Tony Pauline of Draft Insider reported recently that his sources indicate Schwartz "will likely sign elsewhere."ĮSPN describes this as a "tough call" for the Chiefs. Since the Chiefs more or less chose Schwartz last season, starting him instead of Asamoah down the stretch, the assumption that Kansas City would choose to keep Schwartz and let Asamoah walk seemed logical.
