The Las Vegas Raiders made several strong offseason moves under new general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll. They are still somewhat haunted, however, by the poor decisions of regimes past.
Meanwhile, over in Kansas City, the Chiefs continue to extend elite players whom they drafted outside the first round. Last offseason, the nine-time reigning AFC West champions made Creed Humphrey the highest-paid center in NFL history.
On Tuesday, they did the same thing with Trey Smith, making him the highest-paid guard in league history. These massive investments in the interior offensive line are a bit worrisome for the Raiders heading into training camp, as a bit of a crisis could be on their hands.
