The Kansas City Chiefs signed Justin Watson. It's a tale as old as time. One AFC team makes a big move while the Chiefs settle for the homecoming with a known commodity. That doesn't make it the wrong move. It just makes it the convenient one.

Chiefs sign Watson as short-term depth; insufficient to replace Thornton's deep-threat role.

The Chiefs signed Watson as a known commodity to help fill out the wide receiver roster after injuries to Thornton and Rice. The source characterizes this as a convenient move but notes it is only a temporary solution; eventually something else has to give for the offense as Watson alone cannot replace the production Thornton was providing in the deep passing game.
