Interesting. On paper, yeah, seems a little odd. Roughly the same age, you just won a Super Bowl with the guy, but you give a bigger contract to an outsider who's never played LT.
Couple things... Brown was a RT with BAL before he came to KC (although he did play some LT), so Taylor might work out fine. Also, I've read some KC message boards and local articles occasionally (particularly after the IND-KC game) and Brown didn't seem to be held in high regard. Without watching their games closely... maybe he just didn't play that well.
Clearly Reid and Veach like Taylor on tape.
