I mean we're not talking Barry Richardson here. Winston is a tough and talented veteran very much in his prime who's a good pass protector and his run blocking skills are supreme. Plus, he was starter for nearly SIX years in Houston.
How does any teams front office in their right mind let THAT type of player go without getting anything in return? They won't even get a compensatory draft pick.
Kudos to Pioli and Crennel for going after Winston like a heat-seeking missile and bringing him in and not letting him out of KC without signing a contract.
Winston has probably got a bad taste in his mouth regarding the way Houston just dumped him like that & I suspect his dander is really up.
