Andy Reid dances to his own tune and I'm sure he's already planned to fix what went wrong in that game, but you can't get a couple of starting offensive linemen in FA for an $18m cap hit, let alone anything close to a above average tackle. Definitely something to watch.

From what I'm hearing second-handed from Chiefs fans on Royals blogs, both were expected to be hurt all season anyway. Like one had an Achilles injury and the other was hurt, too. So they were going to have to find new tackles anyways.
