I think the Bears were trying to get him but settled on Thuney after they tagged Smith. Bears probably wanted Smith because he is much younger. 

I think you're right, but I know they had been shopping him or considering just letting him go. I know lots of Raiders fans were adamant that we not pick him up. Apparently, he is pretty bad.

Still, those guys were starting because there wasn't anyone better on the roster, so they need a replacement plan.

Bears trade for Pro Bowl OL Joe Thuney

Trey Smith? Didn't they just franchise tag him? 

Chiefs need to reassess their entire OLine if they aren't allowed to hold anymore. Were any of these guys any good or did they just become pro bowlers because they played for the Chiefs and were allowed to hold on every play?

Apparently they want to get younger on the OLine.
