitive answer on what Morris offers and he'd enter his junior campaign, 2025, in the same boat he's in now. Suamataia sitting on the bench for a year isn't the end of the world, but it'd put him on a track similar to Morris.
