So take your pick: the Chiefs are telling the truth and are complete idiots when it comes to negotiating trades or the Chiefs are lying to save face about getting a shit return in this deal. It's one or the other.

This also assumes when you want to trade a guy you keep it hush hush and don't tell more than one or two teams about it.
I'm sure when someone is available they call around the league to see who'd be interested in getting the player.
If you're not calling all the teams you're really selling yourself short. Even if they know you're going to dump him they still have to outbid each other. If nobody bids it's not because you lowered value, it's because nobody wants him.
