Both Fischer and Schwartz released. Welcome to the world of big money QB's Kansas city. Both ended the year injured, but a pretty big surprise apparently. will be well out of the Steelers price range but shows there will be players available.
Chiefs release both starting Tackles

That is shocking given how much trouble they had protecting Mahomes in the SB with both of them out.

It also means one more of the OT will be gone in the 1st. Not that it matters, the local writers say there are 11-12 OT that could be had in the 2nd or 3rd. After the top two, the next dozen all are at the same level.
Very surprising with how bad their line was without them.
With the cap number being so much lower than anticipated, it's going to be a painful year for some of these vets who have made big money in recent years. They will have to reduce their expectations and take a one-year deal to weather the financial storm. Maybe we can find someone cheap(er).

Wow this makes no sense. Mahomes was running for his life in the superbowl and took a beating. I would take Fisher, but don't see any way we could squeeze him in. We would definitely lose Bud and JuJu.

This is true and I'm actually surprised we haven't heard more rumblings from the NFLPA and/or individual players about the recent cap announcement. This is only going to get worse, sure the mega free agents will get paid but this is going to be a large group playing a rough game of musical chairs.
Achilles ( Fisher) and a back injury that required surgery (Schwartz) pretty large area of concern with a Tackle
KC looked terrible in the Superbowl without them

If healthy, Schwartz is REALLY good.

Bud is gone and JuJu is as good as gone unless we get something huge in restructures.

When I watched the SB this year I noticed Mahomes was having a problem with protection. He didn't have a chance in the backfield. This doesn't surprise me at all.

Sign them both. Tombert can make it happen.

I wonder if it was injury (outcome) or cap that made them expendable ? If "cap", wow as I thought they (chiefs) would get this off-season before they start having big 1-player money squeeze .

didn't Fisher tear his achilles in the playoff game vs Buffalo? If so, he probably won't be ready until later in the season.
Both are waaaaay better than the OT's on our roster. We can't afford either unfortunately...
Schwartz has been talking retirement.
